From Sada Baby to Queen Latifah: Rappers and what they mean to Trump and Biden in 2024

Former President Obama picked Kendrick Lamar over Drake when asked in 2016 who would win in a rap battle. Since his presidency, rappers have had an elevated, if informal, platform in politics, making their own preferences for president known too. 

And in 2024, while notable rap artists lean towards President Biden, former President Donald Trump has also seen his support grow, too, especially among younger rappers.

On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris joined rapper Quavo, of the "Migos," in Atlanta for a summit centered around gun violence prevention. Last Saturday, Detroit rapper Sada Baby was outside the 180 Church in Detroit, encouraging people to vote for Trump.
