The rapper, known for his association with the drill music scene, was spotted alongside the Republican presidential nominee at a meet-and-greet following the event, sparking a flurry of reactions online.
Fivio Foreign Supports Trump at Pennsylvania Rally
The Shade Room, a popular platform for celebrity news, posted a video on September 1st showing Fivio at Trump’s rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The footage, initially shared by the Instagram account @NYDrillOfficial2, captures the rapper mingling with Trump after the rally. In another clip from the event, Fivio is seen embracing reggaeton artist Anuel AA, a fellow Trump supporter who was also present at the rally.
To further validate his presence, Fivio took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share a photo of himself at the rally, captioning it, “Haters gon say it’s AI [American flag emoji],” while Trump was delivering his speech. This public display of support has led to a divided response among fans and followers.
Mixed Reactions to Fivio’s Endorsement
As videos and images of Fivio’s appearance at the rally began circulating on social media, many fans expressed disappointment and disbelief. Criticism ranged from questioning his decision to support Trump to more pointed remarks about his character.
One fan on Instagram commented, “These big ole veneers must be affecting their brain…[brain emoji] [tears of joy emoji],” hinting at a perceived lack of judgment. Another user wrote, “Trump paying these ppl a tiny bag in exchange for their souls [tears of joy emoji],” suggesting that financial incentives might be behind the rapper’s support. A more scathing comment read, “If you’re BLACK and in support of Donald Trump, it’s obvious YOU lack the intelligence that’s necessary fo OUR democracy,” highlighting the deep political and racial tensions surrounding Trump’s candidacy.
Despite the overwhelming negative reactions, some users defended Fivio’s right to his political stance. One commenter pointed out, “They [Fivio and Anuel] have the right to endorse Trump if they want to, y’all need to stop trying to force Kamala on us,” indicating frustration with those who criticize differing political views. Another supporter emphasized the importance of voting based on personal interests, stating, “At some point y’all gonna stop getting butthurt over people having a different opinion than you[.] You vote for the candidate that has policies that benefit you and your family. Not everyone has the same needs or wants.”
