American singer Swae Lee has taken to social media to advise his fans against voting for Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, in the upcoming election. Lee’s comments come amidst his criticism of the current administration’s financial decisions and its impact on American citizens.
In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Lee expressed frustration over what he perceives as the misallocation of taxpayer dollars. He argued that the funds sent by Harris and President Joe Biden to other countries could have been used to improve the lives of Americans.
Lee wrote, “Do not vote for Kamala!!! Do your research on that whole camp. I pay over millions in tax dollars every year and this man [President Biden] sent it to a whole nother country! Those lil dollars that come off your checks they gave it away! Think about that sh*t.”
He further elaborated on his concerns, stating, “The money we sent away to every American citizen could’ve gotten a minimal 200 grand think about that but I guess we don’t need the sh*t and y’all standing for Kamala.”
The ‘Sunflower’ crooner specifically urged Black voters to critically evaluate their choices rather than allowing racial sentiment to guide their decisions. He warned that supporting Harris merely based on her identity as a Black woman might not lead to favorable outcomes for the community. Lee’s message was clear: “My Black people, she don’t do nothing but sign off on things against yall..favour.(us) voting just cuz you think she’s black is not going to end in your favor.”
