Rapper Waka Flocka Flame has made headlines for his enthusiastic endorsement of President-elect Donald Trump following his stunning victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Waka took to social media, sharing his excitement with a photo alongside Trump, declaring that “Based season has commenced.” It seems there’s nothing like a Trump win to bring out the enthusiasm in artists who appreciate unapologetic individuality.
For those not in the loop, “based” is a slang term indicating agreement, or a recognition of someone for being genuine, courageous, and typically refusing to bow to political correctness. In a world where truth can often take a backseat, it’s refreshing to see a public figure embrace what the mainstream media might term “problematic” views. Waka’s social media activity has been anything but silent; he has previously assured his followers that he remains steadfast in his Trump allegiance, reiterating that Trump “still my president.” This kind of consistency is rare in today’s fickle celebrity culture.
GOOD MORNING SQUAD 🧱💯

During a concert earlier this year, Waka made headlines by asking attendees who supported Joe Biden to leave his show. It’s hard not to appreciate the boldness of someone who is unafraid to express their opinions—disrupting a usual performance to make a point is not an everyday occurrence. This behavior seems to resonate with a significant part of the American populace who feel overlooked by political elites and mainstream celebrities.
The 2024 election results are just rolling in, but it’s clear Trump isn’t just surviving; he’s thriving. Projections show him winning an impressive 312 electoral votes, possibly surpassing his 2016 performance. By contrast, all Kamala Harris has to show for her candidacy is a well-documented history of gaffes and a lack of a clear, compelling vision. While the left tries to spin this as a setback, it appears the American electorate is more aligned with Trump’s unapologetic style rather than Harris’s often muddled messaging.
Waka Flocka’s excitement reflects a broader sentiment sweeping through conservative circles—people are done with watering down their beliefs and ready to embrace the “America First” agenda without hesitation. In a realm dominated by ‘woke’ culture, it’s quite the relief to see a public figure throwing caution (and political correctness) to the wind. As Trump prepares for a second term, many are left wondering how quickly the country can bounce back from the last few years of leftist policies that have created division and unrest. If celebrities like Waka continue to vocalize their support, it might just energize the grassroots movement that has always been at the heart of the Republican resurgence.
