Since Donald Trump’s inauguration two years ago, YG has been a staunch opposer of No. 45. The Compton native has amplified his stance through public statements to recording his disdain on the 2016 single “FDT” which stands for “F**k Donald Trump.”
Now, on Jan. 15, the Still Krazy rapper took to Twitter to alert the masses that the “FDT” follow-up is on the way. The message, which went viral with over 20,000 retweets, ignited a wave of excitement within fans. Although YG released another part of the song featuring G-Eazy and Macklemore, details are still a little murky as to the exact type of content or format his rumored melody will entail.
When the original “FDT” was released, YG claimed the Secret Service contacted his record label, Def Jam, to review more lyrical content on his album. In an interview with Rolling Stone, YG said, “The Secret Service started calling in about the song when it got released. The song didn’t release through Def Jam; we just leaked it. So then, weeks passed. I’m turning in my album and the song was. … It’s goin’ crazy. I saw that and I’m like, ‘Damn. I need to put this on the album.’ We had to censor damn near a big part of the song. But I did it because the record was important. I’m like, ‘Man, this sh*t got to be on the album. F**k it.”
“FDT” was eventually turned into a national tour with the proceeds benefiting victims of police brutality. “Like, we was just trying to really make the tour mean something real besides the ‘F**k Trump’ thing, because I don’t want nobody to think I’m just trying to do this to capitalize off what’s going on and his name,” he said. “It’s like nah, like I’m really out here for the people. And I’m gonna show y’all in so many different ways.”
FUCK DONALD TRUMP 2 BOMING SOON
