Rapper Plies recently made waves by defending his unwavering support for Vice President Kamala Harris amid the 2024 presidential election. In a video posted on social media, Plies broke down his reasoning in a straightforward, no-nonsense style. He emphasized that until Kamala Harris has a track record of legal issues and questionable behavior similar to her opponent, she remains the better candidate in his eyes.
Plies, known for his candid takes, didn’t shy away from addressing critics, particularly Black men, who question his support for Harris. He urged them to stop holding Black women to a higher standard than they do white male candidates. His comments sparked a debate, with some, like Charlamagne Tha God, pushing back, arguing that every candidate should be held accountable and voters shouldn’t just settle for what they’re given.
Plies, however, made it clear that for him, the choice is simple. He’s not willing to support someone with a history of legal and moral issues over a qualified Black woman. His stance highlights his belief that the stakes are too high to support a candidate like Donald Trump, and he challenged others to reflect on what they truly value in a leader.
This bold defense of Kamala Harris is part of Plies’ broader commitment to standing up for what he believes is best for the Black community, even if it means facing criticism from peers(
