Recently, at a presidential rally in NYC, Donald Trump was joined by Brooklyn rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow. Sheff G had only positive things to say about Trump, stating, “They always gonna whisper your accomplishments and shout your failures. Trump gonna shout the wins for all of us.” Sleepy Hallow kept it brief with a classic, “Make America great again.”
Fans were left baffled and some were outright angry. Peter Rosenberg, vocal as ever, didn’t hold back on his thoughts during his show, Ebro in the Morning. He believes Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow should be removed from Hot 97’s Summer Jam lineup because of their endorsement. Rosenberg didn’t stop there; he made sure to let his higher-ups at the station know how he felt.
In an episode snippet, Rosenberg describes the rally as a “big joke” to Sleepy Hallow, noting, “He could barely hold himself together from laughing. What kind of endorsement is that?” Rosenberg’s frustration was clear, questioning the seriousness behind the rappers’ support for Trump.
Adding another layer, Rosenberg mentioned he’s enlisted a journalist friend to dig deeper into why and how Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow’s appearance at the rally occurred. It’s evident Rosenberg isn’t ready to let this go without understanding the backstory.
Whether or not Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow will face consequences for their Trump rally appearance remains to be seen. However, Rosenberg’s stance is clear: he wants them out of Hot 97’s Summer Jam lineup. This controversy adds yet another twist to the ongoing political drama surrounding public figures and their endorsements.
