As much of vocal Hip Hop seems to support Barack Obama as America's best fit Presidential candidate, Reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee shocked some in his staunch endorsement for Republican candidate John McCain.
Earlier this week, in an Arizona high school, the Interscope Records platinum performer announced his support, and spoke to the urban youth on the candidate's strengths,
Another artist of Latin heritage, Fat Joe [click to read], told MTV late Thursday, that the Puerto Rican Yankee is a "sellout" for doing so.
"I’m talking to little cousins that like [Yankee] and all that, and they’re starting to believe that John McCain is [the best candidate]. I can’t have that," said the Bronx-born member of D.I.T.C.
Noting the affect the endorsement had, the Hip Hop veteran added, “I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that. The reason why I called him a sellout is because I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him. How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? We’re fighting an unjust war. It’s the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war. … We over here trying to take the troops out of Iraq and bring peace. This guy immediately wants war.
If not with Iraq or Afghanistan, he’ll start a new one with Iran. I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he’s just not educated on politics.”
In November, Joe expressed positive support of both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to HipHopDX, as the two competed for the Democratic bid at the time.
