Rapper Killer Mike clashed with host Sunny Hostin on “The View,” emphasizing his focus on local elections over federal ones, and defending his interactions with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.
He highlighted his support for local politicians and his reluctance to engage in national politics at this time.
“We get caught up in the soap opera of federal elections and that’s fine, but if you are concerned with the federal election, and you don’t know your city council, your wardsman, you don’t know who your mayor is, and you don’t have a good list of state representatives or governor, then you’re just a part of whoever wins the Super Bowl, the fanfare,” Killer Mike said.
“In terms of nationally, I’m just kind of doing what my grandfather said. Staying out of White folks’ business and watching what happens. I’m going to see what happens,” he said.
“If there’s a candidate that pops up around September, October, that needs a push that’s really, policy-wise is good for us that’s going to jump up, but right now I don’t want to be involved in the soap opera because I’m worried about what’s going on in Atlanta on the hyper-local level.”
“Not support of Kemp,” he said. “That’s some misinformation. You can not like me, but don’t lie on me.”
“He’s the governor of my state, I have to be involved with him, I can’t divorce myself,” he said. “But let me say this, if you criticize someone, don’t lie. Don’t say I didn’t support [Stacey] Abrams because I did. Don’t say I don’t support Democrats because I’ve helped get three Democratic mayors elected, two state representatives elected, but if someone is in the king’s seat, I’m not going to not have dinner with the king on behalf of my people. I have to do that.”
The rapper also addressed his recent arrest at the Grammys, describing it as a minor incident.
