US rapper YG has undoubtedly given one fan a night to remember, kicking the audience member out for refusing to shout ‘Fuck Donald Trump’ during a recent show.
When it comes to politics, things can get very messy, very quickly. When you mix music with politics, you can either witness the birth of some stunning artists and songs, or some incredibly awkward moments.
In fact, the latter is exactly what a crowd of YG fans received over the weekend, with the rapper having something of an onstage clash with a fan midway through his set.
For a bit of background, if you’re not aware of YG and his controversial appearance at the 2018 Spilt Milk festival, then you might at least be aware of his 2016 track ‘FDT’.
An initialism of the phrase “Fuck Donald Trump”, the tune was written in response to Donald Trump’s policies regarding Mexican immigrants, and sees the rapper teaming up with Nipsey Hussle to deliver a searing track full of political poetry.
In fact, YG even took this track to the people with a headline tour also titled “Fuck Donald Trump”, ensuring that absolutely none of his fans could have misconstrued his feelings in regards to the US President.
However, the rapper appeared to experience a difference in opinions over the weekend, when he pulled a fan onstage during his set at the Mala Luna Music Festival in San Antonio, Texas.

Check out the onstage incident:
As Variety notes, the fan made his way onstage during YG’s set, shaking his hand before the rapper began to lay into him.
“I don’t know if I want to shake your hand yet,” YG can be seen telling the fan.
“Listen, I spotted you out in the crowd. I asked you if you fuck with Donald Trump. You said you don’t know. So, since you don’t know, I need you to make up your mind tonight.
“I want you to state your name, because I know your mama, your daddy, your grandmama, your grandfather is watching, I want you to state your name and go ‘Fuck Donald Trump.’”
Unfortunately for the unnamed fan, he refused to speak ill of the president, causing YG to proclaim that “he a Donald Trump supporter”, and telling him to “get his ass out of here” as his people escorted the fan offstage.
While this has obviously resulted in some differing opinions between fans on either side of the political spectrum, YG has definitely made his point clear in regards to where he stands politically. Just in case a song and tour called “Fuck Donald Trump” wasn’t quite enough.
