Azealia Banks claims she actually voted for Donald Trump despite going on a lengthy rant about how she’s supporting Kamala Harris on Election Day. She shared a picture of what appears to be her ballot with Trump’s name selected on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday morning. She wrote in the caption: “Lmao I lied, I voted for Trump yesterday,” with a laughing emoji.
As for Banks’ initial endorsement of Harris, she cited Trump’s allegiance with Elon Musk as a key contributing factor. “I really think keeping Elon Musk away from any type of political power in the USA is tantamount to any issue on the table here. You have to be a complete idiot to think that dirtbag cares about anyone or anything other than himself,” Banks wrote in the lengthy rant on X.

As for this afternoon, he’s already at 277 electoral college votes.
