Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris endorsed Donald Trump with a passionate speech at the former president’s rally in New York City on Sunday. In doing so, he thanked Trump for commuting his prison sentence in 2021. He was one of several celebrities Trump pardoned in the final hours of his presidency, including Lil Wayne, Kodak Black, and more.
“If it wasn’t for Donald Trump, I wouldn’t be standing here today,” he said. “So I wanna thank President Donald Trump for allowing me for stand here in front of you today. It’s a bigger story — gotta let you know about it! God spoke to his heart and Donald Trump signed with his heart my release after 33 years. God spoke to his heart.”

The endorsement comes after Trump praised Harris in a post on his Truth Social website, earlier this month. “Michael Harris (Harry O), is working hard to support and build on what my administration did for Black Americans in the first term,” Trump wrote. “Good luck to Michael and the Community First team. Working together, we will Make America Great Again for everyone!”
