American Singer Swae Lee Slams Kamala Harris, Warns Black Voters Not to ‘Sentimental’ Vote

In a surprise move, American R&B singer Swae Lee has urged his fans not to vote for Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, in the upcoming election. Swae Lee, known for his chart-topping hits like “Sunflower,” took to social media to voice his concerns, citing the massive foreign aid packages sent by Harris and President Joe Biden to other countries.

In his series of posts, Swae Lee urged his fans to “do research on that whole camp” and questioned where the millions of dollars in tax payer funds sent abroad each year could have been better spent. “My black people, she don’t do nothing but sign off on things against y’all… voting just ‘cuz you think she’s black is not gonna end in your favor,” the singer wrote.

Swae Lee particularly emphasized the importance of not allowing sentimentality to guide their decisions in the election, cautioning that it would not have a favorable outcome. “Think about that [money] and y’all standing for Kamala,” he said.

His statements have sparked controversy among both supporters and detractors of Kamala Harris, with some hailing Swae Lee for his critical thinking and others criticizing the singer for meddling in the democratic process.

The election season in the United States is heating up, and this latest development has drawn attention to the complexities of foreign aid packages and their impact on American citizens.
