In an interview with Billboard magazine, the rapper, whose real name is Chancellor Johnathan Bennett, talks up Clinton as a Chicago native who's gotten shortchanged this election season.
“Not to sound selfish, but she’s from Chicago, so I would hope that she’d be engaged in our city’s current troubles and needs,” the rapper said.
He went on to praise Clinton’s character: “She has a certain sincerity that’s hidden by the media. I’m not sure if it’s because she’s a woman or because Donald Trump just has a stronghold on the media at this time, but she’s unfairly treated. I can’t really speak on her policies but I feel a certain connection to Hillary Clinton that’s just not there with Donald Trump.”
