(AllHipHop News) The Hip Hop Twitterverse went crazy this weekend when a tweet from the verified account of Eric B. & Rakim appeared to endorse Donald Trump for president.
The legendary Hip Hop duo is insisting that is not the case.
A subsequent tweet suggested the Eric B. & Rakim Twitter page was hacked, but they were able to get control of the account again.
“We’ve taken back command of our Twitter. Thanks for your help [Twitter Support],” read one tweet.
Then a series of additional tweets went on to clarify that Trump is not the preferred candidate of the Paid In Full album creators.
In fact, the group announced they want Hillary Clinton to be the 45th President of the United States.
“We are with her. [Hillary Clinton], the next [POTUS]. Hope that’s clear enough. Deal with it,” Eric and Rakim stated.
We’ve taken back command of our twitter. Thanks for your help @Twitter @Support.
