As the 2016 Presidential election creeps closer more and more celebrities are vocalizing their picks for who should be our next commander-in-chief. Very early on Monday morning, controversial rapper Azealia Banks took to Twitter to announce that when it comes time for her to cast her vote, she’ll be voting for Donald Trump.
Ok so, I think I'm ready to admit that I'm going to vote for Donald Trump.

Her declaration erupted into a long exchange with her Twitter followers in which she attempted to explain her favoring of Trump saying, “I think Trump is the only one who truly has the balls to bust up big business. Hilary is too tied in with them and Bernie has no clout.”

It’s a bit of a back-handed compliment, to be sure. But every vote counts! Meanwhile, Banks has also announced that she’ll be releasing a new song called “The Big Beat” on February 7th.
