“Man, you ungrateful motherf***ers!’ – Trump allies says rapper he helped stopped answering their messages

El Presidente Trumpo has apparently been snubbed by the bizarrely named A$AP Rocky, a rapper that he had helped get out of trouble in Sweden. From the Hill:

Some of President Trump’s allies who said they were involved in the White House’s recent push to secure A$AP Rocky’s release from detainment in Sweden earlier this month claimed that it was understood that the rapper was supposed to thank the president for his efforts after his release. But now they say his team is longer “returning our text messages.”

In an interview with Yahoo News released on Thursday, Darrell Scott and Kareem Lanier — a pastor and co-chair of the Urban Revitalization Coalition, respectively, who have made several appearances at White House events focused around black issues — said they were instrumental in kickstarting the Trump administration’s efforts to secure the release this month.

This made a lot of news because Trump kept tweeting about it but the Swedish officials kept rebuffing his demands and requests.

When the guy made it back to the states, apparently they stopped taking calls from the White House and their allies.

At one point, Lanier said he “snapped” at one of Rocky’s attorneys with whom he was in contact, Damien Granderson, after he appeared unappreciative of Trump’s efforts.

“I was like, man, you ungrateful motherf—-ers, you. I can’t believe you. … We didn’t ask you guys for nothing other than for you guys to be grateful,” Lanier recalled saying. “We just want you guys to be appreciative and say thank you.”

Scott and Lanier also said that once Rocky was released, Ehmann stopped “returning our text messages” shortly after.

“All he had to do was do a two-minute call to say thank you. Rocky hasn’t even called us and said, ‘Hey, man, thank you guys. I appreciate it,’ in private. Just in private,” Scott told the publication.

I mean, that does kinda sound ungrateful. On the other hand, he was found guilty. He also had to serve time in jail in Sweden, so it’s not like Trump’s intervention helped much. Maybe he thinks he doesn’t have much to be thankful for? Either way, it’s clear the White House is upset over the ordeal.
