A look at all the unexpected celebrities who have outwardly supported Trump
Shocked but not surprised
Donald Trump is back, after recently being reelected as the president of the United States. And like every presidential election, celebs in the US went wild showing their support for their chosen candidate, with everything from endorsements to public performances being used to sway the public.
We know that Nigel Farage and Elon Musk are behind him, but who else? These are all the unexpected celebrities who support Trump. Prepare to view some of your favourite celebrities in a different light…
Amber Rose
The American model and television personality spoke in endorsement of Trump at the Republican National Convention. Amber, who stars in the Amber Rose Talk Show, also admitted that she previously condemned her father for supporting him, but now recognises “propaganda” about Trump is all “lies”.
One of the most unexpected celebrities to support Trump, she emphasised that she is from a “racially diverse background” and said: “Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re Black, white, gay, or straight. It’s all love.”
50 Cent

50 Cent support of Trump continues to be somewhat ambiguous. On the day after Trump’s win, he posted photos of himself with Trump, writing: “I don’t care how the fight goes, I’m leaving with the winner…” and “I don’t know what’s going on *face palm emoji* congratulations!!”
During a performance, a picture of Trump’s face was photoshopped into the iconic 2003 Get Rich or Die Trying album cover. Nonetheless, he claims he declined a seven figure offer to perform at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, in his effort to “stay away from politics”.

TikTokker Bryce Hall outwardly wrote on X Trump “is my president” after he survived the assassination attempt in July. Since his public endorsement, it was revealed that Bryce had donated a significant amount to Trump’s campaign.
He’s one of many male influencers, including Conor McGregor and Logan and Jake Paul, who used his platform of 23.7 million followers to share his support for Trump.
Billy Ray Cyrus
Billy Ray Cyrus recently shared photos with Trump, writing: “I stand here with President Donald J Trump as a proud American”.
The performer is widely recognised both for his own music, but also as Miley Cyrus’ dad following his role in Hannah Montanna. His support for Trump was not replicated by his family however, with his son, Trace Cyrus, claiming he did not support his father’s political views.
Billy Ray was also invited to perform at Trump’s Inaugural Ball in Washington DC, after previouslylabelling himself a “conservative democrat”.
Snoop Dogg
Much like 50 Cent, Snoop has an ambiguous and convoluted relationship with Trump. In 2017, Snoop clashed with Trump directly, where a music video of his featured a parodied version of Trump, “Ronald Klump”, with Snoop shooting a toy gun at him.
In 2018, Snoop made allegations about Trump supporters and even gave reasons for why he didn’t support him.
Yet, his attitude changed in 2024. In light of Trump pardoning Michael Harris in his last days in office in 2021, Snoop lated claimed: “He’s only done great things for me… So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.” Snoop also performed at inauguration events.
Russell Brand

After hosting bit TV favourites like Big Brother, Russell Brand has stepped back from the public eye since a number of allegations were made against him.
He is still pretty active online, hosting his own podcast show Star Free. He posted a video clip from the podcast online, where he said: “If you care about freedom, I don’t know how you can do anything other than vote for Donald Trump
Russell has now moved from the UK to Florida, a Republican state.
Time will only tell if support wavers or strengthens from these figures as he continues in office over the next few years…
