Florida-based rapper Plies took his political support to a new level with his latest release, “Mrs. 47,” an homage to Vice President Kamala Harris and her 2024 presidential campaign. Released on October 28, Plies shared his dedication to Harris and his late grandmother in a heartfelt Instagram post, writing, “Promised My Grandmother Before She Passed. The Next Time This Opportunity Presented Itself. I Wouldn’t Miss The Moment!!! Granny I Love U & We’re Gonna Get This Done!! @kamalaharris A.K.A Mrs. 47!!!”
In “Mrs. 47,” he combines personal memories and a sharp critique of former president Donald Trump. Referencing rapper Snoop Dogg, Plies raps, “Snoop said it best, ‘Don’t hate white people, just don’t deal with Trump’/ He hate the have-nots so much, he don’t even wanna feed ’em lunch!” Through these lyrics, Plies confronts what he views as Trump’s neglect toward marginalized communities, highlighting his own vision of unity against divisive politics.
This is not Plies’ first endorsement of Harris. Last summer, he voiced his admiration for Harris’ support among Black women, suggesting she create a national holiday honoring their contributions. “@KamalaHarris When U Win This Election. U Better Sign An Executive [Order] & Create A ‘Black Women’s Day,’” he previously posted on Instagram.
Plies Family Legacy Inspires Political Beliefs
Plies’ song also serves as a tribute to his grandmother’s enduring hopes for Black leadership. Reflecting on her reaction to Barack Obama’s election, he reveals, “My grandmother ‘had tears in her eyes’ when Obama was elected.” He expressed that her dream extended beyond Obama, envisioning future Black leaders like Harris in the White House. According to Plies, his grandmother “is smiling down from heaven,” celebrating this milestone for Black Americans.
As Election Day approaches, the raper continues to be vocal in his support, urging early voting in an increasingly close race. Harris, who is now campaigning in critical swing states, draws strong backing from supporters like Plies. Meanwhile, former President Trump’s campaign has similarly ramped up its outreach, with rallies scheduled across battleground states.
