Lil Dicky Talks About the 2016 Presidential Campaign and Safe Sex on CNN
Although he refers to himself as “actively uninformed” about the 2016 presidential election, Lil Dicky sat down with CNN to talk shop. In a video posted today (April 4), the comical “Save Dat Money” rapper expressed his concern about one candidate in particular running for president.
“This particular instance, it seems like we have a super villian,” says Dicky with a half-smirk. “Donald Trump seems like, and I know I’m so uninformed that I’m talking out of my ass, but I do think I’m right that he seems like a super villain.”
The Pennsylvania rapper isn’t the only artist in hip-hop to denounce and diss Donald Trump these days. The Republican nominee has drawn scathing reviews from rappers like Wyclef Jean, Jeezy, Waka Flocka Flame and more over the political and socio-economical platforms he’s pushing in his campaign. Mac Miller recently went as far as to ether the Don on late night television when he appeared on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore back in March.
Aside from politics, the Professional Rapper took time to talk about another topic he’s more well versed in: safe sex. The “Lemme Freak” MC expressed astonishment for how easily some of his friends have casual, unprotected sex. But luckily, he has a plan.
“I think as a society, we’ve gotten incredible laissez faire about wearing condoms. And there’s a whole other thing that I’m going to attempt to do about the destigmatization about genital herpes because I think that disease is so overly stigmafied [sic]. Like I know people with herpes who haven’t been on a date in two years because they can’t have that conversation during crunch time.”
Dicky knows a thing or two about being stigmatized. Known for his quirky, Woodie Allen-esque brand of awkward, goofy rap, Dicky has had to fight to win over raps fans and fellow artists. But his bars have proven him a worthy peer. Dropping his Professional Rapper album last summer, Dicky has worked with Snoop Dogg, Fetty Wap, Rich Homie Quan and T-Pain thus far in his budding career with more collabs to come.
