In addition, fans were also shocked by the former’s new “collaborative single” “ONBOA47RD” with Fivioforeign and Kodak Black. The title refers to Trump’s current campaign to become the 47th President of the United States, which the two rappers are more than happy to endorse. Of course, the song sparked a backlash from fans online, whether they were Republican supporters, vehement opponents, or just fans of Fivio or Kodak Music. Their questions ranged from the politics on display to clichés on the track, among other criticisms.
