Raury and Donald Trump are not friends, and that was made clear during an appearance by the rapper on the Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Sporting a bright green Mexican jersey with the word Trump crossed out, Raury Alexander Tullis belted his single “God’s Whisper” moments after the politician and flamboyant billionaire had conducted an interview with host Stephen Colbert.
Raury and Donald Trump appeared on the same show, but have very different point of views when it comes to Mexicans.
On Tuesday night, the controversial author and mogul was a guest on Late Show With Stephen Colbert where he talked about building a giant wall between the United States and Mexico.
Trump, who recently declined to correct a supporter, who erroneously stated that Barack Obama is a Muslim, was asked by Stephen Colbert if he still believes that the president was born in Kenya.
To everyone’s surprise, the original birther declined to answer and went right back to pushing the storyline on how the U.S.-Mexico border will be sealed because he will make the Mexican government pay for it.
Mr. Trump’s interview was followed by an interesting performance from Atlanta-based rapper Raury Alexander Tullis, better known as Raury, who is promoting his new album, All We Need, due out on October 16.
Raury, 19, belted his southern rap song called “God’s Whisper,” which he produced and wrote. The teenager wore a green jersey in support of Mexico’s soccer team and his signature straw hat. After belting the following lyrics, Raury turned around to reveal that it had the word “Trump” crossed out with a giant red X.
“I won’t compromise
I won’t live a life
On my knees
You think I am nothing
I am nothing
You’ve got something coming
Something coming because.”
After the performance, Raury and his band yelled: This is for Mexico. He also spoke to Vice where he revealed that September is National Hispanic Heritage Month, and he is baffled by Trump’s countless insults towards Mexicans. Raury stated:
“Trump embodies separation, solving problems with anger, fear, and personal differences. I’m all about the opposite, about being inclusive and open.”
Raury, who wrote “Fly” after he learned that Darren Wilson was not indicted for shooting and killing unarmed black teenager Michael Brown last year in Ferguson, Missouri, added:
“I’ll always have something to say, especially when it affects me, like police brutality or giving the police any more power.”

I am not a Trump fan, but who cares what Raury thinks and why is this news
I agree who gives a crap what this low life says. He is for anyone who will keep giving to those who will not do for themselves. We do need to close the borders and stop some of this welfare free stuff. Why do these people go on tv and make asses out of them self. He is basically a no body.
I care
I have a feeling so are you
I don’t give a crap what he
thinks. I am voting for Trump. Just like I don’t care what fox news says
Raury is such a moron. All he did was give Trump free press. Instead of all these whiners complaining, how about PROMOTING your good guys.
What is there to protest? If you don’t like a candidate you don’t vote for them. It doesn’t require any protest. What an idiot.
Trump was not the Original “birther” as you put it. That’s simply not true. The original “birthers” came from Hilary Clintons’ campaign team in 2007 Primary election. Use facts next time.
Clinton started the Muslim rumors, but Trump is behind the “birther” claims (Obama was born in Kenya and not in Hawaii). They are two separate things.
For Clinton (circa 2008), Obama is an American Muslim, but for Trump, his citizenship is a forgery.

What is the source for your assertion that the Clinton campaign did not start the questioning of Obama’s citizenship?
You are correct that the claims Obama is a Muslim and the claims he is not a citizen are two separate things, but you are absolutely wrong with your claim Trump is the one who started the “birther” movement. It was from those associated with the Clinton campaign as J stated.
Those claims were coming from disgruntled Clinton supporters with no real ties to her campaign. Moreover, the fringe groups pushing the theory never gained any traction. However, Mr. Trump took “birtherism” to the mainstream world and forced Obama to show his papers. This development alone is enough for him to earn the title of birther-in-chief.
Raury, crawl back under your rock nobody cares what you think. You are a total moron
What a rapper isn’t endorsing a presidential candidate. Now who am I supposed to look for to tell me how I should vote. Rappers I know are just knee deep in the politics game. Always rapping about budget crisis and foreign policies how do they find the time?
A rapper/celebrity who doesn’t support a Republican? Unheard of! LMAO. Like this is any kind of news, really did anyone expect any different?
moving to north korea fck the jewsa, cancelled [forfeited] my pension and social security, don’t want any of it will defect to the north korea i hate amerika and rappers that live in the phony country known as ameriKa
Raury? I must have been sleeping when he popped onto the scene. And just FYI. Hillary Clinton and her campaign were the original birthers: your entitlesd to your own opinion, but not your own facts.
Clinton started the Muslim rumors, but Trump is behind the “birther” claims (Obama was born in Kenya and not in Hawaii). They are two separate things.
Another complete nobody milking attention from Trump’s fame-a flea on the back of an elephant.
ahaha some guy nobody knows trying to get famous off of Trump. Trump 2016, deal with it.
Sure lets elect a lying, sexist,racist who filed for bankruptcy four times, and doesn’t own most of the buildings with the trump name on them.what a bunch of fools you are.
I agree Keith. What is scarier than this maniac becoming our President is the fact that he has followers. I have never seen in my day a narcissist that has so many people brain-washed.
lol youve never even voted before since your only 18. ibet when donald trump saw this today he was probally like who the fu@k is raury never heard of him lol a mediocre rapper thinks he can stand up to a billionaire lol. wtf is raury any way?
Why does he have to be called a nobody? aren’t you somebody?How many of you have been on late night prime time T.V. ?
Nice hat…did he steal that off the same illegal where he got his Mexico shirt?
Who is Raury? Never heard of him before this and won’t hear any more in a week.
Raury, I love the support that you are showing the Latino population. I guarantee you, Donald had that smug look on his face, great job!
He’s doing his banking (at 19 years old BTW) while you losers are wasting time hating him on this thread. Priceless.
I don’t know Raury, never heard of him even though I lived in Atlanta from 1989-1995 and 2001-2004. Bottom line for Raury on Trump: Like Michael Corleone in the Godfather, It’s nothing personal Raury, it’s strictly business.
ever live in philadelphia, its a cesspool of vipers
Hillary Clinton herself is the one who first said in public that Obama was born in Kenya, no question about it. The author of this articles says the men at trump’s rally erroneously mispoke when they said Obama is a muslim and born in Kenya. Well, the facts substantiate just that. Obama’s grandmother said he was born in Kenya. Obama applied to Occidental College as a foreign student on his application. The president of Kenya on live American radio during an interview confirmed Obama was born there, and that Kenya was very proud of their native son. The ambassador of Kenya also confirmed on live America radio that Obama was born in Kenya, and his place of birth and home were very well known in the country. Obama admitted via a Freudian slip that he was a Muslim during a television interview. The birht certificate the WH provided was a complete fraud, which was picked apart by computer geeks worldwide, ans well as anyone who knows how to use adobe illustrator to peel away the 8 or so layers it took to doctor the fraudulent I am sick of this made up word, “birther” document. It’s scalled truth! Obama is an illegal alien muslim, period. It has nothing to do with being racist. It has to do with the law, and he is absolutely lawless.
then obama should be arrested and charged with fraud!!
Fact deal with it!
Peace to you all. No more time to argue over the inept circus sideshow act that is trump. Though you might want to do some research on him and get the REAL facts before you cast your vote.
LOL…Take away the overblown light show and the knackness for blackness and meaningless tripe is all that remains. Don’t fall for this fake, leftist bs. Colbert, like every other brainless Commiecrat late night tv host now is a rich, pasty white, girly man from New England. That’s diversity?? Check it out homes, there ain’t no blacks and browns in their audiences or even in New England!!!
Who the heck is Raury. And maybe he should go over to Mexico then he dont have to worry anymore.
You want to live here support this county and speak the language, at the rate were going now we might as well add a letter to the USA to USAM.
I dont think Trump is counting on many Mexican votes, and Mexican in the Republican party is a complete moron since there are many racists in the republican party but not all. Trump is not racist hes just sick of the illegals as pretty much every other law abiding citizen. They take jobs and bring crime (organized and un organized both).
Im a former Democrat voting for Trump and hes the only one I would vote for maybe Carson, but again why is a black man in the republican party something up there.
philadelphia circa 1994, district attorney holds press conference, black prison population young black males between a ages of 17 to 36 make up %76 of jail population, nexct day city councilman michael nutter, now mayor of philly, calls da racist and insensitive, the prison population is not 76% black . its %64 ????
All you European-Americans or “White Devils” should go back to where you belong which is Europe nobody invited you over to the western hemisphere and nobody wants your raping, serial killing, pedophilia loving, mass murdering asses here. So your 500 years of squatting is over! Goodbye you all
