Here we are again, folks—Charles Hamilton, once hailed as the Harlem prodigy ready to shake up Hip-Hop, has re-emerged not with a new track, but with a GoFundMe plea and some fiery words aimed at Donald Trump. You gotta wonder, is this the cosmic irony of Mercury retrograde messing with his hustle? I mean, when the planet that rules communication takes a nosedive, maybe it’s no surprise that a lyrical genius finds himself tangled in a mess of public breakdowns and benefit cuts. Charles, who dazzled during the early 2000s New York rap renaissance, has been navigating a very public spiral—his sharp bars overshadowed by viral mishaps and mental health battles. Now, living on government assistance he says Trump’s policies clipped away, Charles isn’t shy about airing his grievances… and asking his fans to foot the bill. Whether you see this as a plea for help or a reluctant survival strategy, it’s a compelling — if uneasy — comeback story. So, what happens when a gifted artist fights the system while trying to keep his soul intact? Buckle up, because this saga is far from over. LEARN MORE.
Charles Hamilton Resurfaces With GoFundMe Plea as He Slams Trump and Battles for Survival
Rapper Charles Hamilton once had the makings of a Hip-Hop revolutionary. The brother was born from the promise of a now-bygone New York rap renaissance. The Harlem native showed flashes of brilliance that made many believe he was next in line. But in the internet era, silliness began to overshadow raw talent, and Hamilton’s career unraveled in real time.
His lyrical skill was never the issue and this is why we are still talking about him. Those of us at a certain age, remember when a woman he was dating punched him in the face during a filmed freestyle session. Not a good look. That spread online like wildfire and marked a turning point. As his mental health struggles became public, his once-bright trajectory dimmed, eventually fading into the abyss.
Now, years later, Hamilton has re-entered the public with a plea for help. In a series of social media posts, the rapper revealed that he’s living on government assistance (food stamps). And guess who he blamed? Donald Trump. He said Trump’s policies have discontinued his benefits.
“I’m p##### off,” he said. “My food stamps got cut off. I’m a musician. I shouldn’t have to get a job.”
The statement sparked immediate conversation online. Some sympathized. Others questioned his unwillingness to find alternative means of support–a job. Sonic has launched a GoFundMe campaign asking for financial help to keep him afloat and, in his words, allow him to continue making music. I don’t know if this should be enabled.
To this day, Hamilton retains a cult following of fans who believe in his musical gift. Whether those loyal listeners will open their wallets is yet to be seen. He’s trying to survive on his own terms. I hope Hamilton finds peace in a world where many Black men quietly endure hardship.
