RZA on Clinton Succeeding Obama: ‘That’s a One-Two Punch’
Wu-Tang Clan's RZA Likes the Idea of Hillary as President
Robert Fitzgerald Diggs was once known around Staten Island as Prince Rakeem, but his mother named him for a man who was president (John Fitzgerald Kennedy) and another who might have been (Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy). Best known today as RZA, the Wu-Tang Clan mastermind expressed admiration for Donald Trump’s New York City bona fides—but not enough to back his White House run.
“Trump keeps it real,” RZA said in an interview on Bloomberg's With All Due Respect. But, he continued, “I think somebody like Hillary Clinton as our next president—I like that. When you think about the history and trajectory of our country, from the beginning of the founding. You know, we've seen a black man as a president, that means a lot in this country. And then, a woman as a president: to me that’s a one-two punch.”
