After securing 295 Electoral College votes, Donald Trump defeated his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, who secured 226 votes, in last night's U.S. presidential election.
Marking his second and final term in office, Trump becomes the second US president in history, after Grover Cleveland, to serve two non-consecutive terms, having previously lost re-election in 2020. He will be sworn into office on January 20, 2025, becoming the nation's 47th president, replacing Joe Biden.
In the early hours of November 06, Republican candidate Donald Trump was announced as the winner of the 2024 US Presidential Election, resulting in several celebrities, media personalities and social media users taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share their opinions on the result.
Among the many reactions, A-list hip-hop stars were found sharing their views on the result, with many publications like CNBC referring to the 2024 Presidential Election as a "landslide win" for the Republican candidate.
Popular hip-hop artists who've commented on the results of the US Presidential election include Cardi B and Denzel Curry, who expressed their disappointment with Donald Trump's victory last night.

When will Donald Trump be sworn into office? Timeline explained as Republican party secures win in the 2024 US Presidential Election
According to CNBC, Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States of America on January 20, 2025.
The US Congress will reportedly validate the results of this election on January 06, before an official inauguration ceremony for the president-elect is held two weeks later.
CBS News reported that the presidential inauguration is set to be held two and a half months after the elections, as specified by the Constitution's 20th Amendment, post which Donald Trump will immediately move into the White House.
According to the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, Donald Trump's inauguration will begin with a procession to the Capitol, followed by the Vice President reciting his oath of office.
Trump, much like former presidents, will then address the gathering and the nation by outlining his vision and goals for the next four years. Following his speech, President Joe Biden is reported to make an honorary departure from the Capitol, while Donald Trump signs this term's first official actions in office.
While reactions to Donald Trump's victory continue to fuel debates online, Lil Pump's recent tweets included allegations against Taylor Swift and Eminem.
The Gucci Gang rapper suggested that they were compensated for publicly supporting Kamala Harris, although no evidence was provided for these claims.
