West Coast rapper YG has stepped forward to speak out on his “F*ck Donald Trump” music video shoot recently getting shut down by California law enforcement.

According to YG, the message behind his politically-motivated song outweighed the consequences.

“We speaking for a lot of people who are not really speaking up or they got nobody in no situation that’s really gonna put it all on the line for they race [and] they culture,” he says. “We feel a similar way everybody else feels. We just took it on the chest. Like, ‘Look, This is what we about to do. We gonna speak on it.’ F*ck whatever consequences and all of that. We gonna deal with it.” (Complex)

Earlier this month, YG and fellow rapper Nipsey Hussle caught heat from police during their music video shoot.

The music video was for their song, “F**k Donald Trump” — so that explains the chants — but LAPD clearly thought things were getting out of control. Witnesses tell us about 100 people fell in behind the rappers while they shot the video Sunday in South L.A. Cops responded in riot gear … and quickly shut down the shoot. Law enforcement sources tell us the officers were responding to a call for cars cruising the streets and the crowd that had gathered to watch. We’re told LAPD had no idea it was a music video shoot.

Video clips from the production set surfaced across social media.

Both Nipsey and YG promoted their new politically-charged song on social media a few weeks ago.
