Diddy, bekennender Obama Fan/Anhänger/Jünger, stand 100 prozentig hinter der gestrigen Rede und unterstütze den Plan mit folgenden Aussagen bei Twitter: „Turn on your tv or radio and listen to the presidents speech!!! If not for you for your kids or future kids!!! Retweet pls Breaking news!!! : There is an outbreak of b*tcha**ness in congress!!! #B*TCHA**NESS let’s go people!!!! Retweet this to congress!!! Let’s goooooo!!! RT @dreamhampton: What if Barack stopped speaking, walked over & slapped the sh*t out of @CongJoeWilson ‚Say something now b*tch!‘ I’m kinda mad how disrespectful they were to our president. 4real. Not feeling it.“
Talib Kweli antwortete darauf mit einem Vergleich zum vorherigen Staatsoberhaupt George W. Bush: „After last night, yall still wanna say this hate from the GOP at racism? GW got far more respect. Even from naysayers. And he was way worse. (Well except for that shoe thing, but not addressing CONGRESS) Obama should have took off his shoes and thrown them at Joe Wilson.“
Questlove wiederum zeigte sich eher weniger beeindruckt: „D*mn these long a** rehearsals missed Obama’s speech. Thoughts? he got heckled! (?!) what gave you that hunch? The clue of me saying, ‚I missed the Obama speech?'“
“Yes We Can“ sorgt also auch im Rapbiz für Gesprächsstoff.
