The hip hop icon revealed on Kevin Klein Live that he attended one of Donald Trump‘s parties once, and decided to leave because the indecency level was too high. He said, “Me, Mike Tyson and Eddie Murphy, we were invited to [Trump’s] mansion in West Palm Beach one time. And he had all these women running around. It was so much going on to the point that I couldn’t take what was going in that room and I left.”
Although Uncle Luke didn’t say exactly what happened at the party, he did state that none of it was suitable for discussion on the radio, adding, “It was some wild things going on. It was some things I can’t even say over this radio.”
The Miami rapper called Trump out earlier this following his controversial statements about groping women. He claims that many of Trump’s supporters are the same people who deemed 2 Live Crew’s music to be “obscene” over 25 years ago.
