Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about FDT. By Songfacts®.

The song title stands for "F--- Donald Trump" and was recorded by YG and Nipsey Hussle when the divisive billionaire was running for the presidency, YG told MTV News. "The goal [of that song] was to wake mother---ers up and get the youth involved in what's going on out here. Be proactive and not reactive. Make the youth get involved, make people wise up, step up and speak for the culture, and use our platform. Ain't nobody doing something like that in the rap game today. That s--t weak. Ain't no way I should have been the first one to say something about the Trump s--t."

The anti-Donald anthem allegedly ended up earning YG and Nipsey Hussle scrutiny from the Secret Service. According to YG, they threatened to pull Still Brazy off the shelves if he didn't censor his lyrics. He said: "The Secret Service hollerin' at the label, they askin' to see the lyrics on the album, see if I'm talkin' about [Donald Trump] on my album. 'Cause if I talk about him on my album, they're gonna try to take it of the shelves, you feel me?"

The track was produced by former DJ Mustard collaborator DJ Swish. He told Genius: '"FDT' was another track I had produced beforehand. One night before we went to Ace of Diamonds, YG was like, 'Aye, Swish I did a song to that one beat, it's called "F--k Donald Trump.'" In my head I was like, 'Okay this is probably a song that he's doing for fun.' I never thought this song would be popular but it fits well with the times. It's kinda like how NWA came out with 'F--k the Police.'"
