Vice President Kamala Harris spoke with Fat Joe and Too Short during the BET Hip-Hop Awards to spread her message to Black voters.
The two rap legends interviewed the Democratic nominee about her plans to impact the Black community.
When asked about why voting matters, Harris responded strongly about the importance of engaging in the process.
“There’s a lot of misinformation out there that would suggest to people that their vote doesn’t matter,” Harris said. “As far as I’m concerned, you should never let anybody silence you because when you vote, you actually have the ability to determine the future of our country.”

“When you tell people that they can’t trust the system, what are they likely to do? Not participate,” she continued. “That’s why I always say don’t ever let anybody take you out of the game. That’s the first step toward never being able to make a difference.”
She also spoke about the dangers of another Donald Trump presidency and how Project 2025 would have devastating results for the country.
“They came up with a plan for Donald Trump if he wins again,” she said. “So, I encourage everybody to Google it. It’s an 800-, 900-page document. They published it [and] gave it out. It would do things like eliminate overtime pay and would get rid of the Department of Education, including Head Start,” Harris explained. “It would do the work of trying to destroy our democracy and really work against middle-class folks. So this is a man who’ll posture like, ‘Hey, support me because I’m tough and strong,’ but he’s weak.”
With less than 20 days before Election Day, Fat Joe said the conversation with Harris was critical for the hip-hop community.
“This is about more than just music—it’s about using our platforms to uplift the community and make sure we’re all informed, educated, and empowered to make real change,” Joe said
“Our culture has always been a movement. Having this conversation with the Vice President shows that hip hop can influence the future, not just in music, but in policy and progress,” Too Short added.
