Lil Wayne made headlines after he endorsed President Donald Trump last week. Shortly thereafter it was reported that his girlfriend Denise Bidot broke up with him due to his political views. Now the plus-sized model has come forward to deny the viral claim and sources have revealed that it was in fact Wayne who dropped her for voting Democrat.
The 38-year-old hitmaker had been blissfully dating the plus-sized model for months, but sources claimed they split shortly after he revealed that he met with the Republican presidential incumbent just days before the 2020 general election on Nov. 3.

Originally it was reported that Bidot she broke things off with Wayne because of his endorsement. But the Puerto Rican and Kuwait bombshell denied the rumors in a social media post, declaring, “I did not. This is absolutely false.”
Later, in an Instagram story captured by Gossip in the City, she wrote, “Imagine being dumped over an IG post…that expressed MY political view and encouraged people to vote… It’s definitely 2020.”
Allegedly there was some tension between the couple after Bidot posted a picture endorsing Biden with the hashtag, #notrumpforme. She later posted a picture of Wayne in her story clarifying, “Let me be clear this my king. I love him.”

But that seemingly wasn’t enough to smooth things over given Wayne unfollowed her shortly thereafter. According to The Neighborhood Talk even after she removed her Biden endorsement, a source claims he kicked her out.
Wayne has yet to directly address the scandal. But he did post a cryptic message on his Twitter about love that many speculate is in reference to the break up in which he shared, “I live the way I love and love the way I live. I’m a lover not a lighter bekuz they burn out. I am an eternal fire and burning love, either leave with a tan, a 3rd degree burn, or stay and die in love. You’re sweating. Sincerely, the fireman.”
As we previously reported, this controversy all started last Thursday when the New Orleans hip-hop star shared a photo of he and Trump standing side by side as they smiled with their thumbs up.
“Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus,” wrote Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter Jr. He continued, “…besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership.”
“He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done.”
Trump later went on the record to state that Lil Wayne requested a meeting with him and also complimented him as an “activist” and “nice guy.”
