Hip Hop group, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
I never thought they would somehow play a role in this runoff election:
x Yoooo what the hell is he doing?

On Friday (Nov. 18), a clip surfaced of GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker at a campaign rally doing some sort of moonwalk/pop-locking move while Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's classic elegiac song "Tha Crossroads" is playing in the background. BTNH member Krayzie Bone caught wind of the video and was not feeling Walker's dance move or the use of the group's tune. "Yoooo what the hell is he doing?" tweeted Krayzie in regards to the Herschel Walker video.
A fan noted that Bone Thugs probably didn't give Walker permission to use their song at his rally. "Mannnnnn I know this was not cleared at all big dawg [tears of joy emoji][cry laughing emoji] wth," he wrote. x Hell no it wasn’t and what the hell he doing, dancing? Smh 🤦🏾♂️

Here’s some info:
If Krayzie Bone and his groupmates decide to pursue legal action, it would not be the first time in recent years — or even in the current election cycle — that artists chose that route to distance themselves from a candidate. Earlier this week, the estate of Isaac Hayes announced that it was looking into options to prevent Donald Trump from using the late soul legend’s work in any future appearances. This came after Trump used Sam & Dave’s classic, “Hold On I’m Coming” during an event at his Mar-A-Lago estate where he announced his intention to run for president again in 2024. “Stopping a politician from using your music is not always an easy task,” the Isaac Hayes estate shared via its official Twitter account, “but we are dedicated to making sure that Donald Trump does not continue to use ‘Hold on I’m Coming’ by written by Isaac Hayes an David Porter in further rallies and public appearances.” According to Vulture, this marks no less than 22 artists and estates which have taken such action against Trump, including Rihanna, Pharrell Williams and Prince’s estate. On Thursday (November 17), Arizona Republican Kari Lake was also hit with a cease & desist by the estate of Tom Petty after using his song “I Won’t Back Down” after it was announced that her opponent Katie Hobbs was projected to win the race to become Arizona’s governor.
Meanwhile, Governor Brian Kemp (R. GA) is out on the campaign trail to try and save Walker’s ass but Warnock and Georgia Democrats aren’t having it:
