Ricky Rebel's YMCA 'MAGA' Parody

Ricky Rebel, a former boy band member, is a Billboard Top 40 recording artist who has toured with Britney Spears, sharing the stage with Kesha, Mya, Patti Labelle and Colbie Caillat, while voicing his support for President Donald Trump.



Rebel, joined by some of his close friends, worked together to create a 'MAGA' (Make America Great Again) focused music video in support of Trump for the upcoming election. 'Make America Great Again' is a campaign slogan, which is used in American politics, and was popularized by Donald Trump in his successful 2016 presidential campaign. Ronald Reagan used the similar slogan, "Let's make America great again" in his successful 1980 presidential campaign.


Check out the MAGA music video that has reached over 2M views.



Rebel posted another video that same week, that has since reached over 5M views. He wrote on his Facebook page, "On AUG 22, 2020, a violent #BlackLivesMatter mob swarmed the Trump Unity Bridge in Beverly Hills. The Trump Unity Bridge responded to #BLM with a DANCE OFF to their unifying theme song MAGA / YMCA!"


Supporters on both sides of the isle claim the violence was sparked by the other. Democrats protest for change in police brutality, chanting the words "Black Lives Matter," while Republicans respond "All Lives Matter." In times of undeniable social injustices, Rebel is sticking by Trump and his administration.
