Mike Epps Explains Why He’s “Actually Glad” Food Stamps, Or SNAP/EBT Benefits, Got Cut Off

“See, Black people, we been getting our s**t cut off. We been getting our doors kicked in and stuff. This is not for us,” he told ‘The Breakfast Club’ hosts.

Additionally, he explained that people shouldn’t take a cut off on food stamps “personal.”
“I’m actually glad that they’re cutting some of these n****s off food stamps ’cause some of us need to not be on food stamps,” he continued, seemingly referring to the tentative changes to the program. “‘Cause it’s a trickle-down effect. You get the food stamps, then you go buy the food that gives you cancer. Then, you eat the food that gives you cancer. Then, you’re sad, you walk around here upset, your diet’s f****d up… I’m gonna tell you some honest to God truth: Your diet done sent a lot of n****s to prison.”
In turn, Charlamagne Tha God told Epps that the internet would be “mad” about his stance and call him “MAGA Mike.” In turn, Epps brushed off the potential reactions.
