GA Congresswoman Nikema Williams on how Lil Jon happened to be at the DNC

  • Summary

  • Congresswoman Nikema Williams (D-GA) tells Audacy Atlanta's Maria Boynton how popular rapper Lil' Jon just happened to be at the Democratic National Convention repping the Georgia delegation Tuesday night.

    The Atlanta artist brought the crowd inside Chicago's United Center Stadium to its feet when he appeared during the ceremonial roll call of states at the convention. When the announcer asked Georgia how it would cast its votes, Lil Jon appeared in the stands as music from his "Turn Down For What?" played. He changed the words to "DNC, turn down for what?" He walked throughout the crowd telling everyone to "get your hands up." The rapper then joined Williams (in pink suit), who with Georgia members Senator Raphael Warnock, and Rep. Sanford Bishop by her side, announced that Georgia was casting all 123 of its votes for VP Kamala Harris.

    Williams, who is also Chair of the Georgia Democratic Party, explains that the rapper was initially in Chicago to attend a party she'd thrown on opening night for the Georgia delegation.

    She goes on to talk about the excitement surrounding the DNC, the vast support received, and the significance of former Georgia Lt Governor Geoff Duncan, a Republican, being scheduled to speak at the DNC on Day 3, Wednesday.
