A pro-Trump rap group’s new song, “Boycott Target,” just exploded online. Since its release, it has racked up millions of views and managed to climb to the number 6 spot on the iTunes Charts.In the song, rappers Forgiato Blow, Jimmy Levy, Nick Nittoli, and Stoney Dudebro attack retail giant Target for “targeting” your children with Satanic and sexualized goods.
Those lyrics are in reference to Target’s recent “Pride” apparel decision. It both sold a women’s swimsuit advertised as being “tuck-friendly” and having “extra crotch room,” and had numerous pieces of apparel designed by a Satanist trans person.
Watch the music video, which has so far garnered about 3.6 million views on one Twitter post alone, here:

“There’s a cleanup on every aisle/Target is targetin’ your kids. This agenda’s gotta stop, they know we gonna win,” the song begins. “Target, Target, yeah they targetin’/Target, Target, yeah they target kids,” the song continues.
Commenting on the song, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said, “American Conservatives are once again showing who has the real buying power. It’s not the woke mob, they only bully and riot.”
Similarly, conservative influencer Rogan O’Handley, known on Twitter as “D.C. Draino,” said, “There is now a rap song about the Target Boycott. It’s not just an online movement anymore — it’s fully enmeshed in culture. And Target’s stock price is at its lowest point in a year and falling fast. When will these Woke companies learn? LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE.”
Target’s stock price has fallen dramatically since furor over the swimsuits first rose. In fact, over the course of just a week, Target’s stock price declined from $160.96 to $141.76, as the New York Post reported, saying:
A week ago Wednesday before the controversy erupted, Target’s stock closed at $160.96 a share, giving the big-box chain a market capitalization of $74.3 billion.
As of early trading on Thursday, however, shares of the company were trading off 1% at $141.76 — capping a weeklong tumble that has shrunk the “cheap chic” discount retailer’s value to $65.3 billion.
That amounts to a 12% drop that has shaved a whopping $9 billion off the company’s market capitalization.
Commenting on the swimsuit at issue and what it represents, Oli London, author of “Gender Madness” and a frequent commenter on such issues, said:
“Target is just the latest brand that has gone woke and made an ill-fated decision to alienate its customer base by pushing gender ideology into the faces of consumers. Only 0.6% of the population identify as trans so why is Target pushing these swimwear costumes with ‘tuck friendly’ designs and selling them in prime locations in their stores? The majority of men and Target customers do not want to ‘tuck’ their penis into a women’s swimming costume. I’m sure most men would find this uncomfortable and emasculating to say the very least.”
The budding Target boycott comes alongside a surprisingly effective boycott of Bud Light, which has punished that brand and led to severe drops in sales volume and a declining stock price for Anheuser Busch, the Bud Light parent company. It remains to be seen if the Target boycott will prove as effective.
