A pro-Trump rap group has released a single called “Boycott Target,” which has accumulated nearly three million views and shot to #6 on the iTunes Charts shortly after its release on Friday.
Forgiato Blow, Jimmy Levy, Nick Nittoli, and Stoney Dudebro created the hit song, boasting lyrics about retail giant Target “targeting” children with sexualized and Satanic products.
“There’s a cleanup on every aisle/Target is targetin’ your kids,” the song’s lyrics begin. “This agenda’s gotta stop, they know we gonna win.”
“Target, Target, yeah they targetin’/Target, Target, yeah they target kids,” the song continues, adding lyrics about the LGBT agenda going “too far.”
Interestingly, the video for the tune appears to have been shot at a Target store.
“Patriots We Are Currently #6 On iTunes Let’s Get #BoycottTarget To #1,” Forgiato Blow posted on his Twitter account Friday.

The song and the group were both promoted by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
“American Conservatives are once again showing who has the real buying power,” she said. “It’s not the woke mob, they only bully and riot.”

“There is now a rap song about the Target Boycott. It’s not just an online movement anymore — it’s fully enmeshed in culture,” added Rogan O’Handley, a.k.a. D.C. Draino. “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 received backlash when users on social media highlighted the availability of swimsuits with features like “tuck-friendly” and “extra crotch coverage” for women.
In response to the controversy, Target took action by removing certain products from its stores. This reportedly included a sweater with the message “cure transphobia not trans people” and a tote bag stating “too queer for here.”
In just one week, Target’s stock price experienced a significant decline, dropping from $152.28 on May 19 to $139.39 on May 25. That represents an 8.5% decrease in value. Additionally, the company’s market capitalization, which reflects the total value of its outstanding shares, decreased from $70.4 billion to $64.4 billion during the same period.
