Miguel recently wore a statement t-shirt at Coachella that honors the recent passing of Nipsey Hussle while calling out Donald Trump.
On Sunday, the R&B singer shared a video of himself on Instagram wearing a shirt that reads, "How Nipsey Before Trump?"
Since then, social media users have inquired about if the t-shirt is available to purchase anywhere, as well as offered their thoughts on the shirt's message, with a handful of people in favor of it.

\u201cI think it\u2019s pure ignorance seeing @Miguel peacefully flaunting a shirt that\u2019s says \u201cHow Nipsey before Trump?\u201d Despite your views against Trump. Wishing death on another person is distasteful.\u201d— CHRIS DA SAINT \ud83c\udd70\ufe0f\ud83c\udd71\ufe0f (@CHRIS DA SAINT \ud83c\udd70\ufe0f\ud83c\udd71\ufe0f) 1555344762
Although there are a couple of variations of the shirt, the one that Miguel is wearing is similar to this one being sold by a brand called freebeforeeleven.
A public memorial service for Hussle occurred Thursday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The service included appearances from Snoop Dogg and YG, as well as Hussle’s mother. Kendrick Lamar and Jay-Z also offered tributes to the late Los Angeles rapper, writing their own letters to him.
"A true King will be tested in adversity. To stand in fearlessness in what he believes will impact on the earth, as well as in heaven," Lamar wrote. "So thank you Nipsey the Radical. Nipsey the Thinker. Nipsey the Father. Nipsey the Brother. Nipsey the Husband. Nipsey the Friend. Nipsey the Great. And from now on, Nipsey the Messenger……Shalom."
