Democratic Presidential candidate entrepreneur Tom Steyer dances onstage with rapper Juvenile singing “Back That Azz Up” during his Get Out the Vote rally in Columbia, South Carolina, U.S., on February 28, 2020. “Come on sound man, you’re getting worse by the second,” the rapper complained, the Daily Mail reported. “I think the sound man went to the bar!”
Juvenile then left the stage and Adams, a gospel singer, took his place.
The rapper returned after Steyer’s headlining speech and busted out his hit with Steyer and his wife and daughter joining him on stage.
Steyer’s campaign embraced the viral moment and tweeted out a portion of the video reminding voters to head to the polls with the hashtag #BackThatVoteUp.
Steyer, who has been heavily courting black voters, is optimistic of a good result in South Carolina.

Steyer told Fox News on Friday how he viewed his chances.
“We have a very good team here. I’ve spent a lot of time on the ground and I’m talking straightforwardly about issues,” he said. “This is a heavily African-American state. I talk very straightforwardly about race. I’m the only person talking about reparations for slavery. I think I’ve been here the most and looked most people in the eye and talked most straightforwardly and I think that’s why.”
Asked how a solid finish in South Carolina would help him in the Super Tuesday states, Steyer said, “I think that’s a springboard for people to think that I can pull this party together, which is what I want.”

South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Trav Robertson gave Steyer credit.
“It appears he resonates very well. He’s very personable,” Robertson said. “I’m not going to be surprised if Steyer wins a delegate or two.”
And he predicted that if Steyer does well, it would take a bite out of Biden’s support among older black voters.
