Although President Obama received a lot of support from various rappers and pop stars, ATLien Big Boi was not one of them, he recently revealed.

In an interview with Huff Post Live, Big Boi shares a time when someone assumed he support President Obama in 2012.

Big Boi recalled, "Well, I was, you know, leaving to go out of town, and it was a lady -- a Caucasian lady -- and she was like, 'Oh yeah, congratulations on y'all win last night,' you know, with like an attitude." He continued, "And, you know, just to let her know I was on my P's and Q's, I was like, 'I don't know what you talkin' bout, I voted for Gary Johnson.' And she looked shocked to even know that I knew there were other candidates on the ballot, you know what I’m saying? So, you can't judge a book by its cover."

Big Boi also explained his political point of view as a Libertarian.

"I’m a Libertarian. I’m liberty, justice for all, liberty for all. I’m really pro-people, pro-freedom, and, you know, this is all about positivity. Like, you know, I have nothing against the president at all, you know, he's a nice guy, but, it’s just, you know, the things that they're standing on right now just didn't agree with me. Anything that benefits the public and not just big banking, that's what I'm with."
