As she continues to dominate polls, it appears Hillary Clinton has scored another supporter.

Award-winning rapper-actor Common recently expressed his support for the former Secretary of State when he was asked during an interview with the Grio his thoughts on 2016 frontrunners.

“I think it would be wonderful if we would get a woman in for president,” he said. “I think it could be something powerful, in that I think Hillary is more aligned with what I believe would be a better president than Donald Trump. She definitely strikes me as someone that would serve our country and the world better as a president, so that’s where I would put my vote right now.”

Common’s support for a female president comes after less enthusiasm from another rapper last week, when T.I. made sexist comments regarding Hillary Clinton's candidacy and explained why he wouldn’t vote for a woman president. He later apologized on Twitter for his "insensitive" comments.
