(Central News Agency, New York, June 6, Comprehensive Foreign Reports) Republican candidate Anthony Constantino, who recorded a rap song to pay tribute to U.S. President Trump and called for the release of notorious hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, won the election for the U.S. House of Representatives today.

American media announced that the 44-year-old Constantino won the 21st District of New York state after a fierce competition with his Democratic opponent Blake Gendebien.

Agence France-Presse reported that Constantino declared victory on his own as early as the night of the election. In a vulgar speech, he denounced the "evil media" and kicked a television team out of the venue.

"I think President Trump should consider releasing Diddy. He is a representative figure who has made significant contributions to the state of New York," he said.

Puff Daddy, who is well known in the music industry, was sentenced to more than 4 years in prison in 2025 for prostitution-related crimes.

Constantino first attracted attention in 2024 when he installed a huge illuminated sign on the roof of the sticker company building that read "Vote for Trump."

He released an album this year called "Thank You President Trump," which includes a number of songs inspired by Trump's slogans, his book "The Art of the Deal," and his love of golf, such as "Hole in One."
