With polls showing the 2024 presidential election tightening as it entered the final two weeks of campaigning, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are looking for votes everywhere. But as The Daily Show reported in a segment this week, one underserved potential voting block may be spoken for after Insane Clown Posse‘s frontman Violent J seemingly endorsed the VP while being interviewed for a parody segment.

Violent J, whose real name is Joseph Frank Bruce, is perhaps the most influential figure in the community of Juggalos — the loosely associated fans of rap-rock group Icp and the other bands on their record label, Psychopathic Records, and acts in the horrorcore genre. Largely Midwestern and rural, Juggalos have developed their own set of traditions and modes of expression, including face painting, drinking the affordable soft drink Faygo and a tongue-in-cheek obsession with murder.

Their annual festival, The Gathering of the Juggalos,...

In what surely comes as a heartbreaking disappointment to Donald Trump, Insane Clown Posse’s Violent J has endorsed Kamala Harris for president.

Speaking with comedian Troy Iwata for a recent segment on The Daily Show, Violent J confirmed that Harris is his preferred pick for the White House, saying “I want her to win because she’s a Democrat, and I love my mom.”

Elsewhere in the interview, he learned how to pronounce Harris’ first name — calling it “fresh” — and weighed in on a number of hot-topic issues, like mass deportation, which he said “fuck no” to. “Now I remember why I hated Trump, that wall shit,” he said.

As for women’s rights, he believes in them (“they have the right to be the fuckin’ shit”), and as for environmental conservation, he thinks its time humans get over their superiority complex, saying,...

Insane Clown Posse’s Violent J is the subject of the latest episode of the online reality show about unconventional couples, Love Don’t Judge. The reason he’s on the show? His relationship with his new girlfriend: Sarah Russi, an OnlyFans content creator who’s 21 years his junior.

The episode explains how Violent J — who’s 51 years old — met Russi online as a fan, leading to the two to begin their controversial love affair. “I was on Instagram, flipping through — every time I’d see a hottie, I’d hit follow,” he explained in the episode. “She’s, like, one of my top two favorite hotties.” Eventually, Violent J slid in Russi’s DMs, and one thing led to another. “I just put my claim on it,” he said. “I was like, ‘Ah, this is my new real estate, I’m moving the fuck in.’”

Since then, the couple...

A million Juggalos can’t be wrong… Get ready for The United States of Insanity, the outrageous first amendment rights documentary featuring Insane Clown Posse’s Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, and their one million die-hard fans (Juggalos) that were classified as a gang organization by the FBI. After its Fantastic Fest World Premiere and limited theatrical run, the film has now […]...

Featuring, perhaps, the most serious discussion of first amendment rights from two grown men in clown makeup, “The United States of Insanity” dares you to laugh at the absurdity of Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope’s oddly-loved Insane Clown Posse before diving headfirst into a lengthy, and occasionally heady, conversation regarding the power structures behind who is allowed to dictate musical taste and the ways in which the government attempts to act as cultural curators.

The deal for the documentary, about the rap group Insane Clown Posse and its die-hard fans — known as Juggalos — fighting back against the fans being classified as a gang organization by the FBI a decade ago, comes as the feature is readying for its world premiere at Fantastic Fest.

Directed by Directed by Tom Putnam & Brenna Sanchez (Burn), the film centers on Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, the rappers who make up “the World’s Most Hated Band,” who find themselves as unwitting warriors for the First Amendment. With the help of the ACLU, which filed a federal lawsuit against the FBI, the band fights to uncover the reasons behind the designation and to be removed from the gang list as their fans begin losing their jobs,...

Insane Clown Posse will take to the road for one final tour, the group recently announced. The farewell tour came about after Joseph Bruce, known as Violent J, revealed that he has been diagnosed with a heart condition.

Insane Clown Posse will embark on one last Faygo-spraying tour together in 2022. During the annual Gathering of the Juggalos event at Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio, Icp's Violent J made the announcement that the rap duo will retire from touring after next year due to ongoing concerns about his health. While Insane Clown Posse will no longer tour in the trandtional way, he adds that he and Shaggy 2 Dope will continue to perform at one-off shows along with releasing new music.

"I want to make it clear, making music is not affected in any way, shape or form by anything going on with Shaggy or myself health-wise," said Violent J The 49-year-old also explained how he came to make the decision, first learning of his heart problems after getting "winded" from taking the 40-foot walk from his house to his studio. A subsequent ultrasound then brought about the bad news.

Violent J, one half of the musical circus better known as the Insane Clown Posse, says the band’s touring days are coming to an end. Speaking to a crowd of fans at this year’s Gathering Of The Juggalos, Violent J revealed that the group’s next tour would be their last due to his ongoing heart issues. However, this…...

At last weekend’s Gathering of the Juggalos, Insane Clown Posse’s Violent J revealed that he is suffering from heart problems and, as a result, the hip-hop duo will retire from touring — but not playing live altogether — after a farewell trek next year.

Violent J announced that he’s suffering from the more serious form of Atrial Fibrillation (otherwise known as a-fib), which causes the heart’s upper and lower chambers to beat irregularly and out of sync with each other. He said he first noticed something was wrong...

Insane Clown Posse, Danny Brown, and Kid N Play lead the very eclectic lineup set to perform at the 2021 Gathering of the Juggalos, invading Thornville, Ohio’s Legend Valley on August 19th to 21st.

The 21st annual Gathering — returning after Covid canceled the 2020 fest — will also welcome dignitaries to the stage like Steve-o, Vanilla Ice, and To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen, who will serve as host of the Friday night festivities.

In addition to plenty of Faygo, the lineup for the fest also includes Big Hoodoo, R.A.

Jerome Young, the former pro wrestler known to wrestling fans worldwide as the hardcore wrestler New Jack, has passed away. Per PWInsider, Young's wife Jennifer revealed that the former Ecw star died on Friday following a heart attack at his home in North Carolina. He was 58 years old at the time of his passing.

"With his fierce, competitive style, New Jack was well-known for pushing the limits of hardcore wrestling to their furthest extremes," a statement from WWE reads. "Young broke into the sports-entertainment circuit with the Memphis-based United States Wrestling Association in 1992. Upon arrival in the Smoky Mountain Wrestling promotion, New Jack teamed with Mustafa Saed to form The Gangstas tag team."

As one half of The Gangstas, New Jack made his debut in EC in 1995, and due to the extreme style of the company, this was where the hardcore wrestler flourished the most. The Gangstas' feud with Public...

Former To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen has joined forces with the controversial rappers known as the Insane Clown Posse to take on a common enemy, and despite how crazy 2020 has already been so far, the collaboration still seems a bit bizarre. After busting hundreds of alleged sexual predators shows like To Catch a Predator and Hansen vs. Predator, Hansen now hosts his own YouTube web show which sees him speaking with various special guests. This month, Hansen chatted with Icp's Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, and the conversation even ended with Hansen claiming that he was "proud to be a Juggalo."

It might seem that Chris Hansen and a pair of face-painted rappers wouldn't have much in common, but both sides are in complete agreement that accused predator Dahvie Vanity needs to go down. Known for forming the electronic music group Blood on the Dance Floor, Vanity...

The Family trailer is here and it pits Orange Is the New Black actress Taylor Schilling up against some pretty rowdy Juggalos. Though they aren't featured in the trailer, Insane Clown Posse members Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J have cameos in the movie, which should be exciting for the real-life Juggalos out there. And while it's a bummer that the two iconic rappers aren't in the trailer, it's worth watching to see Schilling take a 3 liter bottle of Faygo to the dome. Even without the Insane Clown Posse references, Family looks like a pretty strong babysitting movie in the vein of Uncle Buck with a hint of Role Models.

Family focuses on Taylor Schilling as a workaholic hedge fund executive who must watch her 12-year old niece for an extended amount of time. The socially awkward niece runs away to become a Juggalo, a super fan of the group Insane Clown Posse,...

Back in January, the controversial "horrorcore" rap group Insane Clown Posse announced a September march on Washington, to officially protest the findings from a 2011 FBI report that classified the group's hardcore fans, known as Juggalos, as a "gang." Yesterday, the The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit threw out a 2014 lawsuit filed by Icp members Joseph "Violent J" Bruce and Joseph "Shaggy 2 Dope" Utler, which claimed the FBI report violated their constitutional rights. However, the appeals court ruled that the FBI's decision to label the Juggalos as a gang wasn't a "final agency action," meaning it was never part of an official law, and therefore could not be contested in court.

Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope claimed in their lawsuit that the distinction of the Juggalos as a gang caused one venue to cancel one of their live concerts, at the behest of law enforcement. They were...

Cancel that celebratory Faygo toast, Juggalo Nation. Rap duo Insane Clown Posse have once again been shot down in their legal battle with the Department of Justice and the FBI over the designation of Juggalos — as their fans call themselves — as a gang. A report from the Ngrc stated that “many Juggalo subsets exhibit gang-like behavior and engage in criminal activity and violence.” Icp members Joseph Bruce (aka Violent J) and Joseph Utsler (Icp name: Shaggy 2 Dope) took up a legal battle with the government agencies after the National Gang Intelligence Center designated Juggalos as “a loosely organized hybrid...

Samantha Bee found constitutional enlightenment beneath the gleaming painted smile of the Insane Clown Posse on Full Frontal Wednesday.

In a segment focused on recent free speech issues, Bee looked at the Juggalo March, which Icp held in protest of the FBI's decision to label them "a loosely organized hybrid gang" in 2011. The designation has had real consequences for fans, one of whom said she lost physical custody of her kids because she went to an Icp concert.

Six days ago, the historic Women's March on Washington took place in the nation's capitol. Millions of women marched in numerous cities around the country, just one day after the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump. Today we have word that a much different march on Washington is being set up this fall by the controversial "horrorcore" rap group Insane Clown Posse, at the National Mall in Washington D.C. The march is set for September 16, 2017, with the group asking its loyal fans known as "Juggalos" to come out in full force, to protest a 2011 FBI report that classified the "Juggalos" as a "gang."

The march was first announced at the annual Gathering of Juggalos last year, but now a date has been announced and an official website launched at JuggaloMarch.com. The website includes a lengthy statement from Icp, which is comprised of rappers Joseph "Violent J" Bruce...

A rep for Icp tells us the fight started when a fan wouldn't stop chucking plastic, unopened bottles of Faygo onstage towards the band at their show a couple of weeks back.

World Championship Wrestling has been dead and buried for nigh on fifteen years now, and its corpse has been mined repeatedly for DVD sets, retro t-shirts, and premium video game Dlc.

WWE has never been afraid to tell us about their departed rival, but their version of WCW history is skewed to say the least. We hear about Goldberg, the nWo, and maybe the cruiserweights, because that’s what WCW was doing during the period they were beating WWE, but there’s literal decades of strange, wonderful wrestling that barely rates a mention according to them.

This list goes beyond the obvious, and well as outside WCW’s most successful periods, to paint a more accurate portrait of what was once one of the greatest promotions on Earth.

Nearly a year and a half after announcing plans to sue, the Insane Clown Posse has officially filed a lawsuit against the FBI for allegedly violating their rights of free expression and association and due process. In the filing submitted today by Icp members Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, along with four other Juggalos, the group claims the FBI falsely categorized the band and its followers as a "loosely affiliated hybrid gang" in its 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment. The band is represented by the Aclu, and we would like to float the idea now that Matthew McConaughey portray their lawyer in the big-screen adaptation of the trial.

They’re no strangers to controversy and it seems Insane Clown Posse's antics over the years have garnered the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department.

Violent J (Joseph Bruce) and Shaggy 2 Dope (Joseph William Utsler) have joined forces with four of their biggest fans to file a lawsuit against the FBI and Department of Justice for violating their constitutional rights by classifying their Juggalo following as a gang.

Mr. J explained, “It’s time for the FBI to come to its senses and recognize that Juggalos are not a gang but a worldwide family united by the love of music.

“There has never been — and will never be — a music fan base quite like Juggalos, and while it is easy to fear what one does not understand, discrimination and bigotry against any group of people is just plain wrong and un-American.”

New York — They are the self-proclaimed "Most Hated Band in the World," and now they're bringing their own theater of the absurd to the Fuse Network with the aptly titled "Insane Clown Posse Theater."

For 24 years, Joseph Bruce and Joseph Utsler have taken on the persona of wicked clowns, transforming themselves into their alter egos, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope.

On their weekly forum, the Detroit-area rappers critique all things pop culture, claiming to bring an outsider's perspective "as people not involved with pop culture." A good part of the show has the guys critiquing music videos, much like Beavis and Butthead from a generation ago.

"Maybe this is conceited, but I don't care," Bruce said. "This is what we believe right here. Nobody is qualified to do something like this as Icp because Icp is the only group in the position in the history of rock `n' roll...

At this year's Gathering of the Juggalos, the annual festival for fans of Detroit's Insane Clown Posse (you may be familiar with the infamous YouTube promotional machine), the group promised via tweet that they'd be making "the biggest announcement of our career." That announcement, made on Thursday to a tent holding over a thousand Juggalos and Juggalettes, was that Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope will be suing the FBI for classifying their fans — the very Juggalos and Juggalettes in attendance — as a "'loosely organized hybrid gang' in its National Gang Threat Assessment," according to Spin. "As Icp's lawyer, friend, and longtime Juggalo, Ryan Farris said, 'This is a family of love, this ain't no organized crime family.'"Many fans in attendance reacted to the announcement with cries of "family!" and tears of joy, because, along with challenging the FBI (with the help of their lawyer), Icp has set...

Horrorcore hip hop duo Insane Clown Posse has declared that they would be suing the FBI for classifying their devoted fanbase--known as "Juggalos"--as a gang in the 2011 National Gang Assessment.

Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope made the announcement at the 2012 Gathering of the Juggalos on August 9, Spin reports.

The rappers said they would go through with the lawsuit ""no matter what it costs or what it takes," eliciting cheering, cheers of "Family," and even some crying.

The "Juggalos" are best known for their elaborate, clownish make-up and annual "Gathering of the Juggalos" celebration.

The FBI maintains, however, that subsets of the Juggalos "exhibit gang-like behavior and engage in criminal activity in violence," according to a 2011 report.

The FBI classifies the Juggalos as a "loosely-organized hybrid gang."

The report defines a hybrid gang as being a "non-traditional gang with multiple affiliations," and notes that most crimes committed by Juggalos "involve simple assault,...

Fire, low riders, fast food, wrestling and Faygo? It must be time for another Insane Clown Posse album. The Detroit rap duo's latest album "The Mighty Death Pop" arrives in stores in August, and it sounds as inescapable as the apocalypse. Violent J. and Shaggy 2 Dope announced the album with a typically bombastic infomercial featuring all of your favorite things. But, unless you're a hardcore Juggalo (or a "Saturday Night Live" writer), good luck sitting through the whole 18 minutes.

Here are a few things we learned this week on the web: If you dress your kid in cute moccasins and your last name is Kardashian, you can offer “advice” to moms on the Internet; the guys of Insane Clown Posse are good sports, except when it comes to a dude kissing them; and Saturday Night Live‘s Christine Nangle wants to have your baby.

Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, a.k.a, rap-metal duo Insane Clown Posse, are the latest guests to get up close and personal with "Saturday Night Live" writer Mike O'Brien on "7 Minutes In Heaven."

They cover it all in the interview -- lyrics, calorie counting, parenting -- so you're sure to get a well-rounded view of the dudes behind that crazy juggalo makeup. And as always, O'Brien tries to finish things off with a casual makeout sesh.

We won't spoil it for you and tell you how that works out, though.

There's awkward, and then there's "Insane Clown Posse on Seven Minutes in Heaven awkward." The duo stopped by Mike O'Brien's interview-in-a-closet series recently and boy oh boy was it a trainwreck. The guys respond pretty seriously to a bunch of O'Brien's rapid-fire, jokey questions — why yes, they are overprotective fathers and they're not that insane — and then make a bit in which Violent J is a parent complaining about Insane Clown Posse lyrics less humorous than it is uncomfortably believable. Oh, and the attempted kiss at the end? Yeesh. On top of it being a little homophobic, the situation is also tenser than every single moment on "Between Two Ferns" combined. All Icp awkwardness aside, though, Mike O'Brien is pretty funny, so you all should probably hurry up and log onto Internet.com if you want him [...]...

In an annual report on gang trends known as the National Gang Threat Assessment, the FBI has stated that the Insane Clown Posse fans known as juggalos — or juggalettes, if you have a uterus and really, really love to drink Faygo — pose a threat to national security by engaging in "gang-like criminal activity, such as felony assaults, thefts, robberies, and drug sales." The fans of the Detroit rap group are notorious for wearing clown face paint, as well as for the annual Gathering of the Juggalos convention, which, for the uninitiated, is like Woodstock with wet T-shirt contests and wrestling in lamb's blood. Although Juggalos have been accused of criminal behavior in the past, with police departments in Utah, California, and New Mexico classifying them as gangs, most Juggalos deny any connection to gang activity, and Icp members Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope have spoken out [...]...

Icp team up with former White Stripes frontman to cover a Mozart canon — much to the consternation of White's fans.

It was the biggest (and decidedly Wtf-est) news to hit in the post-"Beyoncé is preggers!" era: Jack White, revered retroist, songwriter and producer, had teamed up with the Insane Clown Posse, best known for wearing face paint and spraying Faygo everywhere, to cover a lesser-known Mozart canon, the title of which, literally, translates to "Lick me in the arse."

Yeah. In fact, the collaboration seemed so odd that most thought it was nothing more than an elaborate hoax. Only it wasn't — and the proof exists on White's Third Man Records' website, where the full version of "Lech Mich Im Arsch" can be heard in all its, uh, glory. And if this whole thing leaves you feeling a bit puzzled, well,...
