I guess MSNBC wasn't expecting this. Is it a trend? I don't know. Is it a thing, probably. Do Snoop Dogg and Killer Mike have any influence with their fans when it comes to voting? Who knows.
I did the math a while ago, and if I remember right it wouldn't take much of the reflexive black DFL vote to switch or not vote to put Biden in a really difficult spot this November. It's probably possible to increase the % of blacks who vote and who vote for Trump and see the same result, although it would probably take more people to achieve the same effect.
This isn't a prediction or anything else, it's just something to watch.

My wife saw a more expanded clip of this interview, and it does reflect the reality that some are waking up. With many in the black communities outraged at being displaced from various facilities because of the Dems (Biden's) open borders policy...particularly those meant for use by their kids...we could see, if not a ground swell of support for Trump, but a mass exodus from the Dem camp. That would be good. More people need to wake up to how much Dems and their supporters hate this country. And if it takes a bit of selfishness on the part of some people to reject the Dems, I'm good with that.
I definitely think it's good to see increasing numbers of black voters willing to question what they've been told since LBJ bribed the "XXXXXXX" to vote democrat for the next 200 years. I think it'll be difficult to break the conditioning, and face the social pressure to conform. But I'd argue that the best possible thing for blacks as a community (assuming the myth of a monolithic black community) is for a new generation of leaders to emerge who are willing to honestly look at all sides and make pragmatic decisions rather than do what they've always done.
The bigger issue, is that as black voters give conservatives a chance, conservatives need to step up and commit to being serious about committing to conservative policies and minimize compromise.
I'd argue that self interest isn't the same as selfishness. I'd also argue that broad economic success for blacks, or Hispanics, or Asians is not selfish at all.
