Last month, Sexyy Red distanced herself from any affiliation with Trump after catching backlash for performing with a giant MAGA hat during her set at the 2024 Roots Picnic. While the hat did read âMake America Sexyy Againâ as opposed to Trumpâs signature phrase, many fans werenât feeling her seemingly endorsing the controversial figure.
âItâs Sexyy Red 4 President [American flag emoji] Iâm my own candidate Iâm not endorsing anybody period [kiss emoji],â she wrote on X the following day.

Back in October, Sexyy Red talked about her affinity for Trump during an interview on comedian Theo Vonâs This Past Weekend podcast. She claimed that the hood loves Trump due to him freeing Black people from prison and providing stimulus checks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
âI like Trump,â she said. âYeah, they support him in the hood. At first I donât think people was fucking with him. They thought he was racist, saying little shit against women.

âBut once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people that free money. Aww baby, we love Trump. We need him back in office. We need him back because, baby, them checks. Them stimulus checks. Trump, we miss you.â
She added: âI love Trump. He funny to me. I used to be watching him talking to people. He used to be calling people fat. He just bold. He funny. We need people like him.â
The response on social media wasnât great, considering Trumpâs presidency was plagued by accusations of racism, misogyny and election interference.
âClearly some people donât know how the stimulus checks worked, whoâs money it actually was/is and how it go distributed⌠People believe anything,â Hot 97 and Apple Musicâs Ebro Darden wrote on X.
