Rapper Sexxy Red Sparks Rage After Declaring 'Love' For Donald Trump

Sexxy Red's love for Donald Trump has landed her in social media hot waters!

Several critics lashed out at the rapper after she expressed her desire to see the former U.S. President back in office during a recent podcast appearance. The clapback comes nearly three months after the viral sensation struck a snug pose with rapper Drake.

Red, real name Janae Nierah Wherry, appeared on comedian Theo Von's "This Past Weekend" podcast. While there, they covered topics like her journey to fame, personal losses, and her support for the Republican Party.

The pair also discussed the "Ah Thousand Jugs" hitmaker's thoughts on embattled former president Trump and his potential White House run in 2024, with Von asking, "Do you think more people are going to support Trump now in the hood?"

"I like Trump, yeah, they support him in the hood. At first, I don't think people was f—— with him like they thought he was racist, saying little s—, and you know, against women," she began before adding, "But once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people their free money. Oh, baby we love Trump, we need him back in office."

After the host agreed that "a little bit of free money goes a long way," the 25-year-old expressed that she enjoyed watching Trump's interactions with people and interviews, calling him "bold" and "funny." The controversial take, which also saw her asserting that "we need people like him," soon found its way to social media when a video of the interaction surfaced on X.

Users of the app, formerly known as Twitter, soon aired their opinions, with one person claiming, "Finding out sexxy red is a trump supporter….this is the worst day of my life." Another warned, "Stop putting that sexxy red liking Trump s— on my TL. I would like to remain ignorant."

"OK, I know y'all's first reaction is to jump down Red's throat, but consider the exploitative nature of this convo. Who TF is seriously asking Sexxy Red for political analysis? So then what is the purpose? For ppl like me and you to point, laugh, and be mad at the ill informed BW," a third individual objectively explained.

A fourth responder penned, "Y'all are going to continue supporting sexxy red despite the trump comments even tho the Republicans are attempting to delete rights, even tho that man is responsible for thousands of covid death, even tho he helped reinvigorate white supremacy." 

A fifth commenter added that even though Republicans are "attempting to disenfranchise Black Voters, banning Black People's poems (Amanda Gorman) while trying to sell an upside to Slavery," Red "(who has a huge fan base) thinks we should put Trump back in office? Girl, they about to drag you."

A sixth cybernaut observed that Trump would "be voted back in" because all people see is "free money and freeing kneegrows who can't stay out of jail," concluding, "When his goons start a race war they will be paying sexxy red on the loud speaker to get yall to come outside."

"Omg...One disappointment after another. Raeshondra and Lashondra broke up cause Lashondra a scammer. Sexxy Red a Trxmp supporter. And I forgot to thaw my chicken b4 I left for work...smh... damn. Can't have S—," this person shared.

Yet another Xer chimed, "Again. Capitalism will be the death of Freedom. It's money over rights. Money over morals. Money over education. Sexxy Red can keep her little songs & comments. She lost the plot for this one."

The last time Red made it to the headlines was for her budding romance (or lack thereof) with Drake. Fans had been intrigued by the pair's relationship after the Canadian-born superstar shared photos of them cozying up backstage after he made a stop in Brooklyn, New York, as part of his "It's All a Blur" tour.

In one of the images uploaded to his Instagram Story, the 36-year-old sits with the "Pound Town" rapper, placing his arm around her as he kisses her cheek. At the same time, Red had her hand on the side of his head, with her eyes closed and a pouty expression on her face. 

"Just met my rightful wife," the "Take Care" collaborator typed across the image, showing him wearing a black baggy sweatshirt, matching leather pants, and diamond stud earrings. For her part, Red paired her signature red hair with a white cropped leather jacket, matching ripped jeans, black-rimmed glasses, and a customized diamond-encrusted necklace.

Reposting the same photo, alongside a second snap of herself and Drake seated backstage again with their heads pressed together as the latter stuck his tongue out, to her own Instagram, the St. Louis native dubbed herself "yo favorite rapper favorite rapper."
