02 Nov Hood’s Hottest [Political] Princess: Sexyy Red Joins Team Blue, Backs Kamala Harris After Dropping Donald Trump

St. Louis rap sensation Sexyy Red has caused quite a stir on social media after backtracking on her endorsement of former President Donald Trump in favor of Kamla Harris. “Don’t tell us what to do with our c**chies!” wrote the Hood’s Hottest [Political] Princess.

In a surprising twist on Friday, Sexyy announced that she voted for Vice President Kamala Harris, aligning herself with other high-profile artists showing support for the Democratic nominee.

About a year ago, Sexyy Red’s comments on Trump caught widespread attention. During an appearance on Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast, she openly praised the pandemic-era stimulus checks and loans, suggesting that they had changed how some in the Black community perceived Trump’s presidency. Her candid comments resonated with some of her fans who felt similarly, and she became known for expressing opinions that, at times, went against the mainstream of the hip-hop community.

“I like Trump… once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people that free money,” she reportedly said. “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.”

In the months following her podcast appearance, Sexyy Red seemed to lean into her Trump endorsement. Earlier this year, she performed at the Governor’s Ball Music Festival in New York City wearing a giant inflatable red hat that humorously read, “Make America Sexyy Again.”

However, as the 2024 election season has heated up, Sexyy Red recently took to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to reveal her change of heart. In a pair of posts featuring “I Just Voted” stickers placed on her sweatsuit, the rapper showed her support for Vice President Kamala Harris, who is running for the presidency.

“I just voted!!! Don’t tell us what to do with our c**chies!! #Kamala4President,” wrote the rapper.

Fans and followers noticed the pivot and flooded her comment section with both excitement and surprise.

One user applauded the rapper’s shift, saying, “Glad she not only showing the young ladies how to twerk, but also to vote!!!!” Another chimed in, “Okayyyy glad she educated herself and switched it up.”

Sexyy Red’s endorsement of Harris places her among a growing number of music artists who are backing the vice president in the upcoming election. Harris has already received support from industry heavyweights like Beyoncé, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Kelly Rowland, Stevie Wonder, Common, Jennifer Lopez, and Quavo.

With Harris gaining momentum in the cultural and hip hop sphere, Sexyy Red’s support could increase a wider trend among younger artists and influencers leaning toward the Democratic ticket in 2024.
