Rapper Sexyy Red has made a major political shift, publicly endorsing Kamala Harris for the upcoming presidential election. This comes just one year after the artist faced backlash for her support of Donald Trump.
Last year, Sexyy Red caused controversy when she openly expressed her admiration for Trump and even donned a red “Make America Great Again” hat during a festival performance. Many fans were disappointed and outraged by her support for the divisive president.
However, it seems that Sexyy Red has had a change of heart. In a recent statement, she explained her decision to endorse Harris, saying, “I’ve been doing a lot of research and soul-searching, and I truly believe that Kamala Harris is the best candidate for the job.”
Harris, who is the first Black and South Asian woman to be nominated for vice president by a major party, has been gaining support from various celebrities and public figures. Sexyy Red joins the likes of Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in endorsing Harris.
The rapper also addressed her previous support for Trump, stating, “I made a mistake and I take full responsibility for it. I was caught up in the hype and didn’t fully understand the impact of my actions. But now, I am using my platform to promote positive change and support a candidate who aligns with my values.”
Sexyy Red’s endorsement of Harris has been met with mixed reactions from fans. While some are applauding her for admitting her mistake and making a change, others are still disappointed and have expressed their disappointment on social media.
Regardless of the response, it is clear that Sexyy Red is standing by her decision to support Harris and is using her platform to encourage others to do the same. With the election just around the corner, it will be interesting to see how this endorsement will impact the race.
