Sexyy Red Addresses Rumor That She’s Performing At Donald Trump Rally

by

Sexyy Red has had a controversial rise to fame. She’s dominated the charts with her aggressive style, but her bluntness has also garnered her lots of critics. Nowhere are her critics more vocal than when it comes to her politics. The rapper told This Weekend podcast host Theo Von that she’s a fan of Donald Trump, and the rap community was not pleased. Sexyy Red’s stance, however, lend credence to the rumor that she was performing at Trump’s upcoming campaign rally on August 3.

The rumor seemingly started with a tweet from the account Thee Pop Feed. “Sexyy Red is rumored to perform at Donald Trump’s presidential rally,” the tweet read. The rally is slated to take place in Atlanta, Georgia, which is where Kamala Harris’ July 30th rally took place. Harris landed high-profile appearances from the likes of Quavo and Megan Thee Stallion at her rally. Quavo went as far as to praise Harris for her gun policies in a heartfelt speech. It stands to reason that the rumor about Sexyy Red performing was an attempt to balance out Harris’ hip-hop endorsements. That said, though, the rumor is false.

Sexyy Red Called “Cap” On Campaign Rally Performance

Despite Sexyy Red’s positive comments about Trump, the rapper will not be performing at the former President’s rally. Red went as far as to quote the original Pop Feed tweet and write: “Dey fakin dats cap.” This actually makes sense, given the rapper’s recent course correction. Sexyy Red performed in front of a giant MAGA hat that read: “Make American Sexyy Again” during the 2024 Roots Picnic. The backlash to the performance was severe, and the rapper stated that she would not be endorsing any presidential nominee in the upcoming election.

Well, excluding herself. “It’s Sexyy Red 4 President,” she tweeted on June 3. “I’m my own candidate I’m not endorsing anybody period.” Donald Trump may not have Sexyy Red in his corner, but several other rappers have voiced their support in recent months. Kodak Black told Drink Champs host N.O.R.E. that he “f*cks” with Trump and would happily give the ex-President $1 million if he needed it. Lil Pump has gone as far as to attack Kamala Harris on social media in defense of Trump. His logic, however, wasn’t particularly sound.

Megan Thee Stallion Endorses Kamala Harris During Rally Performance: Watch

by

Kamala Harris made extensive use of hip-hop culture during her campaign rally in Atlanta. She dissed Donald Trump by quoting a Migos classic. She had Migos star Quavo on hand to endorse her gun control policies with a rousing speech. And she called upon Megan Thee Stallion to perform her latest hits during the event. Megan didn’t get a chance to give a speech like her peer, Quavo, but she did find time to voice her political stance during her performance.

Megan Thee Stallion gave attendees an electric mashup of her biggest singles. “Body” and “Mamushi,” her collab with Yuki Chiba collaboration, were some of the notable titles. Megan’s electricity onstage has been verified time and again, though. What set the performance apart from countless others were the comments that Megan Thee Stallion made in between songs. The rapper made it crystal clear that she advocates for abortion rights throughout the U.S.. She used the title of the aforementioned “Body” as a segue. “Now I know my ladies in the crowd love their bodies,” she told the audience. “If you want to keep loving your bodies, you know who to vote for.”

The Kamala Harris didn’t stop there. Megan Thee Stallion let the instrumental for “Savage” play out while she made note of Harris’ historic importance. “I’m so happy to be here, Atlanta,” she noted. “We about to make history with the first female president. The first Black female president, let’s get this done.” Megan then coined a hashtag that’s going to be everywhere for the next couple months: #HottiesForHarris. She really pulled out all the stops, and the crowd ate it up. Megan Thee Stallion has been vocal in her support for abortion rights for most of her career.

She discussed the important of protecting women’s’ reproductive rights during an April interview with Vogue. “I just wanna kick this off by saying, my body my business, and I do what I wanna do with it,” the rapper asserted. “I have a bigger purpose to use my voice to speak out against injustice. It feels like women have to fight harder than ever to make their own choices regarding their own bodies, families, and futures.” Kamala Harris has similarly advocated for the restoration of abortion rights. She has also commended Megan Thee Stallion for using her platform to promote such an important cause.

Kamala Harris Destroys Donald Trump By Quoting Quavo During Atlanta Rally

by

Kamala Harris’ campaign traveled to Atlanta on July 30. The presidential candidate has already been endorsed by dozens of notable celebrities. She took full advantage of these endorsements during the rally. She not only called upon Megan Thee Stallion to perform during the event, but she had Atlanta native Quavo speak on her behalf. The Migos superstar praised Kamala Harris’ policies, especially with regards to gun control. Harris returned the favor by using an iconic Migos song to diss her opponent.

Harris hyped up the Atlanta crowd by taking aim at Republican nominee Donald Trump. When discussing the ways in which Trump has failed the American people, the Democratic nominee pointed to a line from Migos’ “Walk It Talk It” single from 2018. “As my friend Quavo would say,” Harris asserted. “He does not walk it like he talks it.” The reference elicit cheers of support throughout the crowd, and nicely set up the speech that Quavo would eventually give. The rapper’s appearance was not announced before the rally. Given the impact the rapper has had on ATL culture, though, the co-sign makes complete sense.

Kamala Harris Previously Spoke At Quavo’s Atlanta Summit

Quavo’s speech was brief but impactful, detailing into the importance of gun control as it pertains to saving lives. “You can’t understand the struggle of gun violence if you not in the field or in the heart of it,” the rapper asserted. “One thing I learned from working with Vice President Harris is she always stand on business.” Quavo also alluded to a previous meeting he had with Harris regarding gun control. “It’s only right in the birthplace of the culture is also the same place to launch the first African-American woman to run for president,” he concluded.

Quavo’s passion for gun control is forged in loss. The rapper’s nephew, Takeoff, was shot and killed on November 1, 2022. Both men rose to fame as part of Migos, and Quavo admitted that Takeoff’s death urged him to take a stand. “I feel like your calling comes at the least expected times,” he told Associated Press. “I have to do something about it, so it won’t happen to the masses — especially in our culture. The relationship between Quavo and Harris has benefited both parties. The rapper is providing credibility for Harris among Atlanta voters, and the politician is helping to bolster a cause that Quavo is understandably passionate about. In June, Harris participated in Quavo’s inaugural Rocket Foundation Summit.
