by

Sexyy Red may be the Hood Hottest Princess, but that doesn’t mean she’s afraid of some legal drama. After fans made the expecting mother aware of fake stimulus program advertisements using artificially generated videos and audio of her voice, the “Pound Town” hitmaker is ready to get her lawyer working on the case. Amid Thanksgiving celebrations on Thursday (November 23), Red found a moment to hop on Twitter and address the “health spending card” incentive scammers are tricking innocent people into signing up for on platforms like Instagram.

“It’s your girl Sexyy Red, I’m gonna show you how to put $6,400 in your pocket right now for free,” the St. Louis native says in the clip below. As she begins talking, a clip of a girl putting food in her mouth plays – like a ploy to capture people’s attention – before cutting to a snippet of the redhead standing awkwardly with a man playing guitar. “The state be handing out these stacks to every single one of y’all. You don’t even need a job,” the AI-generated voiceover promises viewers.
