Sexyy Red, the controversial St. Louis rapper known for her provocative lyrics and outspoken views, found herself at the center of an internet storm on October 4, 2023. The artist, famous for hits like “Pound Town,” inadvertently became the hottest topic on X, formerly known as Twitter, when an explicit sex tape featuring her surfaced on the platform. It was a shocking turn of events that left the online community buzzing.
What was even more bewildering was that the NSFW footage appeared on her own Instagram Stories, leading many to speculate that she had unintentionally shared it herself. Before long, the video was deleted, but not before it had caused a firestorm of reactions and outrage across social media.
One X user expressed disbelief, saying, “sexyy red posted WHAT on her story??” while another quipped, “Sexyy Red is reminding us that Jesus is coming back soon because who TF does this?”
Sexyy Red addressed the commotion in the early hours of October 5, suggesting that her account had been hacked. She posted a heartfelt message on X, stating, “I’m so heartbroken anybody that kno me knows I wouldn’t do no goofy sht like that [broken heart emoji] [teary face emoji].”
This incident occurred shortly after Sexyy Red had made headlines by expressing her admiration for former President Donald Trump, stating that the country “needs” him back in office. During an episode of comedian Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” podcast, she shared her thoughts on Trump’s impact, particularly on the Black community.
“I like Trump,” she said. “Yeah, they support him in the hood. At first, I don’t think people were messing with him. They thought he was racist, saying little s**t against women… But once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people that free money. 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.”
She added, “I love Trump. He’s funny to me. I used to be watching him talking to people. He used to be calling people fat. He just bold. He’s funny. We need people like him.”
These comments generated backlash online, with fans and fellow Hip Hop figures expressing their disappointment and challenging her views. Some pointed out the inaccuracies in her statements regarding stimulus checks.
“Clearly, some people don’t know how the stimulus checks worked, whose money it actually was/is, and how it got distributed… People believe anything,” wrote Hot 97 and Apple ’s Ebro Darden on X.
