Journalist Angela Rye criticized and fact checked Black supporters of Donald Trump—particularly Sexyy Red and other rappers.
As the 2024 Presidential elections approach, journalist Angela Rye has been observing that there have been rappers making public declarations of supporting former President Donald Trump if not supporting Republican politicians. Ice Cube has drawn some flack for his stance as well as Killer Mike and Ye aka Kanye West, amongst others. The most recent from the rap world to do so has been Sexxy Red, the rising star who gave her public support for Trump in a recent interview.
The St. Louis rapper’s comments compelled Rye to create and release a two-part video in her Break It Down series posted through social media addressing her and other rappers’ fascination with the twice-impeached president. “This is Part 2 for #SexyyRed and other Blacks for Trump: what in the hell do you have to lose? EVERYTHING,” Rye wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter announcing the second part, concluding: “I heard y’all on the stimulus piece. I have something coming on that ASAP, but I wanted you to get this history first.”
“Some of this misinformation — some of these ‘facts’ — have to be fact-checked,” Rye begins in the first video. “The arguments about what Trump has done for the Blacks have to be called out, have to be addressed. This video isn’t just about Sexyy Redd. This video series are really to ensure that Black folks who are for Trump or just might be by default understand what he’s done or not done for us.”
She then goes on to state that just because Trump commuted the sentences of Kodak Black, Lil Wayne, and Alice Johnson doesn’t mean that he has been hard at work trying to pardon other Black people, making allusions to his treatment of the Exonerated Five. “There are still a lot of Black folks who were in jail under Donald Trump. See the thing that you have to understand is that out of all of the people who requested clemency, a commutation, a pardon, Donald Trump was actually the president who pardoned the least number of people since 1945,” Rye stated.
The CEO of IMPACT Strategies stressed that she put these videos together to inform and not berate Sexyy Red and other members of the Black community. “I did this out of love. I am committed to teaching with grace,” she writes.

A day after Sexyy Red professed her (sort of) undying support for Donald Trump, the St. Louis rapper was once again trending on social media for all the wrong reasons as she apparently leaked her own sex tape.This past Wednesday night (October 4), followers of Red were shocked when the “Pound Town” rapper posted a pretty explicit video on her IG stories that seemed to be Red getting her pound town on forreal and social media blew it’s gasket. Many of her fans immediately took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their disbelief, shock, and of course some very comedic commentary and posts.
Of course, the video was taken down not too long after it was posted as someone must’ve brought the matter to Red’s attention ASAP, but the damage was done and she was the topic of discussion on social media all night long.
Naturally, Sexyy took to her X page to let everyone know that it wasn’t her who posted the content saying “I’m so heartbroken anybody that kno me knows I wouldn’t do no goofy sht like that.”
Well, that’s one way to get Donald Trump’s attention, that’s for sure. Just sayin.’
Whether or not she accidentally posted that clip or someone did her dirty is anyone’s guess, but it happened and social media is on the case with their thoughts and it’s been stirring up debates about consent, and lewd jokes.
