Sexyy Red wants you to know that she can hold her own in the vocals department.
The Hood’s Hottest Princess pulled out all the stops for her Americana-themed performance at Rolling Loud California on Friday.
With a giant “Make America Sexyy Again” hat on stage, a potential nod to Donald Trump, the 25-year-old rapper donned her signature red hair with a stars and stripes ensemble for her 30-minute set.
When it came time to perform her Drake collab, “Rich Baby Daddy,” SZA was not on site to offer her vocals. However, President Sexyy was clearly willing to do what was necessary for her fans and other citizens watching through the festival’s official livestream.
“Did y’all know I could sing?” Sexyy asked the crowd at the 25:05 mark.
Sexyy gave her best rendition of SZA’s guest vocals at 26:23 and inspired a new hilarious viral moment on social media. A separate upload of the clip garnered 5 million views at publishing time.
Last October, the rapper expressed support for Donald Trump on the This Past Weekend podcast saying, “We need him back in office.”
“I like Trump,” she told host Theo Von. “Yeah, they support him in the hood. ‘Cos at first I don’t think people was fucking with him. Like they thought he was racist, saying little shit, and against women. But once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people that free money, ah baby, we love Trump. We need him back in office.”
While Sexyy Red described Trump as “funny” and someone she’d like to meet, one instance of his racism includes violating the Civil Rights Act by refusing to rent homes to Black people.
Regardless of her singing skills or political position, fans are clearly riding with Red and her performance.
Sexyy dropped her latest single “Get It Sexyy” with Tay Keith on Friday. The track marks her first release since the deluxe edition of her Hood Hottest Princess mixtape.
