Sexyy Red responds to sex tape scandal following Trump controversy
Rapper and singer Sexyy Red has finally spoken out after coming into the firing line of fans in a recent interview when she expressed her support for former President Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, the “SkeeYee” singer accompanied comedian Theo Von on his The last weekend Podcast where she shares her views on Trump and how “we [the US] I need him back in office.
Red, whose real name is Janae Nierah Wherry, received major backlash from fans and social media users online for these comments, and the drama didn’t end there.
The same angry people soon accused the star of posting her sex tape on her Instagram Stories to distract from the interview. The supposedly scandalous video only remained on her social media for a short time before it was removed.
Now she has it shared with her followers on X, tweeted earlier how heartbroken she is over the release of the video and suggested it was done without her knowledge.
