Killer Mike is having a rough time on social media. Less than a month after becoming a trending topic for his controversial appearance on the National Rifle Association’s television channel, the Run The Jewels member is being slammed again for a botched attempt at exposing MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Instagram.
Reid was one of Mike’s most prominent critics following his infamous interview with NRATV, and it seems the veteran MC was waiting for her to slip up. The MSNBC host wrote “H&M” in an Instagram post, and Mike assumed she was supporting the fashion retailer that caused an uproar for its racist advertisement. Unfortunately for him, this wasn’t the case.
“So me doing an interview about black Gun Ownership with the NRA is “bad,” but you promoting a company that tagged a black child a monkey is ‘good, cool, acceptable,’ Mike commented. “Ok check. Smh niggas.”
Reid clapped back by noting H&M is an abbreviation for hair and makeup before referencing the sunken place from Jordan Peele’s hit film Get Out.
“’H&M’ stands for ‘hair and makeup,’ Mike,” she responded. “The two women beside me in this pic did my hair (H) and makeup (M) for a shoot. The blouse I’m wearing is by @norisolferrari and I doubt you can buy it at the retail chain you’re thinking of. (I got it from the designer via a stylist.) And here I was thinking you were an intellectual, and not just the guy who hangs out in the sunken place talking guns with the NRA’s ‘official black guy’ who literally changed his last name to ‘black.'”
Mike apologized and admitted his mistake, but the damage was already done. Twitter has been filled with users mocking his failed attempt at calling out Reid.
Check out a sample of the reactions below.

You said nothing but straight facts.
He’s a cornball and a wack rapper. Fuck RTJ. Get off social media and start a diet you wack rapper.
Wack?
Killer Mike is far from wack ya wanksta
Your whole comment is as wack as you, RealPranksta.
why don’t all you n_ggers fuck off back to Africa? Nobody fuckin wants you here. Nobody. Now fuck off back to your Wakanda.
Yet you are here. Are you a fan of hip hop? Or do you come here just to troll!
He is a troll you fool. and you believed it. Stop being so naive
It’s sad that Trump brings out all these racists and hateful sacks of shit. Make American Hate Again is working smh
Trump didn’t do anything more than what his opponents were doing to control the popular opinion during the election. Didn’t work, so now they’re in overdrive trying to guarantee some kind of win this year and in 2020. Keep yourself misinformed and you’ll be voting like a good little mind-slave.
I don’t understand how Killer Mike being in that NRA video was a bad thing… that is, if you actually listened to what he said and you understand what the NRA is for. I’m not a member and don’t even own a gun, but a little bit of time looking around online and you start to see the massive holes in the idea that they’re “child murderers”.
Im gonna listen to Ras Kass’s Nature of The Threat to remind myself of how cowardly and insecure you racist neanderthals are.
thanks for sharing your information:
scared little bitch
123 coward lane
vanilla city, racist 12e45
Sometimes, you need to know when to shut the fuck up.
But, that aunt Thomasina bitch joyless joy, doesn’t know how to that. Maybe if they shove a democrat dick in her mouth, she’ll then do that. And I’m pretty sure that she’ll gladly suck on it, specially if it is pink.
this guy is a fucking retard who likes to think he is smarter than the rest of the humanity
Ha! Look who’s talking. Fuckin’ dotard.
He’s clearly smarter than you, as you can’t put a proper sentence together.
H&M not racist, people are way too sensitive. No Company would intentionally risk to lose millions of Dollars and damage their reputation forever to make fun of Black. A real racist company would trick you to spend your money on them so you stay poor and they get richer
Bless your heart. That’s some really naive thinking.
I take it you’re a Latino punk and a wanna be white supremacist. Because a company got caught on their bs doesn’t mean it wasn’t their intentions to be offensively racist.
Latinos are white supremacists now?? LMFAO. Thats what I meant. Tooo Sensitive. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a white supremacist, specially when the person isnt WHITE. Stop playing the Victim and start using your brain.
H&M has a history of pulling stunts like that and fucking over hard. So while it’s possible they’re not totally racist it certainty wasn’t a mistake, 100% was intentional.
Actually with her comments about her blouse she sounds like the elitists she claims not to be. Yeah this guy, whoever he is made a mistake but she didn’t, she was deliberate in her comments.
Bro, she is a sellout who loves democrat dick, and so much so, that she is secretly involved in the conspiracy to take guns away from black people. She has sold her soul to the new world order. She ain’t black no more, she’s an elite now, just like her hero oprah. Killer Mike is a real brotha, just like Chuck D.
Just because killer Mike did a mistake…doesn’t mean he was wrong in the NRA interview
Did a mistake? Bwah. Your troll game is mad weak scooter
Killer Mike did no mistake. He told the truth. And uncle Toms, and racist democrat krackas, just don’t want black people to know the truth, so that they can then take their guns, and their lives, as planed on their new world order guide. You need to start reading those books about that stuff, and educate yourself about the real world that we live in.
it’s time for km to stand down matter of fact I think he needs a little vacation
At least KM was humble enough to admit he was wrong. That’s the sign of a real man and not someone who feels he needs to take a year off because he was wrong—he ain’t living his life through the eyes of other people like the kids are today. Take note children because hubris is a terrible thing.
NRA YOUNGBOY!!!
The hypocrisy. Killer Mike makes a mistake, just like HandM did. Killer Mike is becoming more of a clown everyday. I used to be a fan. Now I can’t listen to his music.
This fake SJW dumbass needs to learn to STFU already. A mediocre rapper at best. Without El-P and the backpacker crowd he wouldn’t be able to afford all of that Taco Bell and Cheetos. The crowd at his show are all millennial honkeys. Hilarious.
His fans are white are they? What’s your point, racist?
Funny how quickly the left turn on eachother as soon as a single opinion doesnt match. But hey they are so loving and inclusive right?
People like to put you in groups. The left does this and the right does that. Everyone is different. Killer Mike speaks for nobody but himself. No 2snowflakes are alike.
Some people put themselves in groups. Before the NRA thing he was a liberal poster boy. He did one thing that they disagree with and now they turned their backs on him. Just funny because they are the ones always preavhing love and acceptance.
Oooh… I didn’t know Joy can clapback like that. That wasn’t even for me and my feelings are hurt, she wasn’t even talking to me and I feel like apologizing. Killer Mike should have just ate his food. For someone who is so woke, he really doesn’t know when to just STFU. He needs to go turn off his phone and write some songs.
The agenda is real. Now hip hop dx trying to disarm the people. Keep black, white and brown people armed because you know that the government most certainly is!
Whatever you believe just know that if you support the NRA you’re supporting the message of gun merchants. These people receive millions upon millions to fight against gun control all in the name of “Protecting the PRODUCT,” Not the people.
The hilarious thing is people think this is how the NRA always was when actually they were staunch supporters of Gun Control.
“I have never believed in the general practice of carrying weapons. I do not believe in the general promiscuous toting of guns. I think it should be sharply restricted and only under licenses.” — Karl Frederick, the President of the NRA, 1939
If we start attacking and bringing down FRIENDS and ALLIES like KM and EL then who are we?
KM stay gold.
Joy Reid is Russia’s favorite pundit.
HAHAHAHAHAHA Damn. Egg on face for sure. No excuses. He played himself. Glad he acknowledged and rightfully apologized. Too funny.
So in America if you dont get with everyone else’s views and opinions you get turned on and crucified?? fucked up how one cant even have their own opinion anymore. Shouldnt one have the right to support what what they want or who they want? Killer mike is a real dude and doing alot more positive than most other pop rappers are, he definitely ain’t no sheep like many are. The elite have an agenda to divide everyone and its definitely working coz there are too many ignorant people out there
