Trina found herself facing the wrath of Twitter on Tuesday (June 3) after some comments she made during her 99 Jamz Miami radio show with Trick Daddy made an awkward landing.
While speaking to Trick, who was trying to discuss the civil unrest in the country, the veteran rapper continued to interrupt him with a healthy dose of attitude.
“[They] run through, tear down our stores and burn down our stuff, breaking our stores and go and tear up Bayside Marketplace and tear up my friend’s shop that has a son to and a family to take care of, you gonna demolish her shop for something? No,” she said.
When Trick replied, “It’s nothing personal,” Trina responded, “It’s definitely personal ’cause I feel like at the end of the day … she got insurance, but she’s also been locked down for 60 days also like us and she also don’t have money like me, so I don’t approve of it. Period. ‘Cause you know what, nobody’s burning down Sundae’s, let’s be very clear. You have insurance.
As Trina continued ranting about not being able to “breathe life” back into anybody who’s been killed, including her brother, she emphatically states, “I am ready today!”
The second half of the conversation got even uglier as Trina’s emotions started to run higher.
“A life is a life. Period,” she said. “No matter how it was taken — whether it was a car accident, whether it was from the police, whether it was from the hands of another black man, a life was taken. Simple. Fired Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin has been arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
“Third-degree murder means a homicide committed with the intent of causing bodily harm but not necessarily death. If convicted, he could get 25 years in prison or murder charge up to 10 years in prison for manslaughter and that’s supposed to justify everything? Half y’all out marching are not even caring about this man.”
At some point, she also told Trick she wasn’t scared to get pulled over because she had her license, insurance and registration ready.
Finally, Trina opened up about how she feels Miami should be handling the protests and riots, suggesting they implement an earlier curfew to keep the “animals” at bay.
“They need to make the curfew at 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. That’s how I feel,” she said. “Keep everybody off the streets, these animals off the streets, that are running around in Miami-Dade county acting like they’ve escaped from a zoo. Lock them up at 5 p.m. so the streets can be nice and clean. That’s how I feel.”
Twitter promptly pounced on Trina, calling for her to be canceled. Some people insisted she was having some kind of midlife crisis, while others used jokes and memes to add levity to the situation.

She attempted to defend herself with a since-deleted tweet that read, “The problem is with some of y’all y’all don’t wanna hear the truth. Well y’all can be mad ! Y’all should put that anger and frustration into doing something better. Instead of talking shit about people.”
Trina is not the first celebrity to get dragged online for comments surrounding George Floyd’s killing. Lil Wayne recently received Twitter backlash for his statements about the issue.

Hahahahahaha. Most of the protestors are white. Most of the rioters and looters are white as well. Black people are getting blamed for all of this savagery. BLM and the “I cant breathe” movement is now just an afterthought. All America as a whole is thinking about is getting back to a normal life, and throwing all of these looters in federal prison. All of this is playing right into Trump’s hands. Antifa and white supremacists are stoking most of these flames, they want to see the country burn and the economy collapse. This stopped being about justice a while ago. No one is worried about cops now, only looters, who America as a whole see as black or black sympathizers. People who were in favor of peaceful protests are now wanting the cops to crack heads. The exact opposite affect of what these protests should be FOR! SMH
Not in Philadelphia. Most of the ppl hitting the stores up are black.
Somehow that is less bad. I’m not being sarcastic either.
She is right though. So is Wayne.
Depending on the city you had a mix of white and black. Demographics. When my car was stopped on the freeway with just protestors. Not rioters. It was mostly white because of the area I’m in. You go to Oakland than it was mostly black. Also mostly black doing the looting. The footage I’ve seen of Nike stores and Apple stores getting looted and people getting beat up were black mostly. Unless the camera had some sort of filter or everyone was in black face. Anyone who wants to say overall that the looting and rioting was just from whites is still trying to stick with “white people are the cause of our problems”.
This is america.
A woman speaking the truth from her heart gets ripped apart.
Democratic Dictatorship of speech.
You have to think this or you are canceled !
Really nice community.
Rioting is important cause two times wrong equals right ?
George Floyd wanted to breath. Thats the only fact. What he would want now nobody knows.
All that people do now they do it themselfes not for Mr. Floyd!
Sorry but she has a point. Looting.. violence and burning down buildings ain’t the answer. Some of the businesses were black owned. David dorn a retired black police officer was shot in the head and killed. Anger Vs anger never works. It seems like only some black lives matter. Bunch of hypocrites. In the last 50 years how many riots as there been? Yet for some reason there as been no real progress. We seem to be going backwards.
And in 200 years how much progress has singing “Kumbaya” brought if people in 2020 are still protesting the same shit they were in 1960? I swear some of y’all are whole fucking clowns man.
She can’t win in her own culture. See? This is a perfect example of black people demonizing their own for speaking the truth. When the time comes, Trina gets to live. Every other black animal will get squashed like roaches.
These days you get criticized for the telling the truth. Teens on social media think they’re always correct.
Never got into Trina before . Will make sure to bump her music now .
“muh pROTESTERZ” aka animals. Rioters/looters are not protesters.
two sides to every story, I guess.
I understand the outrage, but people on both sides just don’t accept anybody with an opinion that differs from whatever the party line is.
Part of it is that social media is 90% clout chasers who can’t wait to get likes for trashing someone and being militant. Life is actually a lot more complicated than just being a zero sum game.
All facts homie. They want everyone to be sheep.
I rarely use this term, but that is a dumb bitch.
Right? She should’ve said this sooner
She’s right. I’m seeing footage of the Hispanic neighborhoods chasing out looting blacks and rival gangs. Don’t think people will put up with this BS any longer. Trina, I feel bad for you and the decent African Americans like that poor man who died in front of his shop in St. Louis. His name was David Dorn 77 and didn’t deserve this. May he Rest In Peace. I’m so sorry this happened to him. Does Black Lives really matter, or is it just reserved for the thugs?
Silly fools it’s just not black people out there whites and Spanish are causing all the vandalism across the country and of course the blacks get blamed simply niggas go with it hints Uncle Tom’s
This comment section sounds like is full of white dudes that don’t fuck with the culture outside of music, but giving their opinions on social issues black people face. All of y’all a bunch of fucking culture appropriating clowns. Go check on your wife and make sure she feels the same as you do and isn’t fucking her black co-worker. Dweebs.
Again, this comment section is full of people that don’t support the culture outside of music. Culture appropriation at its finest. Don’t care about black people socially, but speaking on issues that black people face socially. Y’all can keep deleting the comment but it’s the truth.
Aside from make assumptions with no basis. You also sound pretty racist. We all can agree that what happened to George Floyd is terrible. Just because people don’t 100% agree with what’s going on in regards to the riots doesn’t mean they don’t care about Black people. If we’re going to be fair here; unless someone that white, and has a badge takes a life of a black man or woman. You don’t care.
