Sexxy Red has apologized to Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter, Bernice, for posting an edited photo of her and the late civil rights leader.
In a since-deleted social media post on Monday (January 20) to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the “SkeeYee” star uploaded an A.I.-generated image of her and MLK dancing together in a nightclub.
The post caused a stir online, with King’s youngest daughter Bernie, who is an activist herself, leading the chorus of criticism.
“This is intentionally distasteful, dishonoring, deplorable, and disrespectful to my family and my father, who is not here to respond himself because he was assassinated for working for your civil and human rights and to end war and poverty. Please delete,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

King added: “Please don’t project your thoughts onto me. I don’t believe Sexyy Red to be a ‘degenerate,’ ‘ghetto,’ or ‘trash.’ I have spoken out in the past about the use of and comparison to either of my parents to denigrate other people.
“I just don’t understand this type of use of my father’s image (on #MLKDay, no less), in a way that does not convey what we know to be true about his service and sacrifice.
“Even if you disagree with him or with his tactics or even believe things said about him by people who hated him, why do this?”
Sexyy Red quickly admitted that the picture was in bad taste, replying: “You ain’t wrong, never meant to disrespect your family my apologies. Just resposted something I saw that I thought was innocent.”

This is not the first time that the St. Louis native has found herself in hot water over political matters.
In October 2023, Sexyy Red ruffled feathers by revealing that she was a huge fan of Donald Trump.
“I like Trump,” she said in an interview with comedian/podcaster Theo Von. “Yeah, they support him in the hood. At first I don’t think people was fucking with him. They thought he was racist, saying little shit against women.
“But once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people that free money. Aww baby, we love Trump. We need him back in office. We need him back because, baby, them checks. Them stimulus checks. Trump, we miss you.”
The 26-year-old later distanced herself from Trump and revealed that she voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, which the Democrat ended up losing.
Somebody needs to have a serious talk with Kodak…
Ghetto n*###qgger🦍💩
Ghetto black hoodrat🦍🤮💩
Fuck that chlamydia spreading hoodrat.
Her career is almost over. She is gonna turn to OnlyFans.
She is gonna open a OnlyFans account soon when she starts flopping. This hoe is ghetto trash.
If she wasn’t a rapper, this hoe would be a street walker, stripper and OnlyFans model.
Sexyy Red should’ve just been a stripper or pornstar not a rapper. She is a thot.
Sexyy Red is a St, Louis cumdumpster hoodrat thot. She sucked off old white men to get to the top. Y’all put hoes like her and Kim Kardashians on pedestal and made them famous.
But she is degenerate. She is ghetto. She is trash. And, of course, she’s a Trump supporter. She’s what racists think all Black women are. She is an embarrassment. She is a detriment to her race. And a stain on humanity. And so is anyone who is entertained in any way by this semi literate, kool aid red-headed prostitute.
Can you go one day without complaining about your TDS? This has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. Take the orange dick out ur mouth
@You Simp It’s always projection with you MAGtards. Hey 🐔🍭…If anyone has orange cum stains around their lips it’s you. So how ’bout you get that orange creamsicle out your mouth? And stop simping for billionaires who don’t give af about you, peasant.
@gem lord how is it projection? You bring up Trump on a nearly daily basis where his name has nothing to do with tbe topic at hand. And FYI, if you look it up. SEXY REDD took her support away from Trump and voted for Kamala Harris. You really need to get your head put of your ass making false claims like that.
@Jay I can bring up Trump as much as I gdamn want. Who tf do you think you are, bruh? Just because you and other amoral mfs choose to sleepwalk through life and turn a blind eye to wickedness, bigotry and greed doesn’t mean I have to. This article is about this Kool Aid head dissing MLK not Kamala. See? You social media attention span mfs can’t even stay on topic. Why you bringing Kamala up anyway? You got KDS? Now, how bout you hop off my dick and go bother someone else.
@gen lord of brought up Kamala because you falsely painted Sexy Redd as a Trump supporters, when she in fact voted for Kamala. You’re just a retarded troll.
I thought the picture was going to be her twerking on MLK or some shit. Could be much worse
For real. I mean it is still distasteful, but I too was expecting a lap dance or some ish
“Sexyy” Red is a c#um dumpster for the evil J✡️wwish elite.
I really don’t understand what these young girls think theß days all of them need to clean up their actions. This over sexualized lyrics, behavior and dramatic cosmetic enhancements, makeup, hair and eye scare you looks have got to go.
The FCC really needs to institute regulations on the language content of these recordings. It has gotten out of control.

She is a thot.
The irony of it all is that BBLDRIZZY the Certified PDF File is the same age as MLK.
