Sexyy Red has already cast her ballot in the upcoming presidential election and has apparently voted for Kamala Harris after some controversies over past statements in support of Donald Trump.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday (November 1), the St. Louis native shared a pair of “I Voted” stickers in a very on-brand pose, as proof that she is among the over 68 million Americans who participated in the early voting process ahead of next week’s election.

She voiced her support for Vice President Harris in her caption, which reads: “I just voted!!! Don’t tell us what to do with our coochies!! #Kamala4President.” Harris has put reproductive rights at the center of her campaign.
The rapper’s official endorsement comes after a series of incidents over the past year or so during which she came under scrutiny for her once-vocal support of the former president.

In October 2023, Sexyy Red revealed that she was a huge fan of former president Donald Trump — but her comments didn’t go down well on social media.
The “SkeeYee” rapper talked about her affinity for Trump during an interview on comedian Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast, where she claimed that the hood loves Trump due to him freeing Black people from prison and providing stimulus checks during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I like Trump,” she said. “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.”

Sexyy Red swiftly received backlash on social media for her outspoken support of Donald Trump, whose presidency was plagued by accusations of racism, misogyny and election interference. In August of last year, he was indicted for alleged attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state of Georgia.
“Clearly some people don’t know how the stimulus checks worked, who’s money it actually was/is and how it go distributed… People believe anything,” Hot 97 and Apple Music’s Ebro Darden wrote on X.

By June of this year, however, she had started to change her tone, making it clear that she would not be endorsing Donald Trump – or any presidential candidate, for that matter.
In a post to X on June 3, the “Get It Sexyy” rapper distanced herself from getting behind any politician – aside from her own presidential aspirations, of course.
“It’s Sexyy Red 4 President [American flag emoji] I’m my own candidate I’m not endorsing anybody period [kiss emoji],” she wrote.
The post followed mixed reactions she received after performing with a giant MAGA hat during her set at the 2024 Roots Picnic over the weekend. While the hat did read “Make America Sexyy Again” as opposed to Trump’s signature phrase, many fans weren’t feeling her seemingly endorsing the controversial figure.

Two months later, she responded to a social media report that she was set to perform at a rally for the Republican candidate with a swift, “Dey fakin dats cap.”
