Rapper Trina Blasted For Calling Looting Protesters ‘Animals That Escaped From A Zoo’

Trina -Protests

Rapper Trina is facing a backlash on social media for daring to call out the behavior of the violent crowds that joined protests over the death of George Floyd.

The ‘Love and Hip Hop Miami’ star’s comments went viral on social media since being made on her radio show ‘Trick N’ Trina Morning Show’.

RT reports: Trina called for a stricter curfew in Miami, where she resides to keep the “streets nice and clean.”

“They need to make the curfew at 6pm to 6am, that’s how I feel,” she said. “Keep everybody off the streets, these animals off the streets… acting like they escaped from a zoo. Lock them up at 5pm, so the streets can be nice and clean.”

The current curfew in Miami goes from 9pm to 6am.

Trina’s co-host, Trick Daddy, dismissed her criticisms and argued looters and violent protesters are only a “handful” of the people taking to the streets and they are there for the “wrong reasons.”

“It’s only a handful of them. The rest of us are tired of it, when the police get behind you, and the red and blue lights come on, you’re not supposed to be scared,” he said.

Trina continued offering a different perspective by saying she’s not scared of being pulled over by the police because she’s a law-abiding citizen. She also revealed she’s seen the effects of looting and destroying property through a friend whose marketplace in the city was apparently torn apart by protesters.

Though her co-host seemed to agree with her about being against looters and violent protesters, shining a light on the more negative aspects of the demonstrations was enough to trigger him and other activists online, many of whom called for Trina to be “canceled.”

“To refer to your own as ‘animals’ is so despicable. Thank you for the memories, Trina, but good riddance to you and black celebrities like you. Y’all are failing us,” author Michael Arceneaux tweeted.

Despite the backlash, the rapper has not backed away from her comments and told critics on Wednesday she is “ready” to defend her position, a statement she made multiple times on the radio show. She also blasted those arguing against her as “ignorant” and has been going back and forth with critics on Twitter.

  1. Theyre corporate dogs peddl7ng high level Materialism That is the abomination of worshipping the Golden Bull .Almost the original sin from outside Eden .They want to mislead and deceive that theyre values are all good. It is corporate fascism that wants the rioters to just attack each other and Trump .

  2. Years ago, seems a lifetime ago, a lot of those violent young in the streets would be busy at work in some employment even if it were entry level. Those who have bounced basketballs, doing Hollywood, singing with blue hair, and breast exposed beyond what is modest, ease up on those who have been deliberately and opportunistically educated or not educated away from learning a civil life (existence) style – their job possibilities were tax supported to leave the USA in the millions and replaced by the age of IT. You can only have time on your hands to burn baby burn, when you have to much idle time to burn. No. They are not to be called outside of their creation – human beings. Troubled, but so am I. My widow grandmother, raising her daughter’s first two children, taught me; “You will have to be 10x better than the next guy to get a job one day”. She never ID the next guy as being black, white, yellow, or red. That I had to learn as an often talented but often underemployed, under paid adult. And I know my hard earned skills did not earn me the same pay and promotions, but I protested but never assaulted anyone. Never fought the police, but was attacked by some, and protected by some. Some went for the US Army. Loved by some Sergeants and Officers, hated by some. None of us are perfect, we were not born angles. We do have the power of choice, no matter our circumstance. Before I end —– Kate; we are not chimpanzees either.

  3. A perfect example of how the left makes you tow the line of lies . The left hates blacks with a passion . They use them for votes .
