Let the adult in the room speak.
To Nick Cannon and Chilli — I say this with love, but also with truth.
What y’all are saying right now… in my opinion… is dead wrong.
Now let me be clear — I’m the one who fought all the way to the Supreme Court for free speech. So I respect your right to say whatever you want. That’s a fact.
But this hits different.
Because the same Black people you’re turning your backs on…
The same Black women you’re dismissing…
Those are the same people who built you.
They buy your tickets. They watch your shows. They support your careers.
And now you’re aligning with a man — Donald Trump — who has openly disrespected Black women, including Michelle Obama, and countless other accomplished Black women.
Let’s talk facts:
Our people depend on the Department of Education.
Our people depend on HUD.
Our people depend on opportunity — not having their achievements dismissed as “DEI.”
This same man has:
•Tried to erase Black history
•Limited what our children can learn
•Praised and pardoned officers involved in killing unarmed Black men
So don’t act like this is just politics. This is personal.
Nick, you were right about one thing — yes, a Republican president signed the law freeing enslaved Africans. That’s history.
But you left out everything that happened AFTER that.
You left out where today’s MAGA movement stands.
You left out who has consistently fought for civil rights, voting rights, and opportunity.
If it was left up to them right now, they’d take us backwards — not forward.
And let’s be real…
If they truly cared about Black people — about Foundational Black Americans, descendants of slaves — we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.
We’d be talking about reparations.
So I’m not coming at y’all with hate… I’m coming at you with responsibility.
Because influence comes with accountability.
And right now… y’all on the wrong side of this one.
And people keep asking me why I’m running for Congress — this is exactly why.
To stand up. To speak out. To fight for our people when others won’t.

It's called History for one reason; HIS Story. Whomever wins tells the tale
