Icewear Vezzo and Peezy supported Donald Trump on his visit to Detroit over the weekend as he campaigned in the city he once called a “living hell.”
Trump surprised the pastor of 180 Church, a predominantly Black church on the outskirts of the city, staging a roundtable to court Black voters. Footage showed Sada Baby, Peezy and Icewear Vezzo supporting Trump at the event, which attracted a majority white crowd.
During a speech, Trump said crime was “most rampant here, in African-American communities,” per Reuters. He also claimed that the “Black population wants law enforcement more than any other.”
Peezy and Icewear Vezzo faced backlash after posting photos with Donald Trump on Instagram.
“Can anybody explain why they so mad?” Peezy wrote on Instagram alongside a pic with Trump. “I thought we was free to vote for whoever we want?? What’s the problem? Does everybody have to be a follower? Do yall hate free thinkers?”
One person replied with a list of all the reasons to be mad about Donald Trump, including his ties to white supremacists.
Meanwhile, Icewear Vezzo explained the controversial meeting, claiming, ”not many of us will ever have the chance to really speak up for us.” He added, “the only way to attempt change things is to address things.”
Vezzo also acknowledged the backlash in a follow-up post, questioning. “Why can’t we respectfully agree to disagree?”
