Trina is on the wrong side of the protests, referring to the people fighting for basic human rights for people of color as "animals" on her radio show with Trick Daddy.
The Love & Hip Hop star has been on the airwaves for several months after announcing that she and her longtime collaborator Trick Daddy would be starting their own radio show. Well, it looks like a lot of people will stop supporting her after she made comments that did not sit well with Black Twitter or anybody that cares about the protests happening this week.
Discussing the current protests, Trina allegedly suggested that the curfews be started earlier in Atlanta so that stores owned by her friends could be protected. She also reportedly referred to the protestors as "animals." That statement got everybody up in arms.

"What trina said was indefensible. i’m not even gonna try to make sense of it, she can go," said a former fan. Others brought up the racist incident that she faced several months ago, being called the n-word by a white woman at a Walmart.
The self-proclaimed "Baddest Bitch" is facing tons of backlash on social media but, regardless, she does not appear to be bothered. She fired back with a couple messages of her own this morning.
"Some of y’all are plain fuckN ignorant and nothing nobody do will help period," she wrote on Twitter. "I’m at work and I’m muthafuckn ready."

Lil Wayne will be joined by DJ Khaled, Stephen A. Smith, and others on the new episode of Young Money Radio.
Last week, we witnessed the premiere of Lil Wayne‘s new show Young Money Radio on Apple Music.

Episode 2 of Young Money Radio will officially go live at 7 PM EST and already, Lil Wayne has announced a couple of special guests for the menu.
“We back at it again TONIGHT with Episode 2,” wrote Tunechi on social media before revealing some of his friends for this go-around.
“This should be interesting… Stephen A Smith on Young Money Radio. Who’s right ??,” said the rapper. Having Stephen A. Smith on the show, one of the most opinionated sports commentators, will surely get pretty interesting. Lil Wayne is a big basketball and football fan so we’re sure their talk will be worthwhile.
He didn’t stop there though. Weezy F also called on one of his musical friends to join him.
“Another one !! Another kollab you don’t want to miss with my brother, @djkhaled , on Young Money Radio TONIGHT,” said Wayne, revealing that DJ Khaled would also be featured in the new episode. From the sounds of it, there may be a new song on the way between them both!
