Trina is wasting no time addressing the drama she found herself in this morning, after comments she made about the race riots fell foul of public favor.

As reported, the rapper slammed the riots that have broken out in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

The passing of the unarmed Black man, after Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nine minutes, has sparked protests and broader discourse about racial injustice.

It’s exactly this that has so many riled up at Trina, who used her Miami radio platform to brand rioters as “animals” and suggest it’s Black people destroying Black businesses.

She went on to stress that she isn’t afraid of being stopped by police while driving because she has her “license and registration.”

Despite the backlash, she’s undeterred. So much so that she’s doubling down on her comments.

Designed to root out “systemic racism that is generations deep,” the governor took to Twitter earlier today to make the official announcement that the investigation would review policies and practices from over the past 10 years to determine if there was any foul play.
