A flyer posted on social media reveals a number of Black influencers, hip-hop stars, and retired athletes scheduled to attend the ball going down throughout President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inauguration weekend on Jan. 19 in Washington, D.C. Faces of former NFL broad receiver Antonio Brown, rappers Waka Flocka and Fivio International, and conservative YouTubers, The Cartier Household and Anton Daniels, are plastered on the flyer as “particular and superstar visitors.” Activist Deray Mckesson reposted the flyer on X, calling the lineup “embarrassing.”
The “honorary occasion chairs” embrace a few of Congress’ Black GOP members, reminiscent of Reps. Byron Donalds (FL.) and Wesley Hunt (TX). Sports activities journalist Sage Steele and former NFL participant Jack Brewer are on the record, Florida’s former Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, and Dr. Alveda King, the evangelist niece of civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Social media customers criticized the visitors for doubtlessly switching up their platforms for “clout.” @DCAZ480 particularly talked about the Cartier Household, saying, “So Cartier Household went from posting movies of seeing songs/movies for the primary time to this?!”
One other consumer, @navygirl84, alleges that appearances are all about cash. “Folks will do something for clout. A few of us have misplaced our manner. Sheer Coonery.”
However fellow Black conservatives celebrated the lineup. CEO of Spectre Methods, Javon A. Worth, responded to Mckesson’s tweet, claiming there’s nothing embarrassing about it. “Embarrassing? What’s embarrassing is dismissing a historic celebration of freedom, variety of thought, and President Trump’s victory,” he wrote. “BCF needs to be proud to honor this legendary win.”
Brown and Flocka, whose actual identify is Juaquin James Malphurs, made headlines after each Black males grew to become avid Trump supporters, endorsing him early in his marketing campaign.
