Sexyy Red apologizes to Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter
The coincidence that Martin Luther King Jr. Day lands on the same Monday as Donald Trump’s inauguration isn’t a cause for concern, Bernice King told NBC News, the late civil rights icon’s daughter.
Rapper Sexyy Red, whose real name is Janae Nierah Wherry, faced criticism from Bernice King, the daughter of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., after posting a controversial AI-generated image on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The image depicted Sexyy Red holding hands with Martin Luther King Jr., who was assassinated in 1968.

It was AI-generated and showed Dr. King posing with the "Pound Town" rapper in what appeared to be a nightclub.
