Trick Daddy is unbothered and undeterred from his stance that he is not an “African American,” which rankled the sensibilities of many Black citizens.

Last week, Trick Daddy said, “I’m trying to figure out how ‘Afro’ get in front of my motherf——g race,” Trick Daddy says in the clip. “I never been to Africa. Afro or Africa, never been there. I’m not from Africa.”


After emerging from under the avalanche of criticism over the past several days for declaring that he is an “American,” Trick Daddy, 50, doubled down on his sentiments.

What is wrong with you n—-s?!”
