A verified Twitter account for pro-Trump commentators Diamond and Silk announced Monday night that Diamond died at 51.
Donald Trump also shared the news on his Truth Social platform Monday, calling her death “really bad news for Republicans.”
“Really bad news for Republicans and frankly, ALL Americans. Our beautiful Diamond, of Diamond and Silk, has just passed away at her home in the State she loved so much, North Carolina,” Trump wrote.
He continued, “Silk was with her all the way, and at her passing. There was no better TEAM anywhere, or at any time! Diamond’s death was totally unexpected, probably her big and precious HEART just plain gave out. Rest In Peace our Magnificent Diamond, you will be greatly missed!”
According to reports, the Diamond and Silk Twitter account requested prayers for Diamond in late November, but it was unclear why.
“Anyone who believes in the power of prayer, please pray for Diamond,” the account tweeted.
When Trump ran for president in 2016, the two women gained attention by supporting him on their YouTube channel. After being lifelong Democrats, the two say they switched parties to support Trump after he announced his presidential candidacy in 2015.
