Cheryl “Salt” James is speaking out as the Chilli Trump donations controversy continues to spark debate online. She recently jumped on Instagram to defend TLC’s Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, who has been dealing with a wave of online backlash over past political donation records.
After Chilli spoke up to clarify that she isn’t MAGA and explained the misunderstanding behind the filings, Salt decided it was time to shut down the negativity.
In a heartfelt comment, Salt told the “No Scrubs” singer to keep her head high, pointing out how fast people are to judge someone before getting the full story. She didn’t hold back, calling the backlash a form of bullying and reminding everyone that their bond is way deeper than the hate.
“Please keep your pretty head all the way up sister, this world is very quick to believe anything and everything posted on social media. Quick to crucify and slow to forgive. Even when you straighten it out haters will always hate. We know you and your heart. I truly pray that you don’t shed not one tear or lose not one minute of sleep or peace over any of this. We got you and any threat of not coming to the show from anyone will not stop us from loving on you and supporting you as a person and your legacy in music. This is the type of bullying we as a people have to stand up to. Whoever comes to see us GREAT and whoever doesn’t will miss something special, powerful sisters coming together. POSITIVE VIBES ONLY!!! Continue to let your light shine QUEEN!!!”
Salt’s message shows that the 90s icons are sticking together, no matter what people are saying in the comments section. She noted that even when someone tries to “straighten it out,” some people just want to keep hating, but that won’t stop the show.
With the air cleared and Salt coming to her defense, these two are moving past the drama and keeping their eyes on the prize. It’s all about “positive vibes only” from here on out, and for the fans still rocking with them, you can expect these two legends to be more united than ever for their tour.
