A recently surfaced post on the \u201cNo Scrubs\u201d singer\u2019s social media account prompted fans to dive deep and wonder whether Chilli\u2019s support for Republican figures had been hiding in plain sight.<\/p>\n
Rozonda \u201cChilli\u201d Thomas<\/a> caught the ire of social media earlier this week after longtime fans of TLC accused the singer of being MAGA.<\/p>\n Those accusations turned up a notch following a recent Medias News<\/a> report, highlighting campaign donations made by the \u201cNo Scrubs\u201d singer to political action committees tied to President Donald Trump, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and other GOP-affiliated groups.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0FEC filings<\/a>, donations from Rozonda Thomas of Stone Mountain, Georgia, total $897.14 and include 17 donations made between April 2024 and November 2024. The majority of the donations were made to WinRed and Never Surrender Inc, with three donations made to the Trump National Committee PAC.<\/p>\n The donations discovery comes as social media users on Threads found a screenshot of Thomas\u2019 Instagram account, which shared a debunked post claiming that former First Lady Michelle Obama was a transgender man who was registered to vote in elections in Illinois in 1994. The post was deleted from her page.<\/p>\n Fans continued to dig deeper into the alleged ties between Thomas and MAGA, as a scan of her\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and Instagram showed that she followed several notable MAGA influencers, including Donald Trump Jr., the news network NewsMax and Dean Cain. On Instagram, those follows include Florida gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds and other MAGA content creators.<\/p>\n Thomas would not be the first notable celebrity to donate to Trump or support him. Recently, Nicki Minaj considered herself one of Trump\u2019s strongest supporters, including making appearances at\u00a0several of his events<\/a>. At the White House\u2019s recent Black History Month event<\/a>, Trump thanked Minaj during a speech.<\/p>\n Chilli has not addressed the controversy, as TLC recently performed at the iHeartRadio Music Awards alongside Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue. The groups are set to hit the road in the summer for the \u201cIt\u2019s Iconic Tour.\u201d The 30-plus date tour kicks off in Franklin, Tennessee, on August 15 and criss-crosses the country before wrapping up in Concord, California, on October 11.<\/p>\n More must-reads:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A recently surfaced post on the \u201cNo Scrubs\u201d singer\u2019s social media account prompted fans to dive deep and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":551912,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[12,10670,88,245438,462,245437,108,57254],"class_list":["post-551911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-donald-trump","tag-donald-trump-jr","tag-entertainment","tag-first-lady-michelle-obama","tag-maga","tag-rozonda-thomas","tag-social-media","tag-tlc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551911\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
