""I earnestly wish that people would imagine what it would feel like to see their deceased, murdered father repurposed for party fliers, unjust legislation, etc," she said. And although she didn't agree with Sexyy's post, she defended the rapper from people calling her "trash" and "ghetto" and comparing her to her parents.
