Bernice King, the daughter of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., has spoken up—and honestly, who can blame her? The civil rights leader’s legacy is sacred, and when people misuse his image for clout, it’s bound to spark outrage. This time, rapper Sexy Red found herself in the hot seat after using MLK’s image in a way many felt was disrespectful.

So, what happened? Sexy Red shared a post that featured Dr. King’s face alongside a joke that didn’t sit well with a lot of people, Bernice King included. ... tried to make light of something deeply serious—Dr. King’s lifelong fight for equality and justice—and turned it into a cheap punchline.

Bernice King didn’t hold back, and honestly, good for her. In a tweet that quickly went viral, she called out the rapper for crossing a line. She reminded everyone just how important her father’s work was and how his image should never be used casually or without thought.

Now, let’s talk about Sexy Red’s response. The ratchet rapper took down ... and apologized. While some praised the female rapper, saying it was all just a joke, others think this is a prime example of how younger generations can sometimes miss the mark when it comes to respecting historical icons.

At the end of the day, this situation is a reminder: Dr. King’s legacy isn’t just history; it’s a beacon for how we should treat each other. Using his image in a way that trivializes his work? That’s not it.

Let’s hope this sparks a larger conversation about why these icons matter and how we can honor them properly. What do you think—was Bernice right to call this out?
