Queen Ifrica is facing backlash after posting about late American political activist Charlie Kirk on the day of his funeral.
In her Instagram post, she wrote, “Are you really paying attention? If not you should. This is #CharlieKirk what do you know about him? Tell me I’m listening…”
The post triggered swift reactions online. One user highlighted a controversial Kirk quote, writing, “One of many quotes: If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, Boy I hope he’s qualified.” Another follower announced they were unfollowing the reggae star, to which Queen Ifrica responded, “Please hurry my dear.” The fan then replied, “Sure did… almost trip leaving.”
The incident echoes recent backlash faced by Buju Banton, who also posted in support of Kirk before deleting it. Mr. Vegas even called out Buju, claiming he was not representing Rastafari.
The question now is why Kirk’s ideology appears to resonate with both Buju and Queen Ifrica. Some point to his strong stance that there are only two genders, male and female. Others, however, highlight his controversial comments about Black people and his other divisive views.
Shortly after the uproar, Queen Ifrica shifted the conversation by promoting her new single “Everyone Wants Love.”
This has left fans asking was her Charlie Kirk post a genuine stance or a strategic setup to promote her music?
