Tamir Rice’s Mother Calls Out Tamika Mallory & Others After Lil Baby’s Grammy Performance
Tamir Rice’s mother was not a fan of Lil Baby’s Grammy performance and she took to social media to express her anger. Lil Baby’s performance of his hit song “The Bigger Picture” featured activists Tamika Mallory and Killer Mike. But it was Tamika that Samaria Rice called out saying, “Look at this clout chaser did she lose something in this fight i don’t think so. That’s the problem they take us for a joke that’s why we never have justice cause of shit like this.”
Tamika Mallory wasn’t the only person Samaria had words for. In another post she said, “Tamike and the crew you bitches chasing clout along with Sonney, Crump, and Lee. Y’all have literally fuck our fight up i hope not another family soul used y’all to represent them. Y’all might as well be junior pigs cops… I’m mad as yell”.
What did Lil Baby have to say about his Grammy performance? “My performance is important to me and I had to make sure it was right. Nominations aside, actually performing ‘The Bigger Picture’ means the most to me. I paint pictures with my songs and wanted the performance to bring that picture to life. Just like with the song, this performance had to reflect the real. No sugar-coating. My family, my fans and my city know who I do this for.”
In November 2014, Tamir Rice was murder by Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann. The 12 year old was playing in the park. No federal criminal charges were brought up against Loehmann or his partner Frank Garmbark. Check out the full performance below.
