Unknown musician claims to receive death threats after wearing "Build the Wall" dress to Grammies
Joy Villa opened up about being subjected to "hatred" and "racism" after hitting the 61st annual Grammy Awards red carpet sporting a bold gown inspired by President Donald Trump's campaign promises.
Villa, 32, is a singer who makes music within a variety of genres. Her most recent EP, titled January 2018's Home Sweet Home, was categorized as pop on iTunes. However, she's primarily garnered headlines for her controversial and head-turning Grammys red carpet looks.
On Sunday, Villa dressed as a barbed wire border wall. The white and silver gown read: "Build the wall." She accompanied her look with a silver crown and a red purse that boasted Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again." Villa's look attracted backlash on social media.
"The amount of sheer hatred, racism & violent ignorance thrown at me for wearing my support would be heartbreaking if it weren’t so over the top hilarious," Villa tweeted Monday. "I've only been called a 'nappy headed n*****' or 'monkey face' by POC."
Villa's tweet included the hashtags #lovingliberals and #thelovingleft. Her tweet also contained screenshots of aggressive Instagram DMs she received from opposers. One person referred to her as a " n***** ugly nappy headed h**." A second individual took their disdain a step further by saying: "I hope someone runs you over."
Before sharing the backlash she's received over her controversial Grammys look, she took to Twitter on Sunday to address how she's willing to stand by her conservative politics.
"I don't care what anyone thinks. I 100% support the wall & our President @realDonaldTrump," she tweeted. "Do you want more drugs brought in? (70% of heroin from Mexico) More illegal women getting sexually assaulted (1 in 3)? More children being trafficked? (Thousands a year) because I DO NOT."
