Chamillionaire Calls Out Fans For Buying Into Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric

It’s been a while since we’ve heard Chamillionaire on the radio, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been making big moves. Recently, the “Ridin’ Dirty” rapper donated some money to the family of a Mexican immigrant who was deported after living in the states for decades. Though he received a lot of praise, he also received a significant amount of backlash from fans who don’t understand “why a black man would want to help Mexicans.”

Chamillionaire took his Instagram in a video, explaining his personal history with Mexican folks in his native Texas, and why we can’t allow ourselves to believe that we’re separate from each other.
