Luther Campbell penned an open letter to Nick Cannon and TLC’s Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas after they came out as Trump supporters.

Chilli recently claimed she’s not a President Trump supporter despite online records showing she donated to his reelection campaign in 2024.

Chilli also claimed she accidentally reposted a meme about former first lady Michelle Obama that claims she’s a man.

“I WANT TO BE CLEAR: I am not MAGA and do not support any of the many policies that are causing great harm to the American people,” Chilli wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday.

Chilli insisted she thought she was donating to stop human trafficking and to a veterans organization.

“I made a mistake too many make: I did not read the fine print. I thought I was supporting causes against human trafficking and for veterans.”

Nick Cannon recently came out as a Trump supporter.

“People don’t know that Democrats are the party of the KKK,” he said in a video on the Big Drive Show YouTube channel. “People don’t know that Republicans are the party that freed the slaves.”

“Let the adult in the room speak,” Luther wrote in his open letter to Nick and Chilli on Monday.

“To Nick Cannon and Chilli — I say this with love, but also with truth. What y’all are saying right now… in my opinion… is dead wrong. Now let me be clear — I’m the one who fought all the way to the Supreme Court for free speech. So I respect your right to say whatever you want. That’s a fact.

But this hits different.”

Luther told Nick and Chilli that the same Black people they’re turning they’re backs on are “the same people who built you.”

“They buy your tickets. They watch your shows. They support your careers. And now you’re aligning with a man — Donald Trump — who has openly disrespected Black women, including Michelle Obama, and countless other accomplished Black women.”

Luther accused Trump of trying “to erase Black history” and “limiting what our children can learn. So don’t act like this is just politics. This is personal.”

“Nick, you were right about one thing — yes, a Republican president signed the law freeing enslaved Africans. That’s history. But you left out everything that happened AFTER that.

You left out where today’s MAGA movement stands. You left out who has consistently fought for civil rights, voting rights, and opportunity.

If it was left up to them right now, they’d take us backwards — not forward.

And let’s be real…
If they truly cared about Black people — about Foundational Black Americans, descendants of slaves — we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.

We’d be talking about reparations.”

Luther concluded: “Make sure you’re on the right side of history.”
