Sha’Carri Richardson recently participated in the Prefontaine Classic, and she faced off against three Jamaican athletes, including Elaine Thompson-Herah, who bested Richardson. Unfortunately for Richardson, she went viral after placing last in the race. Following the race, Richardson noted it was a comeback race for her after not running for a month and that she would be back. Now, Tory Lanez has taken to the internet to defend Richardson following the backlash she’s received.
Via Twitter, Lanez said, “Sha’carri ran a great race, not because she Won or lost … because through all the adversity she got up and RAN AGAIN, and GAVE IT HER ALL … she went through a lot of within that last month … n****s be on the app preaching all this “uplift” our queens .. Then tear em down … It be cool to support n****s when they get a video with Kanye tho…”
