Recently, legendary producer and musician Teddy Riley faced backlash online after he left a comment on Donald Trump’s Instagram in support of the former president. The message from Trump in the caption of a photo he posted said, “I AM AN INNOCENT MAN. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS TOTALLY CORRUPT. THIS IS ELECTION INTERFERENCE & CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!

Now, Riley has addressed the backlash. While speaking to The Shade Room, Riley said his support of Trump stems from the former president granting clemency to his brother Lou Hobbs, who was serving a double life sentence. As a result, Hobbs was freed from prison. 

Riley said Trump showed him “how to be a free man of this country.” The producer said the former president “can do something amazing for us because he did it for Africa while he was in office.” Stay tuned for more updates.
