TLC singer Chilli, born Rozonda Thomas, has defended herself against accusations of being "MAGA" after she inadvertently reposted a Michelle Obama conspiracy theory on social media. The Independent reported that Chilli had donated over $1,000 to Republican-linked fundraisers and Trump reelection efforts in 2024, including $340 to Trump National Committee JFC. Chilli stated in a video statement that she had no idea she was reposting the Obama video until she began receiving calls and texts. She also stated that she thought she was donating to military veterans but did not read the fine print. The controversies came just days after TLC announced they would perform on the "It's Iconic" Tour.
