Mixed reactions online
Her post quickly went viral, with users divided over her decision. While some supported her stance, noting that welfare initiatives are sometimes abused, others criticized her for being judgmental and insensitive.
One user countered:
“You can’t wait to want to be socially correct to be a kind person. What she deems a blessing in her experience is not up for your own judgment. Her story could also teach us that perhaps educating and orienting women is more important than supplying them hand-outs.”
Raye claps back
Unfazed by the backlash, Corper Raye doubled down, insisting she was only venting her frustration. She lashed out at critics in a fiery response:
“One thing about me is I don’t care what society thinks. I’ve been called rude, stubborn, and all sorts of names. Do you think I give AF? This was me just venting. So many things I’ve done behind closed doors that I never mentioned. I was just frustrated and venting. That aside, you are mentally not okay. Stupid MFs always waiting to criticize me for existing and tweeting like everyone else. You hate that my tweet gets people talking and not yours? Nonsense behavior.”
Her blunt remarks have since fueled further debate, with many calling the incident another example of her unfiltered online persona.
