“Gangsta” singer Kehlani went viral over the weekend after keeping her cool during an exchange with a social media influencer at a Starbucks drive-thru.
Kehlani was confronted by Christian Walker, son of Senate candidate and former NFL player Herschel Walker. Christian recorded the entire altercation while the two were in their cars in a Starbucks drive-thru in Los Angeles.
“If you can have an opinion, I can have an opinion, ma’am” Walker said towards the end of the viral video.
The viral video currently has over 2 million views. While it’s unclear why Walker got out of his car and begin recording — Kehlani did respond in a since-deleted video.
Kehlani who uses the pronouns they/them called walker a “Republican Trump supporter kid” as she watched him recording the rainbow flags that were on display at the Starbucks.
“I see Walker in my review mirror losing his s**” Kehlani said in the two and a half minute video as she told their side of the story.
“You wanna get a reaction out of me so that you can go viral and then you can post this as some kind of take on people with my political stance, or assumed political stance, and people from my community, people like me. Lo and behold!”
Walker is no stranger to going viral for his often controversial views and political opinions. On Twitter, he refers to himself as “free-speech radicalistic” and has gone after President Joe Biden, the Black Live Matter movement and others.
