SeaWorld continues to trend with its classic Hip Hop concerts, featuring its latest performer<\/a>, the Baddest Chick herself, Trina<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Miami native headlined a weekend show at the amusement park in San Diego brought big crowds, loud cheers, and sharp backlash from animal rights activists. Controversy followed Trina from the moment the booking was announced. Speaking after the set, she admitted she was torn when the offer came in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was excited, but I was like, SeaWorld? How do you perform at SeaWorld? This is like a theme park with kids,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

That hesitation only grew when PETA reached out with what she called \u201caggressive\u201d messages, pushing her to pull out. According to Trina, the group told her, \u201cWe love you as an artist, we respect you, but you can\u2019t perform.\u201d PETA had contacted her months earlier, asking her to cancel and publicly commit to avoiding the park altogether.<\/p>\n

Trina ultimately chose to keep the date. Her set mixed her own hits with tracks from rising stars like GloRilla<\/a> and Sexyy Red<\/a>, whose music she uses to hype up crowds. \u201cWhen it\u2019s time for crowd participation, I always go to the new girls coming up,\u201d she said. \u201cI love it. Because I know how that was when I started. And these little girls, I love them\u2026 They have come and dominated the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trina\u2019s SeaWorld Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

SeaWorld San Diego<\/a> president Tyler Carter pushed back against criticism over the park\u2019s treatment of marine life. \u201cThe biggest thing we say is come check it out for yourself,\u201d he told VIBE<\/a>. Carter stressed their mission of education and conservation, insisting that many critics misunderstand their operations. \u201cWe have a lot of information about what we do, and really, just come see it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The uproar over Trina\u2019s performance is part of an ongoing battle between SeaWorld and activists who oppose animal captivity. The park has faced decades of scrutiny over its orca and dolphin programs, but continues to book high-profile acts. Just last month, Soulja Boy<\/a> and Bow Wow<\/a>\u2019s joint show there went viral for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n

For Trina, Saturday night was about delivering for her fans. Whether the decision sparks lasting fallout remains to be seen, but she left San Diego with the crowd on her side\u2014and PETA still watching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SeaWorld continues to trend with its classic Hip Hop concerts, featuring its latest performer, the Baddest Chick herself,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":146849,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[171,975,50,47551,22720,86790,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-146848","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-peta","12":"tag-seaworld","13":"tag-trina","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115030819098053814","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
