Basketball star Jahki Howard, a 19-year-old forward for the Auburn Tigers, was caught sliding into the DMs of transgender influencer Cherry Thee Boom.
On Wednesday, Cherry shared a screenshot of the alleged conversation on Instagram, revealing her frustration with men who struggle with their identity or sexuality. In her post, she made it clear that she does not tolerate “down low” men, regardless of their fame or attractiveness.
Cherry expressed her irritation, saying she’s not interested in men who don’t view trans women as women and don’t have genuine intentions. She criticized those who try to hide their messages or delete them, stating that money and fame won’t change her stance. “If you do not see trans women as women, stay the f*ck out of my inbox,” Cherry wrote.
Following the exposure, Howard deleted all of his social media accounts. The Auburn Tigers are a Division I team in the Southeastern Conference, and Howard is considered a rising star in college basketball.
