Pop star\u00a0Lizzo<\/span>\u00a0has sparked an uproar after she promised that America would look like Detroit if\u00a0Kamala Harris<\/span>\u00a0was elected to the\u00a0White House<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The singer, 36, who hails from Motor City, appeared\u00a0alongside the Democratic presidential nominee at Western International High School\u00a0in the city.<\/p>\n

The star, real name\u00a0Melissa Viviane Jefferson, said: ‘I’m so proud to be from this city, you know they say if Kamala wins then the whole country will be like Detroit.<\/p>\n

‘Proud like Detroit, resilient like Detroit.\u00a0The same Detroit that innovated the auto industry and the music industry. Put some respect on Detroit’s name.’<\/p>\n

Her comments have since been blasted on social media after users pointed out that the city has been in a state of decay and decline for decades.<\/p>\n

Her comments have since been blasted on social media after users pointed out that the city has been in a state of decay and decline for decades<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One person wrote: ‘Regardless of Lizzo’s strenuous efforts to spin it, all that will be ringing in people’s subconscious is: “Kamala will turn America into impoverished, run down, and unsafe, Detroit”.’<\/p>\n

Another added: ‘If Kamala is elected the whole country Will look like Detroit. A decimated car industry.\u00a0 A top ten city in crime statistics.’<\/p>\n

One other commented: ‘So Lizzo just told us the entire country will go to hell just like Detroit if we vote for Kamala!’<\/p>\n

After the clip was widely shared on X, another said: ‘That was a Trump endorsement if I’ve ever had one. Lol.’<\/p>\n

The singer burst into her song ‘About Damn Time’ during the event after those who gathered at the rally shouted out that they couldn’t hear her.<\/p>\n

She appeared with the Vice President to host an event urging those in Michigan to get out and vote as the city’s first day of early voting started.<\/p>\n

Harris urged her supporters to put in an all-out effort aimed at winning on Election Day Nov. 5.<\/p>\n

She said: ‘And what I think we all know is, on Election Day, we don’t want to have any regrets about what we could have done these next 17 days, and on November 5.’<\/p>\n

Speaking with reporters, she added: ‘Donald Trump has proven himself to be increasingly unstable and unfit and he is trying to take us backward.’<\/p>\n

Just over a decade ago, the city filed for federal bankruptcy protection after a years-long financial crisis. The above image is from 2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Detroit had boasted around 1.8 million residents in the 1950s, but numbers\u00a0shrunk as tens of thousands of white residents fled to the suburbs<\/span>, followed years later by the Black middle class.<\/p>\n

These hardships spilled over into the 21st century as the auto industry shrunk and jobs dried up.<\/p>\n

Just over a decade ago, the city filed for federal bankruptcy protection after a years-long financial crisis.<\/p>\n

With debts topping $18 billion, the city\u00a0could no longer pay its bills and was unable to provide basic services<\/span>\u00a0to its residents.<\/p>\n

This sent thousands flocking elsewhere, and the city suffered an unprecedented population decline. Numbers fell to roughly 685,000 by the end of 2012.<\/p>\n

In recent years however it is slowly starting to revitalize itself, with jobs more readily available and property prices climbing.<\/p>\n

The city poured funds into infrastructure and building projects including the famous Michigan Central Station, which reopened in July after 30 years of laying vacant.<\/p>\n

It was one regarded as one of the most violent cities in America but crime rates have slowly\u00a0started to turn.<\/span><\/p>\n

The city finished 2023 with 252 homicides, the fewest recorded since 1966, and a 16 percent drop in nonfatal shootings, according to the Detroit Police Department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
