Trick Daddy has threatened to leave his native Florida after PornHub is likely to be blocked in the state in the new year.
Venting his frustration on Instagram Live, the 50-year-old rapper said: “Y’all take PornHub off the internet in Florida, I’m out of here. I love y’all but if they take PornHub out of Florida, I’m out of here, I swear to God. I’m gone. 14 days.”
He affirmed: “If you get rid of PornHub, it’s a Florida without the Trick Daddy Dollar.”
PornHub users in Florida face the prospect of being unable to access the website in 2025 after the world’s largest adult film site refused to comply with a new state law.
Starting on January 1, the Sunshine State will require users on all pornographic websites to verify their age before they can access the platforms.
A trade group representing various porn brands has filed a lawsuit trying to strike down the law on free speech grounds.
PornHub has already blocked access in 12 states: Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
A statement on PornHub’s website reads: “Did you know that your government wants you to give your driver’s license before you can access PORNHUB? As crazy as that sounds, it’s true. You’ll be required to prove you are 18 years or older such as by uploading your government ID for every adult content website you’d like to access.”
The site adds: “We don’t want minors accessing our site and think preventing that from happening is a good thing. But putting everybody’s privacy at risk won’t achieve that.”
Trick Daddy isn’t the only rapper who has confessed to having love for the porn site. Kanye West was previously given a lifetime membership by PornHub.
While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2018, Ye was asked if having daughters had changed his view of women, to which he fired back: “Nah, I still look at PornHub.”
PornHub responded to the shoutout by saying: “We want to extend our appreciation to a Mr. @kanyewest for his loyalty to us over the years. A gift in the form of a free lifetime premium membership. Here’s to you, Ye.”
