Sha’Carri’s social media game is strong. But this backfired after she liked a fan’s tweet in August of 2021 that trolled Jamaican athlete Fraser.
In the 100m race, the Jamaican star had finished at the last position and one of the fans had tweeted how Shelly looked like a popular rapper, Lil Wayne. Richardson liked the tweet, probably forgetting that the internet would be able to find this out. The Twitterati was enraged and fans called her out.

Richardson’s many controversies
For Sha’Carri, controversy never seems to come to an end. She was dropped from the US team after she tested positive for a drug. But, that did not keep her quiet. She rather used that opportunity to compare her situation with athlete Kamila Valieva, who had also tested positive.
