    Sexyy Red to throw out first pitch at Milwaukee Brewers game

    Editor’s note: Sexyy Red’s show at the Fiserv Forum on September 9, mentioned in this story, has since been canceled “due to unforeseen circumstances.”

    Rising hip-hop star Sexyy Red will stop by the Milwaukee Brewers baseball stadium on Sunday to throw out a ceremonial first pitch, the baseball club announced via social media on Wednesday.

    The Journal Sentinel has reached out to the Brewers to see if that’s still the case following the cancellation of Red’s Fiserv Forum show scheduled for Monday. Check back later for updates.

    On Sept. 8 — the day Red is scheduled to throw that pitch — the Brewers will take on the Colorado Rockies at 1:10 p.m. at American Family Field. That’s also the date of the Jackson Chourio bobblehead giveaway for the first 30,000 ticketed fans through the gates, according to the Brewers’ website.

    Tickets for the game are available here and range from $22 to $218 (excluding gate fees).

    On September 9, Red was set to bring her “Sexyy Red 4 President Tour” to the home of the Bucks with special guests Kodak Black, Hunxho, Loe Shimmy and BlakeIANA! That show was canceled “due to unforeseen circumstances,” according to the event page on the arena’s website.

    “If you purchased your ticket at the Fiserv Forum box office or online through Ticketmaster, refunds will be processed automatically and returned to you within 30 days,” the website states.

    In 2023, Drake, Nicki Minaj and SZA all shed light on Red, from song collaborations to tours, according to a previous Journal Sentinel report. It helped the St. Louis native become one of the year’s biggest hip-hop breakthroughs.

    Red’s hits include the career-launching hit “Pound Town” and the TikTok sensation “SkeeYee.”

    After opening for Moneybagg Yo at Fiserv Forum in August 2023, Red — born Janae Nierah Wherry — headlined The Rave in November. In Piet Levy’s review of the show, he described Red as raw, defiant, idiosyncratic, confident, authentic and relatable.

    It was also during that show that Red gave Certified Trapper — the king of Milwaukee’s driving low-end — and Chicken P — arguably the rapper in town whose wildly popular YouTube videos helped bolster one of the country’s most energetic hip-hop scenes — a moment in what Levy described as “an admirable and surprising gesture.”

    Piet Levy and Chris Foran of the Journal Sentinel editorial team contributed to this report.
