Ineitha Lynnette Hardaway and Herneitha Rochelle Hardaway Richardson, known as Diamond and Silk, became household names during Trump’s 2016 Presidential Election. The duo was known for their political commentary and vlog. Following the 2016 election, Diamond and Silk continued to build their awareness by speaking at rallies, conducting interviews, and constantly criticizing the democratic party and progressives.
Most recently, the duo campaigned on Twitter for former President Donald Trump to become the Republican House Speaker after the party struggled to elect a speaker last week. In November of 2022, Silk took to social media to ask for prayers for Diamond as she was battling an unknown illness. At the time of the announcement, some reporters began speculating the outspoken Trump supporter was fighting COVID. However, this information was never confirmed.
Anyone who believes in the power of prayer please pray for Diamond
