The mother of Tamir Rice has publicly accused several high-profile social justice activists of exploiting controversial killings of Black people for financial gain.

Samaria Rice, whose 12-year-old son was killed in 2014 after a police officer shot him within seconds of seeing him in a Cleveland park, sounded off on social media Sunday night and into Monday with a variety of posts that seemed to be primarily aimed at Tamika Mallory but also included prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump and others.

Her outburst on Facebook seemed to be prompted by Mallory’s appearance at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

“I have tried to stay off this shit,” Rice posted before apparently misspelling Mallory’s first name.

“Tamike and the crew you bitches chasing clout along with, Sonney, Crump , and Lee,” Rice added.

It was unclear who “Sonney” referred to, but she was talking about prominent civil rights attorney Lee Merritt.

“Yall have literally fuck our fight up i hope not another family soul used yall to represent them…,” Rice added. “Yall might ass well be junior pigs cops…..”

In subsequent Facebook posts, Rice wrote that she was “tired of you black lives matters” and named “Mallory and crew” while directing expletives at her and the aforementioned lawyers.

A common refrain among the social media posts was Rice saying how none of the people she named have “lost anything in this fight.

Mallory appeared on the Grammy telecast during rapper Lil Baby’s performance that included the activist demanding social justice from the Biden administration.

“So many people are looking for institutions like the Grammys to step to the plate and to allow us to voice the real true deep feelings that so many communities are trying to process every days,” Mallory said during the performance.

This is a developing story that will be updated as additional information becomes available.
