Trick Daddy is keeping it all the way honest, and this time, the target is the thriller film Sinners.
During a resurfaced cooking interview with comedian Mike Epps that was originally shared in August, the Miami rap legend didn’t hold back when asked about the breakout film that’s been stirring up debate online. Trick said the movie left him baffled from start to finish.
“Yeah, I seen that confusing ass shit,” he told Epps while the two prepared food together. “I don’t want no movie that I got to sit there and try to figure it out.”
The rapper then compared the film’s layered storytelling to rappers who overload their verses with symbolism.
“That’s just like rappers with metaphors, fuck the metaphor,” Trick said. “Give me the hard lyrics, give me the facts, give me a good track, get a bad bitch in your video and that’s all I need. I don’t need all that. I’m telling you, I don’t need all that.”
Sinners is one of Ryan Coogler’s boldest creative swings yet. The film was released in 2025 and is a supernatural, historically rooted horror film set in 1932 Mississippi. Michael B. Jordan stars as twin brothers, Smoke and Stack, who return home to open a juke joint celebrating Black culture, music, and resilience amid an era marked by violence and oppression. Their return, however, leads them into a confrontation with a group of vampires who symbolize racism, exploitation, generational trauma, and the fight for Black identity in the Jim Crow South.
Coogler blends period drama, horror, musical elements, and surreal folklore, using vampire mythology as a lens for deeper cultural themes. The film’s nonlinear structure, symbolic storytelling, and heavy thematic layers have already sparked intense conversation among fans who see Sinners as one of Coogler’s most ambitious projects. But Trick Daddy made it clear that the movie’s complexity didn’t connect with him.
