Sexyy Red met Green Day for the first time at the 2025 iHeartRadio Awards.
The rapper shared a quick video with the legendary rock band backstage at the show. In the nine-second clip, she is seen having a conversation with them, and at one point, Billie Joe Armstrong says to her, "You smell good."

In another fun moment of the night, Green Day accepted the award for Alternative Artist of the Year. Billie Joe Armstrong’s acceptance speech was a hilarious, modified version of the one Mark Wahlberg’s character, Dirk Diggler, gave in Boogie Nights.
Last month, Sexyy Red revealed that her son listens to her music on YouTube. "They don't sit down [and] just play it, but my son—y'all know how kids just be scrolling on YouTube and stuff,” she said. “I'll be sitting there, and then I hear my song playing, like, 'How did you end up on the video of my song?'"
"They know my music like, if I play my song or something, they know my voice. They look up like, 'Mama, that's you,’” she continued.
Sexyy also recently explained her relationship with fame in an interview with Dazed. “Trying to live a normal life is difficult when you’re famous,” she said. “Sometimes y’all be so annoying. If you see me with my babies bagging up groceries, then get the fuck away from me. No photos!”
"I feel like with me, the more famous I get, the more people will see me as a threat,” she added. “As I get bigger and more viral, there’s going to be more and more people who want to harm me, 100 percent.”
In the same interview, she also spoke about racial profiling from police in her hometown. “The police in St. Louis just shot another Black kid dead the other day. That shit’s so wrong,” she said. “When I go back home, there are usually two outcomes [when I am stopped in traffic]: they either like your music and want to tell you about their kids being fans, or they choose to mess with you even more [now you’re this celebrity]! Sometimes they pick on me or just fuck with me for fun. They like to remind you of where you are. It’s all about reinforcing their position [of power].”
