Shameless influencer caught during Philly riots begs fans for cash as a ‘welcome home’ gift

The shameless influencer arrested and charged with six felonies for her part in this week’s Philadelphia riots is begging fans for cash to hire a lawyer… and pay to get her toes painted.

Dayjia Blackwell – who goes by “Meatball” – took to Instagram live to not only give her side of the story, but to plug her Cash App handle for her fans to send her money as a “welcome home” gift.

“All I want to do is go treat myself,” she told more than 10,000 fans on Thursday on Instagram, mentioning multiple times she wants to go get her “toes done,” as well as her legal woes.

Blackwell, 21, spent “hours” in a holding cell after being arrested, said she was “traumatized” by the experience and wants to “cry” every time she thinks about it.

“I’m traumatized, I would never go back in my life,” she told her fans. “They’re trying to make somebody I wasn’t. They really did me dirty because of who I was. That was corny, that was corny.”

“Meatball” copped charges for causing/risking a catastrophe, criminal mischief, riot, aiding consummation, access to communication, and disorderly conduct, according to the Baltimore Police Department.
