Barbra Streisand dissed Donald Trump while quoting Memphis Bleek on Twitter.

Barbra Streisand called out Donald Trump on Twitter, earlier this week, amid his indictment for mishandling classified documents. In doing so, Streisand quoted lyrics from former Roc-A-Fella rapper Memphis Bleek. The lyrics come from his verse on Jay-Z's The Dynasty: Roc La Familia track, "1-900-Hustler." The song also features Beanie Sigel and Freeway.

"Trump is going to be indicted for stealing classified documents," Streisand wrote. "He is going crazy with his tweets urging his cult to 'FIGHT.' We remember what happened on January 6th. 'The strong are quiet, the weak start riots.' – Rapper Memphis Bleek[.]"

As for Trump's latest indictment, he faces 37 counts related to the mishandling of classified documents. Among the charges are counts of retaining classified information, obstructing justice, and making false statements, among others. The worst of the offenses carry prison sentences of up to 20 years. Trump responded to the indictment on Truth Social.

"We are watching our Republic DIE before our very eyes," he said in a statement posted on the site requesting campaign contributions. "The Biden-appointed Special Counsel has INDICTED me in yet another witch hunt regarding documents that I had the RIGHT to declassify as President of the United States. This witch hunt began when the FBI RAIDED my home and then staged it to look like a made-for-TV crime scene with police sirens and flashing red and blue lights. This is nothing but a disgusting act of Election Interference by the ruling party to ELIMINATE its opposition and amass total control over our country."
