Sexyy Red On Critics Giving Female Rappers A Hard Time: “Y’all Some Haters”

Sexyy Red has some words for critics (and that includes her male rap counterparts) who are overly critical of female rappers.

As part of an XXL cover story featuring herself and GloRilla, Sexyy also did a video interview with the Glo, where the Memphis rapper asked Sexyy about the criticisms they — and other women in rap — face for their lyrics and other content.

“So, a lot of people give female rappers a hard time, saying we’re too sexual or over the top with lyrics and video content. What do you think when you hear that?” Glo asked.

“I think y’all some haters,” the “Pound Town” rapper replied. “And I think y’all don’t want y’all b**ches to shine because y’all insecure.”

“It ain’t a problem when y’all got your chest out and y’all little tiny d**k print showing and all that with your drawls sagging and your stanky ass out, doo-doo stains,” she continued. “It’s not a problem when y’all do it, but when we do it. … Y’all stealing our style. It’s better when we do it.”

In recent years, with the rise of more female rappers, their male counterparts have often sent tone deaf criticism their way for their music.

Recently, 50 Cent generalized contemporary female rap, saying, “I just want somebody to break [through] that is not trying to sell some box. I just need one!”

He also added that he believes that hyper-sexualized rap music “might be damaging female culture.”

These comments, often made by male rappers or rap figures (and men in general), tend to show a multitude of problems. From dismissing the women rappers who are dominating on a mainstream level and failing to find those more aligned with who you want to support (because they’re absolutely out there) to disregarding how your own lyrical content can — and likely has been — argued as damaging or harmful, it’s hard to take remarks like these as sincere or not.

Regardless, Sexyy, Glo and other women in rap will (and should) continue to do what they’re doing.
