FABOLOUS GETS BACKLASH FOR SAYING WOMEN IN RAP FOCUS MORE ON SEX APPEAL THAN LYRICS

Fabolous recently stirred controversy with his remarks regarding female rap. In an interview, he expressed his thoughts on the current state of female artists in the genre, drawing criticism from both fans and fellow artists. While some argue that his comments were taken out of context, others view them as perpetuating harmful stereotypes and undermining the progress made by women in rap music. Fabolous suggested that female rappers are focused more on their image and sexuality rather than their lyrical prowess. He stated that female artists are using their sex appeal as a primary marketing strategy, which, according to him, overshadows their actual talent. “Love hearing the female rappers talking some real sitt,” Fab said. “Women are so strong, have so many stories and perspectives that we need to hear in pure form. “No disrespect to any of the female rappers out, but I think there’s only one style of female rap/hip hop being promoted, programmed, and looked at as successful now. These remarks ignited a backlash as many felt that he was disregarding the hard work and artistic abilities of female rappers who have achieved significant success.
