Janelle Monae Shuts Down Twitter Troll

Janelle Monáe quickly shut down an Internet troll who sent her a hateful message on Twitter.

"@JanelleMonae girl stop being so soulful and be sexy," the user, who has since made his page private, wrote. "Tired of those dumba--suits … you fine but u too damn soulful man."

Monáe responded, "@mellow_saa sit down. I'm not for male consumption."

The 29-year-old singer is known for wearing black and white pantsuits — her way of paying homage to the uniforms she and her family had to wear in various service worker jobs before she acquired fame.

"When I started my musical career I was a maid, I used to clean houses," she said during her acceptance speech at 2012's Black Girls Rock! where she received the Young Gifted and Black Award.

"My parents — my mother was a proud janitor, my stepfather who raised me like his very own worked at the post office and my father was a trash man," the "Yoga" singer continued. "They all wore uniforms. And that's why I stand here today in my black and white and I wear my uniform to honor them."

The Kansas City, Kan., native grew up in Wyandotte County, "the poorest county," she added. "This is a reminder that I have work to do, I have people to uplift, I have people to inspire."
