A$AP Rocky caused an uproar recently within the black female community over remarks he made during an interview with The Coveteur when he stated that he felt as though black women shouldn't wear red lipstick. He was ripped by fellow Harlem native Azealia Banks, and also received shots from Trina Toccara for his comments.
A$AP chopped it up with Washington D.C.'s 93.9 WKYS recently to speak his mind on the feminine uproar that has come his way from the lipstick comment, and explained that he has love for black women considering the fact that he comes from a black family and community, but that he understands how he thinks they can be sensitive to the topic of appearances.
"It was these Canadian White girls interviewing me. They was like 'What colors do you think would be bad on what girls?' and I was just said maybe like a girl that's Wesley Snipes' complexion would look funny with red lipstick, and a girl that really fair-skinned would look funny with orange, or purple lipstick.
"Black girls just, ah man, went crazy. They just took it how they took it. This is actually my second time talking about it cause I really didn't even look at it as an issue. If people get upset at that I think it's petty at the same time. It's like they damn near wanna Rick Ross boycott me right now over some lipstick controversy! Black girls, you know how sensitive they are, but they our sisters man. I come from a Black home, so I know how sensitive Black women can be. Especially when you talking about they looks or something like that...cuz then you're a womanizer or you're a racist. I don't know how I'm be a racist, I gotta wake up and look at my Black a** everyday. I'm proud to be Black I wouldn't want it no other way."
