Yeah another notable male rap figure is partaking in the timeless trend of speaking on how women rappers present themselves — but this time the criticism comes from a surprising source. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.

During an appearance on Hot 97.5’s “Mike P Podcast,” The “In Da Club” artists expressed his frustration with the current crop of women’s rappers, saying they’re “damaging female culture.” He referenced his own sexually suggestive songs, explaining that he didn’t come out and say exactly what was on his mind. You can see his comments at the 29:30 mark.

“I was doing ‘Candy Shop’ and ‘Magic Stick,’ like metaphors for sexual experiences. [Women rappers] are flat-out saying the experience in the music now,” Jackson said. “What they was saying is really hitting… because it’s that graphic right now. I think it’s fun, which is why I think the females are enjoying it and why they out partying.”

The “Power” producer went on to explain that he thinks “the standard” for women rappers “is not as high.” It feels like he could say the same for young male rappers, nut the whole music world doesn’t stop to comment if they openly express their sexuality.

“For you to come in as a female artist and say, ‘What do [I] have to do to cut through…? Really one joint will get them to [that] place,” he said.

Meanwhile, GloRilla and Sexyy Red — two of the women at the center of the sexy-rapper conversation — interviewed one another for XXL Magazine. They got right to the point, calling all the critics “haters.” Red noted how sexual content is fine when men do it, but “it’s wrong when we do it.” The discussion starts at the 9:35 mark.

In the past, 50 Cent has received backlash for using the “angry Black women” trope to criticize those who have negative opinions of Black men who date outside their race. He later walked those comments back, but it was still upsetting. Since this happened in the summer of 2020, the world had other concerns and people moved on.
