Some of the performances on the BET Awards were sexually explicit, according to Lil Mama. Performances by Sexxy Red, Latto, and Ice Spice were allegedly ratcheted.
This is what Lil Mama shared in Dee-1’s DM’s,
“I turned on the award show and things I seen on the screen could make me cause of scene ’cause it was so obscene,” he raps as clips of performances from Sexyy Red, Latto, Ice Spice and more play. “We call women queens but we celebrate the prostitution of their bodies/I seen people thanking God but none of their music was godly.”
According to XXL Mag, Lil Mama is concerned about the messages female rappers are sending. Female rappers should be using their platforms for a more positive influence.
How about empowering young girls and teaching them moral standards? Too often, young girls see negative stereotypes and unhealthy competition.
Gone are the female rappers who talked about empowering each other. There was a sense of female rappers lifting each other rather than tearing each other down.
Exploring The Controversy Surrounding Nicki Minaj’s Influence
The controversy surrounding Nicki Minaj’s influence on young female artists has been debated in the music industry for years. While some fans and artists admire Nicki for her talent and trailblazing success.
Others criticize her for promoting a hypersexualized image and engaging in feuds with other artists. The debate raises essential questions about artists’ responsibility in shaping societal norms.
And today’s female artists influence the next generation of women. This has become problematic because young girls are influenced by female rappers when, in fact, they should be influenced by their parents.
As Lil Mama mentions, some of today’s female artists have allegedly become ‘musical prostitutes.’ In other words, female artists’ explicit lyrics and scandalous clothing promote promiscuity.
Furthermore, none of the female artists are promoting education. However, some may say it is the parent’s responsibility to provide guidance. Allowing their young girls to listen to hip-hop is the responsibility of the parents.
But it becomes difficult to monitor everything your children do. Especially since, almost everywhere you look, sexuality is promoted. We use sexually explicit content on social media, television, and rap music.
So, keeping young girls from listening to rap becomes virtually impossible. On the other hand, if we don’t understand the influence of today’s rap, things are going to get bad.
A generation of young girls may perpetuate a vicious cycle of sexual promiscuity. Therefore, it could lead to sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies.
At any rate, we must have conversations about today’s rap’s negative influence. Also, it may not be fair to say that Nicki Minaj has influenced the style of female rappers.
Truthfully, it may have been Lil Kim’s sexually explicit lyrics that started the trend. Nevertheless, it’s time to get a handle on this issue.
As the debate around representation and empowerment in hip-hop evolves, artists must consider the messages they send to their fans.
Whether fans agree with Lil Mama’s criticisms of Nicki Minaj, her willingness to speak out is dually noted.
