A$AP Rocky Says Women Should Take Him Shopping Based On His Looks: ‘I’m a Bad B—-h’

A$AP Rocky said he thinks of himself as a gorgeous woman who should be pampered. At least when it comes to buying him things.

The Harlem rapper stopped by “The Angie Martinez Show” and spoke about Yams Day, the annual New York concert that celebrates his fallen comrade A$AP Yams. He also went into his love for fashion and newfound sobriety.

But one part that’s getting a lot of attention is when Rocky talked about women taking him shopping because of his looks.

“I think girls should take me shopping and that’s not me trying to sound cool or cocky, I really do believe that,” he explained. “Because I’m handsome. I’m a bad b-tch, in that term, you know what I’m saying?”

“They have to know it if they f—ing with me,” he added. “Like one of those situations where I don’t want nothing from you if you don’t want nothing from me besides good company, great sex and inspiration.”

Rocky’s stance undoubtedly sparked a lot of comments and some found it to be off-putting.

“Soon as he said ‘I believe girls should take me shopping’ I was like ‘I heard all I needed to hear.’ On to the next,” one woman wrote.

“He was cute up until this post,” wrote another.

But other people understood his point, although they may not have loved the way he worded it.

“What he basically [was] saying is if we can take a female out and spend all this money on them to spoil them, why can’t they do the same to us?” someone asked. “Isn’t a relationship supposed to be 50/50?”

“He said it twisted, but we get what he’s saying,” another person wrote. “Take care of your dude just like you want him to take care of you. Sounds cool to me.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
