Lil Mama Defends Her Right To Wear Yeezys After Someone Tells Her That ‘Kanye West Is Cancelled’

Lil Mama didn’t like someone criticizing her or Kanye West, and she quickly shut that person down.

A video recently surfaced of the “Lip Gloss” rapper showing off her outfit, which included a white fur coat, a green sweatsuit and West’s Yeezy sneakers.

Lil Mama defended herself after someone criticized her for wearing Yeezys.

“Got the Yeezys? Do you got the fox? Do you got the drip?” said Lil Mama as she gripped her necklace.

A lot of folks admired what Lil Mama wore except for the Yeezys, since the Chicago producer has been ultra-supportive of Donald Trump, donned a MAGA on several occasions and made headlines when he said slavery was a choice.

“Kanye is cancelled, sis,” he or she wrote. “But you look cute.”

Mama then made the point that some people who’ve boycotted West still give their money to other companies when they’ve been called racist.

“But then the same self-righteous Blacks go out and buy from all types of racist, high-end label/brands, eat at their restaurants and pay rent to live in their residential establishments,” she wrote. “So I wear what I want. I’ll deal with Ye when I seen him. He needs a hug.”

For years now, since she jumped onstage during Jay-Z and Alicia Keys‘ performance at the 2009 MTV Awards, Lil Mama hasn’t had the easiest time on social media and has often been clowned. But people really liked what she had to say about West and gave her a lot of praise.

“Facts,” someone wrote. “Y’all will support racist white owned companies. Keep that same energy or shut up.”.

“So we’re supposed to turn our backs on all Black men?” one person asked. “There’s a new target every week. No one is safe if you’re Black.”

But there were also those who refused to side with the “Growing Up Hip-Hop: Atlanta” star and said they’re not going to support West regardless of she says.

“She made some points but that doesn’t mean we have to support him,” someone wrote. “There are non racist and non self hating individuals whose businesses we can support.”

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.
