What up guys, Frazier here for Complex News.
Raven-Symoné faced serious heat because of an Instagram post with questionable sentiments
regarding many hip-hop legends.
Raven re-posted a photo from the Roc Nation brunch that included T.I., Jay Z, Puffy, and
others.
The original post featured a caption that snidely criticized their success:
"A group of so-called 'successful' Black men (minus Khalid [sic] racially) who became rich
and famous from perpetuating the worst Black stereotypes to the ears and eyes of the whole
planet like drug dealing, pimping, murdering other Black men and disrespecting Black women.
I know, making observations is being a hater.
Cheers."
Raven added a set of emojis—the monocle, the mouthless face, and a yellow heart—that
suggested she agreed with the sentiment.
Needless to say...it didn't go over well.
Raven's comments promptly roasted her, and the ether continued over on The Shade Room.
Here's a sample comment.
Speaking your truth through the lyrics in your music is not perpetuating stereotypes,
if you took it as glorification of drugs, hoods, and gangs then you missed the message,
it was about showing the world what you had to go through, what you ACTUALLY had to go
through to make it to the very point you have arrived at in your life and career, raven
you have yet to experience hardship, so you are not qualified to speak on the "stereotypes"
that you claim they have perpetuated."
Another pointed out Raven's history of air-headed opinions on blackness.
"[L]ast time we all checked she told reporter that she wasn't African-American but she
was just American so technically she's been banned from the family cookouts forever ago."
Raven eventually deleted the offending post but stood by her opinion in a follow-up.
"Deleted my post because the comments were not something I want my underage followers
looking at.
I'm not deleting because I don't believe in what I said."
In summary: Raven's gonna Raven.
This is not the first boneheaded, cancel-worthy comment she's made, and it won't be the
last.
