Uncle Luke feels like the ladies burning up the Hip-Hop charts owe him money because of his Supreme Court victory.
For those who don’t know, Luther Campbell, aka Uncle Luke of 2 Live Crew fame, took the fight to create raunchy rap music to the Supreme Court in the 90s, and he won.
Now, Campbell feels all the ladies in Hip-Hop currently churning out hits owe him some money because he feels it’s because of him that they can rap about suggestive themes and do the things they like to do on stage.
On Monday, Campbell hopped on Instagram Live to give a backhanded compliment to the ladies of Hip-Hop by pointing out they are running the genre while the men are slacking. At the same time, he demanded rappers like Megan Thee Stallion, Ice Spice, and Sexxy Red send him money.
“Male rap is on some bulls**t right now,” Campbell said during the Instagram Live. “I’m sorry. The females are winning. They’re doing everything that I did. I’m still waiting for these girls to send me a f**king check.”
“I need a check from Ice Spice, who turns her a** around and drops it like it’s hot,” Uncle Luke said. “I need a check from Sexyy Red — nah, Red [is] my friend… All the f**king girls, Megan Thee Stallion. Anybody that’s running around shaking their a**es, talking about p**sy and d**k on the record, y’all need to send me a check.”
He followed that up by saying they don’t need to give money, but they do have to pay him his respect, adding that Sexxy Red already gave him his props. “The girls don’t need to give me a check. They need to pay respect. The only one who has is sexy Red. That’s my girl,” he wrote on X.
Users On X Disagree With Uncle Luke
None of the women he has mentioned have responded to him, and understandably so because they are quite busy. Each of them is coming off or currently on a tour and promoting new music.
Fans are stepping up to the plate for them, calling out Uncle Luke for his comments.
“He wants y’all to forget he was on here takin shots at Janelle Monae for showing a nipple. It’s like he loses sleep when he sees BW owning their sexual agency,” one person X, formerly Twitter, wrote.
We can’t argue with that.

St. Louis rapper Sexyy Red has never been one to leave much to the imagination. The 26-year-old is best known for her hit single, “Pound Town (featuring Tay Keith)” which featured lyrics describing some of her most intimate body parts.
Sexyy is bringing that same energy to her new lipgloss line with titles that are Not Safe For Work.
In an Instagram post announcing the launch, Sexxy Red posed in her usual sensual manner including one pic bent over with the box held up to her buttocks. She also posted a close-up of the glosses’ erotic names … which are “Coochie Juice,” “Bootyhole Brown,” “Nut,” “P***yhole Pink,” “Yellow Discharge,” “Gonorrhea,” “Blue Ballz,” and “Sex on the Beach” — which, according to TMZ, is fruit scented.
The comments on the post were plentiful with one user writing, simply, “Is she serious?”
Another comment referenced another social media trend noting that the names are “not very demure.”
The lipgloss will be the first product in Sexyy’s new business venture called Northside Princess.
On X (formerly Twitter) the reception to the product names wer also less than favorable.
The response wasn’t all bad. Some social media users pointed out that Sexxy has always sold lipgloss, by the same name, but that now she has a bigger platform.

Drake has been seen giving Sexxy Red a lot of gifts and public accolades – but Joe Budden isn’t so sure it’s genuine.
Drake has been spotted giving younger artists, primarily Sexxy Red a lot of support in recent months, calling her “my muse in this short and confusing life”.
The display has Joe Budden questioning the true motive behind it, even going so far as to suggest that Drake is getting financial compensation out of it. In the episode of his namesake podcast which last Thursday (March 28), Budden laid out his theory at the 2-hour mark of the show.
“Respectfully, it sound like a n*gga that could rap at that level that gets paid off of everybody’s deal tryna rap. That’s what it sound like to me. I’m not arguing with none of you n*ggas, I’m not trying to debate,” Budden said. That prompted a question from co-host Trevor “QueenzFlip” Robinson.
“Is this confirmed? Or is this just some inside sH*t that you sayin’?” Flip asked. “Oh, you think he just like being around Sexyy Red that much? I can name some more people.”
The comments caused a stir online, and Drake made it known that he got wind of the “Pump It Up” artist’s words in a highly public way. After his most recent It’s All a Blur Tour – Big As the What? concert tour stop, which was held at the UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. over the weekend, Drake posted a photo of Budden to his Instagram Stories with one question: “WHAT’S THE VIBES NY?!”
That same show, he also used his song “Energy” to direct some smoke toward Kendrick Lamar in response to his blistering verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That”, exclaiming “Fuck these n*ggas,” at the end [view the video here].
Sexxy Red issued her response to Budden’s claim, writing “They so dumb,” while quoting a post of the clip of Budden’s remarks.
Drake’s support of the “SkeeYee” rapper has been lavish, as she displayed in a post on X, formerly Twitter at the beginning of March where she posed with two of four Chanel bags that he apparently got her (they were in pink, purple, burgundy and black) along with $50,000 in cash. “Rich baby daddy gang, 50K n 4 Chanels fa a bad Bthc, Thank You Drake,” she wrote with heart and a kiss emojis.

Popular NBA 2K and GTA V streamer Adin Ross is out here lying on his nuts, allegedly.
Sexxy Red viciously shut down a claim on X, formerly Twitter, that she had sex with streamer Adin Ross. Speaking with DJ Akademiks on Kick, Ross spilled the beans about the alleged sexual encounter.
“I wanna announce something, but I dunno if I should say it. I did f*** Sexyy Red. It was good. It was really good. She was kinda being the dominant one,” Ross said.
For whatever reason, Ross shared too much information regarding a moment he had while watching the “Pound Town” rapper’s “leaked” sex tape, revealing, “I jerked off to it, and that’s what made me hit her up. I’m being for real.”
Ummmmm, okay.
Getting wind of his comments, Sexxy Red, at first hilariously, confirmed the encounter, writing in her X post, “You paid me to take yo virginity & I did just that… next.”
But she wasn’t done. She immediately followed up with adamant denial the two had sex with each other, writing in another post, “SIKE you couldn’t touch me wit ah stick.”
What’s even more funny is now people don’t believe her and have been in her comments telling her it’s too late to take back her initial response.
Whatever the case, we will take Sexxy Red’s word on this, just on the account that men love to lie about this topic.
Adin Ross’ History Headass Behavior
Ross has been in the news a lot lately. After making some comments about the couple, he’s had to apologize to Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori.
Per HipHopDX:
“I have to apologize. This message is straight to Ye’s wife Bianca because I just got an email about it,” he said.
“When I said that I had money for Ye to come on stream from Kick and Stake, I wasn’t saying, ‘Nobody is throwing money these days,’ as far as like, nobody is paying him. Obviously, he’s Ye, one of the biggest artists of all time.
“But I mean streaming platforms. Nobody is throwing money to anyone these days. Except for Kick. That’s all I meant.”
He continued: “I would love to have Ye come on stream. The offer still stands. Kick said it. I spoke to them a week ago about it. And, I’m sorry. I’m sorry publicly, all right, Bianca? Mrs. West and Mr. West, I’m sorry. We would love to have you on Kick.”
Adin Ross is also associated with alleged sex trafficker and f**kboi Andrew Tate and, per NBC News reporting, helped get Tate arrested after blabbing out his location.
Welp.

Whether on purpose or not, Trump-supporter Sexyy Red tends to do a lot of sharing on Instagram. For example, the “Pound Town” rapper is apparently pregnant—and she also has a thing for licking toes, allegedly.
You care.
As for the potential bun in the oven, the St. Louis rapper, born Janae Nierah Wherry, shared a series of pics on Instagram that showed off a growing baby bump. “Team boy or team girl 🥰,” read the caption of photos that also included one shot with singer SZA. Both artists appear on Drake’s latest album, For All The Dogs.
However, Twitter investigators noted there was another series of pics in the same outfit where it looks like she isn’t with child.
Hpowever, as you will see below, she confirmed she is indeed pregnant. This will be her second child. Is the father the same man who leaked that sex tape she did not want out in the universe? We’ll surely find out soon enough—and probably on social media.
As for the whole toe-licking thing, late last week an undated photo surface of Sexyy Red getting her toe lick on. You can’t make this stuff up. Peep reactions to all struggle Sexyy Red in the gallery.
1. She pregnant pregnant.

Sexyy Red is still burning up the charts as her star continues to rise and that means more opportunities to sit down with outlets and share her worldview. However, some fans are wondering why the buzzing Hip-Hop starlet is showing support for beleaguered former president Donald Trump.
Sexyy Red, 25, was a guest on the This Past Weekend podcast with host Theo Von and expressed her admiration for Orange Jesus aka Donald Trump. Like many a Black Trump supporter has shared in the past, the St. Louis star believes that times were financially better in the States under the guidance of the former president and business mogul.
“I like Trump,” Sexyy Red began. “Yeah, they support him in the hood. Like at first, I don’t think people was f*ckking with him. They thought he was racist, saying little sh*t against women. But once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people their free money. Aww baby, we love Trump. We need him back in office. We need him back because, baby, them checks. Them stimulus checks. Trump, we miss you.”
As some on X, formerly known as Twitter, have explained, nothing about the stimulus payments during the pandemic came at no cost. In fact, those checks were the result of taxpayer contributions but we didn’t expect the “SkeeYee” artist to know that.
On X, we’ve seen all kinds of reactions to Sexyy Red praising Donald Trump and declaring that the hood loves him despite little evidence supporting that claim. Check out those reactions below.

TikTok is a force these days and with many artists taking to the platform to push their music, Billboard has joined forces with the social media site to launch a new Top 50 chart to track the platform’s most popular singles. You’ll never guess who leads the pack.
According to Variety, one Sexyy Red is sitting atop the TikTok Billboard Top 50 Chart thanks to her smash hit “SkeeYee,” which is followed by Doja Cat’s “Paint The Town Red” and Taylor Swift’s “August,” which come in at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively. Though we weren’t given precise numbers, the new monitoring system will be determined by a number of factors that are relevant in the day and age of social media that we wouldn’t have seen coming in the days of cassette tapes, CD’s and vinyl records.
God, we feel old.
Variety reports:
This is the first official chart in the U.S. to monitor music discovery and engagement on the platform. The chart is based on a combination of creations, video views, and user engagement by the U.S. TikTok community, and will be released weekly on Thursdays.
“TikTok is already the world’s most powerful platform for music discovery and promotion, and each week our passionate community of music fans drives songs onto the Billboard charts. It therefore made perfect sense to partner with Billboard to create the TikTok Billboard Top 50 Chart. The chart gives a clear picture of the music that is being listened to on TikTok, and consequently starting to trend on DSPs and other services,” said Ole Obermann, global head of music business development at TikTok.
“We are thrilled to partner on the first Billboard chart on TikTok,” said Mike Van, president of Billboard. “At Billboard, we are constantly evolving our charts to reflect how fans engage with music and connect them more deeply with the artists they love. We see a clear opportunity to recognize the way music discovery on TikTok is shaping popular culture and are proud to offer this tool to the industry, while offering brands a new way to engage with music fans at scale. You’re not no. 1 until you’re no. 1 on Billboard.”
Naturally, Sexxy Red was ecstatic to be the first music artist to be crowned the queen of TikTok’s Billboard chart and expressed as much when she was informed of the news.
“I am so excited that so many of my songs are charting on TikTok and Billboard’s new chart,” Sexxy Red said, according to Variety. “I always knew I would be a No. 1 type of artist, so I want to thank all my fans on TikTok for running my music up! I’m just being me on TikTok and people love it.”
It’s only a matter of time before Billboard somehow starts charting whatever songs we can’t get out of our heads on a daily basis. Those songs should be interesting to learn.
What do y’all think of the new TikTok Billboard chart? Let us know in the comments section below.
