Scar Lip hopped on social media this week after facing backlash for her new video for “She’s Hot,” where she is seen wearing booty shorts and twerking.
The “This Is New York” artist is seen shaking her clappas in the viral clip but fans did not seem to embrace the change from her usually thugged out style and accused her label of forcing her to take on a sexier image to sell music.
Scar Lip, who is signed to Epic Records and mentored by Swizz Beatz, says the fans are wrong.
“I know a few days ago you saw me shaking my booty on the internet. I wanna say, I apologize to all y’all and anybody I offended. Now, I know everybody’s like, ‘No, we don’t want you doing that…’ I understand that, right?” she explained in the video.
“Let me just say one thing, no one is forcing me to do this. I come up with these things in my head, these crazy ideas,” she went on. “I want you guys to grow with me. Don’t put me in a box. I’m always gon’ give y’all that street sh-t, I mean, I’m the best to do it, right? And we all know that…but I want to, like, tap into what’s in me! It’s something in me that just wants to come out!”
