Vivica A. Fox recently appeared on Cocktails with Queens, and the subject of Young Thug came up. Vivica was asked about his fashion sense and whether she thought he was attractive.
The actress said, “You know he’s, like, just like a good sexy a— looking cockroach. And I don’t mean that mean. You know what I mean? It’s like, the hair and everything like that. He’s got rockstar quality. He could be a great animation character.”
Vivica later added, “I meant that in the kindest term though, you know what I mean? Because his features are just very, you know. But he’s very rockstar. He loves his diamonds, he loves fashion, he loves pushing buttons, and he makes good music.”
Afterward, many online began criticizing her for calling the rapper a cockroach. Among other things, Vivica was called a “colorist.” See some of the responses below.
Calling Thug a cockroach is rooted in the same colorist bs as the Ari Lennox situation ????????♂️
