It’s Trick Daddy versus the AKAs after the rapper received flack for his performance at the sorority’s conference.
The rapper performed at Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.’s 73rd South Atlantic Regional Conference, leaving members uncomfortable with his lewd song lyrics, causing the sorority’s directors to shut down the April 3 concert.
Regional director Tiffany Moore Russell said the sorority approved certain songs for his set list. Journalist Philip Lewis shared a screenshot of Russell’s apology statement member to her sorority sisters.
“The language, the lyrics, and the comments made by the artist were not acceptable,” stated Russell. “I ended the performance because of the disrespect for our organization and our brand.”
Several members of the sorority felt that his explicit language detracted from the event and disrespected the esteemed women’s organization. According to attendees, Trick Daddy made suggestive comments to the crowd filled with distinguished and collegiate women. Complex reported that he even told the audience, “if you want your p-ssy ate, put your f-cking hands up.”
Though the rapper didn’t admit ignoring the sorority’s requests, he emphasized that no one can censor a Trick Daddy concert.
“You should have known that when y’all booked me,” he shared in a video to social media. “But don’t put out no statement talking about you gave me a playlist. This ain’t your wedding.”
He said the sorority’s handling of the situation was out of line.
“You turned my mic off. I felt disrespected…I left. I ain’t planning on ever going to no motherf*ck*ng social media,” he continued. “But now you done dirtied up my name… I gotta clear my name up.”
Others also noted that Trick Daddy’s brand of
raunchy rapping may inherently conflict the sorority’s more professional stamp. Trick Daddy apparently agreed with the naysayers. “Anybody in there that was saddity and sanctified should not have been in there once I grabbed that MF’in mic,” he said in a 10 minute long video. “…Ain’t no clean versions. For any future MF that wants to book me, ain’t no clean version. I don’t know about a clean version.”RELATED CONTENT: Trick Daddy Releases Self-Titled, ‘Trick Daddy Pots’ Cookware
