As Conway The Machine puts the finishing touches on his God Don’t Make Mistakes album, the Griselda member took to Instagram on Wednesday (July 28) to share a photo of himself wearing an Alexander McQueen skirt. However, the move didn’t go down well with some of his fans.
Along with a black tee, hat, sunglasses, chains and sneakers, the Buffalo MC donned a skirt with the Alexander McQueen name printed around it while standing in what looks like a hotel lobby.
“I’m too important for you now,” Conway The Machine wrote as the caption.
Many fans in the comments weren’t impressed with Conway The Machine’s choice of clothing and went as far as saying they’re unfollowing him and never listening to his music again.
“I know you don’t have on a skirt,” one person wrote. “nah yo why you got a skirt on after all that hard shit you done gave us to listen to you gonna put a skirt on ? I’m not ever listening to another bar from you again after this ..this shit is not even fly I don’t care who made it or how much it cost it’s a skirt.”
Another fan commented, “Nah this a unfollow ya was claiming Buffalo New York bringin bars back and u looking like young thug nah.”
“Nah Family,” another wrote. “The caption ‘I’m too important for you now’ followed by what appears to be a ‘hardcore street’ rapper in some designer shit that appears to be a skirt, the two don’t necessarily go together. The Game got even the hardest cats doing funny shit just to keep a buzz going…and tryna call the weirdo shit fashion or ‘drip’ as they now refer to it as….”
Conway The Machine Assembles Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, T.I. + More For Shady Album Tracklist
In April, Kid Cudi received hate for wearing a dress on Saturday Night Live and later spoke about making grown men angry.
“I’ve never been someone who’s like thinking about the backlash. I don’t give a fuck about what anyone thinks,” he said. “You can’t when you’re doing this shit. I knew it would piss some people off, but I love that because Hip Hop is so weird about shit. I’ve already seen people making YouTube videos where they’re just strictly talking about me and this dress.”
He continued, “Like grown men angry, grown Black men angry. ‘He’s doing something against men and masculinity, it’s a big thing going on…’ And I just be like, yo, this is so funny, this is crazy that I’ve stirred it up like this.”
Feminine, sell out, backpack rapping clown.
Thanks to Kanye. He started this ish with his bougie music rappin about his high school issues and fashion shows and then drifted to this gay hipster ish hangin out with frank ocean and bisexual artists to get a pass in hollywood inner circle
Clout chasing clowns who want to “get people talking”. This generation is just garbage.
I only hope he’s getting paid to endorse someone else’s product. Or he has learned nothing from his elders.
Another victim to the machine. No listens from me
Conway the Machine’s Victim
Conway effin’ up your head, ha ha ha. You and I know, as soon as his new ish drops, you’ll be hopping straight on Spotify and listening to that ish on repeat. Conway making you little bishes get mad and I’m loving it!
Damn as hard a Machine goes on the music 9 never expected this from him smh! Lol
Every other article on here is about someone’s gender or sexual identity. I don’t give a fuck what yall do on your own time. Let’s get to the music for fucks sake.
This is mind control to program to you to copy that all
This not drip
oh some moron told him to put it on.
He was a one trick pony anyway
Your mother’s a one trick pony
its not a skirt , its a scarf of something tied on the front of some shorts cause if you watch the performance you can see there are shorts in the back ,also conway is a smart ass so if you ask him something he dont wanna answer you get a smart ass answer from him
Hey mane Con is such a real G that he finna have all them hood nixxaz rocking skirts now! I lost count how many bodies Con done catched, that nixxa the truf! My nixxaz round the block already talking bout how G it is to rock a skirt, that some really axx $#!+!!!
Cease and desist
This is a cultural and gender issue. If you look in history a lot of warrior Clans wore skirt in war and in ritual. Conway not having a culture to back him ,makes him whatever people think he is.
U let the industry get to u too remember ur line in dunks alotta new rappers is weird they wearing leggings and dying their fuckin hair don’t do this to urself i fuck with gxfr take that shir off
This is a marketing move he’s doing, getting all this attention. He said thank you to the haters “for getting him a bag” I don’t care what he wears cuz he’s one of my favorite all time. But I do have to admit if it was a rapper I didn’t like I would probably clown at least internally. That’s what’s happening here, half way fans turning on him just cuz of some clothes haha and even the goat, grimiest of all time Conway would be clownin on some weak dude wearing this, con isn’t that of course. The machine wears what the machine wants.
*types all this while crying on the inside*
Good one man. Slaughtered me.
He’s one of your favorite of all time? When did you start listening to hip hop? 2 years ago? Lmfaoooo
Haha u sound like the noob have you heard all of Conway’s catalog it’s insane haha. I’m not young or old almost middle aged bruh. When I was a kid we used to steal brand new ludacris and nas cds out of the longs that store doesn’t exist anymore. A rapper doesn’t have to come out 20 years ago to be legendary status they gotta have a great consistent catalog and that’s the machine for u. Classic projects. Gibbs is also one of my favorites all time he’s not classic my all time favs are big pac, Xzibit nas some jay z and Griselda is up there too. I’ll happily be a noob compared to these real noobs Soulja boy 69 dababy fans. Suck a dry knee cap in the meantime noob
Next thing he going do is paint his Nails.
Like Mal from the Joe budden’s podcast smh…
Here to let the brothas know that it wasn’t a skirt lmao. His IG page shows a couple of pics (revealing that they were shorts) and a video showing him in this outfit. He was wearing shorts, with the Mcqueen scarf tucked infront of them. In the vid you can see it as hes performing. Its all good, can keep him in your playlists lmao.
Grisnooza stans conflicted right now, haha.
No!
He still one of the hardest rappers goin
George Clinton did stage shows naked big deal
Hit us with the music bra
No, disrespect but George Clinton was admittedly high on drugs like LSD and narcotics like cocaine and crack.
What’s that got to do with anything? George Clinton wasn’t supposed to be hard, he was a fuckin artistic weirdo, not a rapper
I never thought rappers were thugs.Real thugs provide for their families,probably working to keep family together.Real thugs don’t pose with guns they don’t know how to use.Real thugs don’t support horrible people like Trump like Kanye West,Ice Cube,Dave Chappelle for economic gains.
Hip hop really afraid of a dress out here. Bunch a whiny, insecure lil bitches!
Of all the Gear in the world to rock
You wanna skirt.. Ain’t nothing Gangsta
about that..& being important is one thing
But losing yourself in the process is another form of public embarrassment ?
Guys wear kilts in different cultures and they are the same as skirts. Me I wouldn’t wear a dress or a skirt just because it’s not practical. But that’s me. I couldn’t be in the salon for 3 hours a week getting a weave taken care of lol. I have other things to do with my time. Women of course are built different and that’s the beauty of life.
Freel tho
Too important for who???
I see why he’s’s moving up in the hip hop world. You gotta sacrifice something unfortunately once you have top stars on your album. Conway dope, but why man nooooo.
He’s already lame enough…. What’s the point?
he didnt even wear a skirt its a scraf…theres a video where he performs and and you can see him from behind and its clear to see that he weras shorts and just put that scarf thingy around his waist…he was basicially taking the piss with the picture…
Salute to you for being the ONLY one that caught that. You get a W fam!
Stooooop it.
You can’t be part the first/greatest hip hop group from Buffalo and let ur city down by doing some lame ass fashion-follow-the-leader/jump on the bandwagon bullshit like this. Leave the skirts for the mumble rappers and bitches that need the gimmick
Why would you care what another person wears?
