Too $hort found himself in hot water earlier this month after making comments that were deemed colorist in a video chat with Saweetie. “Mixed heritage women have always been my favorite,” the Bay Area pioneer said. “I don’t think I’ve ever fallen in love with a woman that wasn’t mixed.”
He added, “I feel that way about life, too. You can take the two ugliest muthafuckas from different races and they fuck and make a baby, and that baby just be beautiful!”
Somehow, Saweetie was forced to address the controversy first after coming under fire for laughing at Too $hort’s remarks. The “ICY GRL” rapper defended herself by posting an extended version of conversation in which she can be heard standing up for Black women.
Now, Too $hort has apologized for his comments — in true Short Dog fashion. In a video apology sent to TMZ, the “Blow The Whistle” rapper began by reiterating he doesn’t have racial bias due to his Bay Area upbringing and made clear he’s proud of his Black heritage.
“I would like to apologize to anybody that’s offended by my words,” he said. “I am from the Bay Area … and the whole racial thing to me has never been a factor in my circles … I’m not really into the whole hatred of, ‘I hate you because you’re light’ or ‘You’re the best because you’re dark.’
“I love my blackness, I love my family — on my mother’s side and my father’s side. We have every complexion: light, curly, dark, everything.”
Too $hort went onto clarify his initial statement by saying beauty comes in all shades and forms — but so, too, does ugliness.
“You can’t have blood in your body that makes you better than someone else,” he added. “You can’t be born of better parents or better breeding — there’s no such thing. Real beauty is in every economic class, every race and you can go find that ugly exactly everywhere too.”
Saweetie Forced To Defend Herself After She's Dragged On Twitter For Something Too $hort Said
On the music side, Too $hort is currently gearing up to release Mt. Westmore, an all-star collaborative album with fellow West Coast Hip Hop icons Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube and E-40.
The supergroup debuted the album’s first single in April, although a release date has yet to be announced. In July, Cube told The Breakfast Club, “We getting our ducks in a row … We getting cocked and loaded. We getting our visuals together because when we hit, we want to keep rolling.”
Bro it’s all good. You just love them lightskin mami’s and snowbunnies. Personal preference and has nothing to do with being a racist. Just be you and keep it moving.
Too much shit about he said thiis and she said thaaat. C’mon son, shit ain’t even that serious.
It’s 2021 people like what they like and nothing changes their mind. I have friends who prefer dark-skinned women too. To each is own just love and live life.
Colourism is a word racists use, because they can’t admit they are racist.
with all the pirated porn online you could form a preference. not me though.
I think comments like this are b.s dudes get money and all of a sudden all they like are mixed race or light skinned black women but those same dudes would date a dark skinned woman before the fame. I think they think its a sign of status just like dudes who get with a white woman after fame is for the status. They know it’s beautiful dark n light women but per European standards lighter is better so they subconscious subscribe to that b.s.
Or just hear me out on this that they have a sexual preference for light-skin women and IMHO there’s nothing wrong with that. We all have something specific we want in a partner whether for a one-night stand or relationship and I think it’s unfair to dictate who they would choose to date.
I promise you! Ain’t no bw trippin cause he ain’t into the sistahs!! Just keep it pushin and keep ya mouth shut!! fools act like they need to make an announcement about their preference
Sexual preference. If you can be attracted to either sex, have weird fetishes etc then preferring mixed race women is not a stretch.
And they are the most attractive racial group. Not as many uggos in the mixed race category.
I think comedy is taboo now. With social media, all these sensitive people, even sometimes blacks are too sensitive. I’m a black man, but shit I can take a funny “joke”. Jokes also have some realness to them. What Too Short said is actually true. Why are mf’s so sensitive? He was joking!! Saweetie simply laughed at a joke. Smh.
wow ppl are the biggest hoes ever
