Kreayshawn Quit Rapping Because She Was “Too Privileged” & Needed To Make Room For POC

    After exploding onto the scene in 2011 with “Gucci Gucci,” White Girl Mob alum Kreayshawn released her debut album, Somethin’ ‘Bout Kreay, in 2012 and has been quiet ever since.

    In a series of tweets posted on Tuesday (August 15), the Bay Area native claimed she left her rapping career behind to make more room for women of color. She also explained that although she grew up “broke and in the ghetto,” she will never grasp what people of color go through on a daily basis.

    “Yes, I grew up broke and in the ghetto,” she wrote. “No does not mean I understand the struggle of POC. Yes, I made rap music and profited off of what I at the time understood as all I knew. Being broke and a bad person, but I stepped off that because, I was too privileged. So many gr8 and talented WOC who make music deserved that spot more then me. And to take that spot with my ass self was an insult.”

    She also touched on the various systems’ flawed designs that set up POC to “fail.”

    “Any person getting upset when someone says, ‘White Lives Don’t Matter’ ‘Fuck white people’ etc. doesn’t not even understand what a person has gone threw dealing with the law system, education system, welfare system, all white controlled and designed to fail POC,” she wrote.

    After her social media tirade, “Bonehead Kreay” said someone was trying to hack her account and that she was going to disappear from Twitter for a while to get a lobotomy.

    1. she quit rapping because she got dropped from the label after her album flopped. it sold less than 4,000 copies during first week after release.

    2. We as black folk need to get off the “this music is for the poor” Sure, it resonated from the hood, but hell, music should be for everyone. Rap talent doesn’t stop in the hood. Let the young lady do her thing. She’s been forced/influenced to stop rapping because she feels “too privileged?” WTF…make your music young lady.

          1. yes sir, she is. i learned about it only couple years after her “career” was finished, she mentioned it in some video around the time she was pregnant.

    3. LMAOOO DX stays being the only idiots giving airtime to this bitch and that other ho Lil Debbie. They got yall on their payroll or some shit?? FOH!!

      1. but no news about the third white girl mob member, V-Nasty? she even had that album BayTL with Gucci Mane.

    4. True there would be no rap without the creativity of the poor or marginalised the privileged don’t need to rap as most institutions and resources are there at their disposal. Hip hop is supposed to be the voice which society rejects and refuses to understand

    5. She quit rapping because she became a walking punchline that everybody made fun of, and is now looking for sympathy with the whole “Self Hating White Person” angle. FOH

    6. Stop saying POC and say the name of the group of people who are targeted by white supremacy- black people. Dumb bitch.

    7. I once slept with her. She was wild. Kept saying she waa gonna be the biggest in the game. Twxted me for months praying i would produxe a beat for her. Next then i know i see her at a NAACP meeting in a dashiki. A GODDAMN DASHIKI. I swear this hoe slept with eryka badu or some shit. She kept telling me about mineral waters and things she ordered online from “the motherland”. She then told me it would be a honour to give birth to a biracial baby and xontinue the og tribe of judah bloodline.

      2chainz verse of syrup was dooe tho

    8. I always thought she could be more and be creative in a way where she could exist but suggesting that rap is strictly for the poor and underprivileged minorities of the world is probably the most ignorant and possibly racist thing you can say …. that’s not the only hip hop or rap out there. Grow up and come at music from a different angle…moron

    9. bitch never could rap anyway …all her shit was garbage . she hating on white people because they wasn’t buying her bullshit albums. bitch sit ur ugly ass down some where and shut da fuck up aint nobody gives a fuck what u got to say ….u looking for attention. then take ur whitetrash ass to da jerry springer show . we wanna hear about real hiphop not about a skank ass hoe.

    10. how full of shit was them tweets lmao so if her album had of 400k instead of less than 4k she still would of quit rapping FOH
