Summer Walker has given her fans an explanation as to why she suffers from shyness, and it has something to do with her fear of getting canceled.
The singer took to her Instagram Story earlier this week with the reason for her shyness and reserved tone during interviews. According to Walker, it comes from the cancel culture thatās dominating the current generation. The 26-year-old claimed sheās too ghetto for interviews and doesnāt want to offend someone with anything she feels like saying out loud.

Summer Walker had a brush with controversy last December when she posted a job opening for an assistant thatās āwhite or gay.ā The Atlanta native posted the listing on her @glctawhre Instagram account, offering $2,000 a month for a male assistant who meets specific criteria.
Walker sought out applicants who are at least 25 years old, knew how to ābuild stuffā and are āpreferably white or gay.ā After catching flak from fans who felt her job listing was discriminatory to Black people, she took to her Instagram Stories to share several videos addressing the criticism, starting with the salary.
āIf you donāt know what youāre talking about, then why are you talking about it?ā she began. āI really would like to know that. āOh, $2K aināt enough, $2K aināt enough.ā How do you know if itās not enough? I could have told somebody to come over here once a week and smell my asshole and leave. How do you know itās not enough? Do you know the job description? Do you know the hours?
āI am on maternity leave, Iām not working. We have no shows, we have no club appearances, we have nowhere to go and nothing to do. I told somebody to come over here once a week to come take my fucking trash out, shit like that. Put some gas in my car, shit I donāt feel like doing. But that is not yāall business, I donāt have to explain that to you.ā

Summer Walker then explained why she wanted a white or gay man as her new assistantĀ before revealing she ended up hiring a Black man to fill the position ā which is far from her first Black hire.
āAnd then to be talking about, āWhy a white man and why a gay man?'ā she said. āIāve always hired Black people. Everybody that works for me is Black. If I wanna hire a white person, yāall sound like yāall discriminating, whatās the problem?

āI want a gay man ācause I donāt want nobody hitting on me and I wanted a white person, because honestly, you n-ggas, yāall know how n-ggas act. Iām honestly really tired, Iām really tired, but thatās a different fucking story.ā
She continued: āHow about we mind our business? Iām using this platform how Iām supposed to use it ā for business. I ended up hiring a Black man and paying more than $2K, but still, the fact that yāall are really in my DMs harassing me about nothing that you know nothing about.ā
