The Good: The Time She Got Lyfe Jennings Together for “Slave” Song

Back in September, singer Lyfe Jennings released a song with some rather disturbing lyrics:

Got your a– hoppin’ like a frog / Got your legs shakin’ like two wet dogs / This ain’t the part we fall in love / This is the part we kiss and f–k.  … I’m gon’ beat it like a slave / So you don’t run away / Got the whips and chains / Call me master.

Seales posted an Instagram recording of herself responding to the song, sharing her disdain at the fact that he was comparing sex to the horrific acts of violence associated with centuries of human bondage.

Charlamagne the God reposted Seales video with the caption, “Some of ya’ll don’t have any friends. If you did you wouldn’t make mistakes like this record. ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 @amandaseales.”

Jennings responded angrily, claiming that Seales and Charlamagne were using their platform to bash him and his new song. But, I mean, come on. It was ridiculous.

The Bad: The Invest in a Passport Over Jordans Mess

In 2017, Seales sent this tweet out and started a whole new argument on Twitter :

While her message may be about investing in experiences rather than things, her words may have done more harm than good. Some people tweeted that she was being classist because she seemed to be talking down to poor people. The argument was that she was ridiculing poor folk for wanting nice things that they can attain easily, like a pair of Jordans, instead of striving for experiential goals and suffering quietly at home until their next trip.

While Seales had a point, she made a broad generalization, judging the whole Internet without knowing their life, budget, or needs. It wasn’t her finest hour.
