It goes without saying that Sexyy Red is one celebrity that can never be replicated. Recently, however, a social media user went viral for coming close. In a set of photos shared earlier this week, the woman is seen striking a pose in a blue sweatsuit. Fellow X users in her replies were quick to point out her resemblance to Sexyy Red, with many even jokingly dubbing her "Sexyy Blue."
"Wait this isn’t sexyy red?" one user asks. "Close enough, drop a summer anthem NOW," someone else writes. The photos even managed to earn a reaction from the rapper herself, who seems to see the similarities. She hopped online to weigh in on the post, indicating that it took her by surprise. “Wait ah damn minute," she wrote simply. Fans can't blame her for being a bit shocked to learn that she has a doppelganger out there somewhere, particularly one as undeniable as this.
Sexyy Red's Bruno Mars Collab
Sexyy Red's reaction to her viral lookalike comes just a few weeks after she made headlines for her wildly raunchy track with Bruno Mars, "Fat Juicy & Wet." They marketed it as a "strip club anthem," and as expected, it earned mixed reviews from listeners. While many were impressed by the unexpected collab, others think it left a lot to be desired. This included Joe Budden, who had plenty to say about the single on his podcast.
"Will it work? Yes. They're gonna pay for this to work. The video says that, the feature says that, the cameo says that, Larry Jackson and all of his relationships say that. This song is going to work. Now where it will work is a whole different thing," he explained. "This song is formulaic, and I have a problem with the formula used to attrack Black listeners versus the formula used to attract a white audience." The internet personality continued, calling the song "whitewashed" and claiming that Sexyy Red toned down her signature explicit lyrics for it. "It's nowhere near as graphic as any Sexyy Red lyric...I'm calling code switching when I see it," he said.
