The make-up line of Sexxy Red has been recently criticized for being "classless." Well, that's no surprise considering her bold and provocative persona. The American rapper, known for her hit song "Pound Town," has launched a range of lip glosses with explicit names. At the age of 26, Sexxy Red (real name Janae Wherry) has gained popularity through her collaboration with Drake. The duo has released two songs together this year, "Rich Baby Daddy" featuring Sza and "U Me Everything."
In line with her booming music career, Sexxy Red has also ventured into the beauty industry with her brand, NORTHSIDE PRINCESS. Her first product, a lip gloss, has received mixed reactions from the public. In an Instagram post, the rapper shared photos of her holding a stack of collection boxes and revealed the names of the individual lip glosses. This caused quite a stir in the comments section, with some people finding the names too suggestive.
Some of the tamer names for the fruit-scented lip glosses include "Bootyhole Brown," "Nut," "Blue Ballz," and "Sex on My Period." However, some commenters found the names "Coochie Juice," "Pussyhole Pink," "Yellow Discharge," and "Gonorrhea" to be highly offensive. One commenter even expressed regret for seeing the post. Others called the names "disgusting" and "classless."
Fans were quick to point out that the explicit branding could harm the company's image. Some even compared Sexxy Red's launch to successful beauty brands like Rihanna's Fenty Beauty and Nars, stating that the rapper has blocked herself from high-end stores with her choices. One commenter warned that the lip glosses would only be suitable for a store like Spencer's, not a high-end store like Macy's.
Despite the backlash, Sexxy Red seemed unfazed by the complaints. She is best known for her song "Pound Town" and has always been known for her bold and risque nature. While other singers-turned-make-up-moguls like Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, and Ariana Grande have also entered the beauty industry, Sexxy Red's lip gloss names are still some of the most shocking to date.
However, they are not as startling as Gwyneth Paltrow's candle launch. The actress once released a candle that supposedly "smells like her vagina" through her company Goop, which retailed for a whopping £58. Despite the criticism, Sexxy Red simply shared a link to the website where her make-up line will be available for purchase.
It seems that Sexxy Red is not alone in her bold and provocative branding, as other celebrities have also released products with explicit names. It remains to be seen if her make-up line will be a hit or a miss, but one thing's for sure, she's not backing down from her signature style any time soon.
