At first I thought he could have merely wanted to the interviewer to expound to give more praise to his wife. At first I was leaning towards that and but he did sound pressed and tried to clean it up at the end.
In normal social interactions, asking someone to justify why they like something about someone else can be indicative of jealousy or bitterness over them getting attention over you.
That’s the big social skill issue here.
Like a two chicks going out together and somebody pays a compliment to one chick’s outfit, but not yours. If you get up in that person’s face and ask them “Why you like her outfit? Yeeeah, yeeeaah, yeeeah.” Let’s not pretend that wouldn’t be off-putting.
That lil grunt he made when the reporter said it was great to see another woman because of what it indicated for her as a woman, made me feel like he was about to launch into a speech on why a man can’t get no accolades without women getting attention.
But he could have just been trying to intensely get more screen time for his wife and came off awkward.
Keep in mind, I know nothing about who these people even are so I have no context for this relationship. But he definitely seemed like he had something against the interviewer when she mentioned his wife.
Has he had negative interactions with reporters before? Or his wife?
Anyhoo, who are these folks? I’ll watch it again but on first watch, it’s weird.
For context
He’s an independent rapper with a pro-black, pro-Nigerian, pro-black love and family slant whose been getting bigger buzz over the past 4 years. The woman of course is his wife who also raps and is on a lot of his projects and in his videos.
He was nominated for Best New Artist at The Grammys, they were on the red carpet getting interviewed
Imagine being the star and being expected to share the spotlight with your wife. Black folk lost af. That matriarchy shyt
