Jadakiss Claps Back At Fans Accusing Him Of Growing Up "Like The Huxtables"

[The Intergalactic Koala]

As you can see from Jadas response, rappers want to keep up the keyfabe. if you set an expectation. Meet it. otherwise face critique.

That's why my GOATs are MF Grimm, Lupe, and Ras Kass

 

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

.... dont let that go over your head . . .

Damn this nikka had it all going well. He gotta be sick sittin in that cell

 

[tuckgod]

My nikka. On some genuine shyt I'm not tryna be funny. Are u good? U seem angry all the time my boi. Maybe it's just some Internet shyt and u happy af in real life but I just wanted to know. Lol.

If you could have a glimpse into my life you’d curse the heavens to have to return to yours.

I’m everything yall laugh at everyday, hood nikka, Southern, American, single mother.

I just return the energy for my folks that can’t respond for themselves.

It’s going to come off angry to a fukk nikka.

That’s the intention.

He did an interview with his dad and son promoting their coffee business a couple of years ago and his upbringing was brought into question. It kinda got swept under the rug but yeah the fact it's brought up again means it won't go away as easy as the first time.

 

[Schadenfreude]

It's the stupidest shyt ever. Some of the most gangsta nikkas I knew had both they parents. I know 3 brothers that was all Blood nikkas. Had both they parents and they father ran a church and was a preacher. Them nikkas was wild af. My best friend was a Crip and this nikka had both his parents. nikka was wild af. shyt I had both my parents and ain't NOBODY gonna tell me I ain't grow up strugglin. Lol. Murhafukkas had it hard man. And if anyone thinks 100% of nikkas in the hood ain't have both they parents they either a cracka or ain't never grow up in the hood they self.

Most kids that have a pastor as a parent are on one TBH

Kiss never claimed to be some super gangster street dude.

Lots of people exist in the environment and can talk about it without being the biggest gangbanger on the block.

Ironic to mention them in this thread. Ras grew up in a stable middle class environment with a father who was a cop, and he still turned out to be a juvenile delinquent.

And MF Grimm was literally a child actor on Sesame Street. But then obviously grew up and was running wild af in the streets. He told the story of the night he lost the World Supremacy battle to Supernatural, he had a gun in his waist that was still hot from a gunfight he got into right before the battle started.

Neither one of them dudes really glorify that shyt though and obviously have generally more beneficial and poignant things to say than Kiss usually does.

That's what nikkas not getting. Outside of clearly made believe bars I never seen Kiss give off like he was this super gangsta nikka in the first place. Lol.

Nah that's facts from what I seen in my life. Lol.

Two parent household, went to private school, and even studied in Tennessee before returning home to chase the streets and rap. That’s a more privileged background than his fans were ever led to believe. And honestly, there’s nothing wrong with that because stability and opportunity are blessings, not flaws.


But the issue is that both Jada and his father admitted the label told him to hide this reality because it didn’t fit the “street” image. AND HE WENT ALONG WITH IT, this was said on the JBP and Jada didn’t deny it! He chose to lean into stereotypes and sell a false narrative. That choice makes it hypocritical. He benefited from stability, education, and parents who sacrificed for him, yet he downplayed all of that just to sound more “authentic” to the streets.


This matters because when rappers suppress stories of stability and privilege, it reinforces a dangerous cycle in the Black community. It tells young listeners that dysfunction is “real” and healthy family structures are corny or inauthentic. It pressures artists to embrace struggle, crime, and trauma as cultural currency, instead of celebrating strong families, education, or responsible parenting. Jada even admitted he valued that stability more once he became a parent himself so why deny it in his music?

It’s hypocritical for him to rap about pain, drugs, and instability while hiding the truth that his father, even while battling addiction, still maintained a business and paid for private schooling. More black artists especially rappers should push this in music because it’s a story of resilience and support. The hypocrisy is that Jadakiss chose to bury it, leaving another generation of fans to believe that chaos is the only authentic Black experience.

Plies was a nurse and he gets bashed for that. J Cole admitted that his mom told him to speak and act like he has a college degree and he said no. At some point we do have to admit that it’s a terrible stereotype and Jada is Clarence from 8 mile and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I gotta turn this into an article lol because at times especially when I was young and immature I thought it was corny but that’s how I was raised to think and believe from hip hop and dumb nikkas in the hood. Being black is just about struggle and street shyt

WE BLACK WE SUPPOSED TO BE POOR!!
- Dumb nikkaz

 

[THE 101]

A lot of this going on in this thread

 

[MisterMajesty]

Nah we not doing this, D-Block as a whole kill 50 nikkas per song.

 

[raoulduke187]

bruh a rap legend family man and businessman why even bother replying to some scrub on the internet

 

[Pazzy]

My question is why do yall give a fukk? Learn what an artist is because a lot of you weirdos dont know what an artist is. Thats the real problem.
