In a bold move that defines her unapologetic style, St. Louis native Sexyy Red unleashed her latest single, “Free My N**ga,” setting the stage for the upcoming deluxe edition of her acclaimed album, Hood Hottest Princess.
In the opening verse, Red fearlessly declares, “When I don’t hear from my nga, I write him / He a bad boy, I don’t care, that’s how I like ’em / Yeah, free my nga ’til it’s backwards / Fk the police, fk the pigs, they some btards / Send my nga flicks, say, ‘My psy and my a hurt’ / I need that dk, they need to free my nga faster.”
The two-minute track is a powerful anthem echoing the sentiment of countless individuals affected by the prison system. Red unapologetically addresses the struggles of love and longing while navigating the challenges of incarceration.
However, the release was not without controversy. A behind-the-scenes snippet of the music video drew backlash, with some accusing Red of “making light of prison like it’s this place of fun.” In response, the artist took to Instagram Live to clarify misconceptions and shed light on her personal life, emphasizing that she has children with multiple men. “Do y’all really think I’m pregnant by a n**ga in jail? How do y’all think that work? I just want y’all to use y’all antennas,” Red explained. “Please, it’s getting annoying.”
Amidst the drama, Sexyy Red continues to conquer stages across the nation as part of her “Hood Hottest Princess Tour.” From Boston to Atlanta, her performances showcase the raw energy and authenticity that have become synonymous with her name. The tour culminates in Los Angeles and San Francisco on November 25 and 29, respectively, promising a grand finale for fans eagerly awaiting the Hood Hottest Princess deluxe edition.
