Sexyy Red has definitely caused a stir by revealing the names of the products in her lip gloss line, and to say they are unusual might be an understatement.
In today’s world, some days are filled with the wonders and beauty of human creativity, and other days you discover rapper Sexyy Red has launched a NSFW lip gloss collection.
Typically, this wouldn’t be a significant event, as many music artists expand into different ventures to leverage their fame.
However, the 26-year-old’s choice of names for the products in her Northside Princess beauty brand has left social media users shocked, with many mocking the artist.
Think I’m exaggerating? Just wait until you see the names, and you’ll likely understand why some have been calling them ‘disgusting’.
The rapper seems unfazed and posted on her Instagram and Twitter pages: “Introducing NORTHSIDE PRINCESS the brand & my first product will b my lipgloss I’m so excited.”
Sexyy Red shared an image of herself holding a huge stack of the lip glosses along with a close-up of what each box contained.
The names, some of which seem to draw inspiration from her ‘Pound Town’ track, include: ‘C**chie Juice’, ‘B**tyhole Brown’, ‘N*t’, ‘Yellow Discharge’, ‘Gonorrhea’, ‘Blue Ballz’, ‘Sex On My Period’, and ‘P***yhole Pink’ … yes, those are their actual names.
Sure, they are quite unconventional, but unconventional has been a successful formula before.
However, on Twitter, it seems people aren’t too pleased with the lip gloss names, with some saying they are simply too much.
“Yellow discharge wtf I wish I have not seen this,” one user wrote.
Another commented: “I literally couldn’t agree more, I used to like her but now she’s just plain disgusting.”
“Just like that you made your brand a joke novelty that will be purchased once as an ‘lol’ rather than a marketable brand. Y’all literally have Rihanna as a successful blueprint and you did this… Yikes,” a third penned.
Another person added: “Girl… why would you name those shades that? Nobody wanna put gonorrhea on their lips.”
Despite the backlash, Sexyy Red has previously indicated that she isn’t bothered by the criticism.
She told Complex in 2023: “You know, people are gonna talk s*** but other people were like ‘you is a marketing genius’.”
“Because that s*** sold so fast and it smells good too. I be thinking of all out of the box s***. It’s not even on purpose it’s just my brain, it helps me think outside the box to do some crazy a** s***.”
