In a recent interview with Vlad TV, ATL rapper Yung Joc shared his unfiltered thoughts on the artist known as Sexyy Red. While he commended her for embracing her true self and urged against misconstruing his comments as “hating on success,” Joc also offered some advice for the up-and-coming star.
“She’s not trying to pretend to be something she’s not. I think she’s comfortable in her truth. But I think she has to be careful with being exploited,” he cautioned, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the youth from explicit content.

Joc acknowledged that Sexyy Red’s style is a reflection of her comfort zone but urged her to exercise prudence, especially considering the influence her music might have on younger listeners. He underscored the need to “check those h*e spirits,” advocating for more conscientious censorship.
Reflecting on the evolving landscape of music and its impact on the younger generation, Joc drew attention to the responsibility of artists in shaping messages that are both authentic and mindful. He recalled his own upbringing and how his mother prioritized their well-being, but pointed out that today’s women have a different dynamic.

Sexyy Red, in particular, stands out to Joc for her unapologetic approach. He noted, “She has a downright ‘I’m in the hood, I’m out the hood approach. I’m promoting classic ratchet h*e activity.’ And that’s just what it is.”
Despite his commentary on her music, Joc maintained an open-minded perspective, recognizing that artistry doesn’t always reflect the entirety of a person. “She could be a real down chick, a real good person. She could be a viable citizen,” he conceded, acknowledging that musical expression can sometimes be distinct from personal character.
In the end, Yung Joc’s insights provide a nuanced view of Sexyy Red’s public persona, urging a balance between authenticity and responsibility in the ever-evolving world of music.
