Janelle Monae Wants Misogyny In Hip Hop Abolished

Janelle Monae On Misogyny In Hip Hop: “I Really Only Ever Wanna Hear Women Rapping”

There have been words against supposed misogyny in Hip Hop. Recently, J Cole was accused of being a misogynist after he dropped a track addressing Noname’s call out. Well, Janelle Monae is now calling for an abolishment of misogyny in hip hop.

On friday, Janelle Monae took to twitter to express how she feels about the pervasive sexism within the rap game, noting that the anti-woman sentiments so often spewed in hip hop have turned her off from most male artists.

“I really only ever wanna hear women rapping,” she wrote. “The amount of misogyny from most of men in rap and music is infuriating. We need to abolish that sh*t too.” She followed up this statement with a ton more tweets explaining her stance.
