Chris Brown Defends ‘Indigo’ Lyric After Being Accused Of Colorism
R&B crooner Chris Brown has been called a “colorist” after the singer defended problematic lyrics from his new song, “Need a Stack,” which is from his newly released album, Indigo.
The track, which features Lil Wayne and Joyner Lucas, contains the lyrics, “Only wanna f**k the black b**ches with the nice hair.”
Twitter users pointed out the lyrics (check out some of the tweets below) and Chris Brown caught wind of it causing the “Take You Down” singer to respond with fury.

The saddest part about colorism and texturism is that the next generation of little black girls is going to have to fight through this nonsense because the black community as a whole refuses to stamp this issue out. #colorism #chrisbrown https://t.co/WuX4YTphHp

Brown joked about the criticism in the comment section of The Shade Room on Instagram. “HAAAAAAA,” he wrote on one comment. “Y’all trippin trippin. Y’all b**ches don’t wanna f**k da n***a with fu**ed up teeth do you??? Only b**ches upset is the uglies (not the black queens).”
Brown also came up with a “challenge” for “all the angry uglies that’s mad” at what he said. “Post a picture of what you look like, please,” Brown said in a video that was shared on Instagram.
The controversial artist also continued to leave more immature comments on The Shade Room‘s post. “Weird a** angry people. Sincerely, from the bottom of my balls…I DON’T GIVE A F**K BOUT YALL NEGATIVE BOOTYFACE A** B*TCHES. IM START GIVING AWAY FREE LACE-FRONTS FOR ALL YOU WEIRD FEMALES WIT THE SKID ROW EDGES AND LOW SELF ESTEEM. ASIDE FROM THAT…HOP OFF THESE NUTTS,” Brown wrote.
“Half y’all look like the BUDWEISER FROGS..SO PLEASE DON’T COME WIT DA BULLSH*T. I WILL FIRE DAT A** UP AND ROAST THE HELL OUT OF YOU OVERLY SENSITIVE DUCKHEAD A** WEIRDOS.”
