“I’ve been getting this question about the youngsters wearing fingernail polish,” he started. “Me personally, I don’t wear fingernail polish. I’m from a different era. I’m a ’70’s baby. I wear one earring, not two. That’s just our thing. So I say, ‘Sh*t, I gotta ask the youngsters.’ Cause I know a lot of youngsters —Trippie Redd, NBA [YoungBoy], Lil Uzi [Vert] … I know these men, these men are not feminine, these men are not g*y, they’re very masculine, they’re very stand-up individuals.”
Claiming that many have been looking to him for the answers on Clubhouse, he added: “I say, ‘I don’t know, it’s a different era.’ When I grew up, ni**as was sagging their pants. My parents and uncles was like, ‘What y’all doing with your a** out, ni**a? That’s g*y.’ But it wasn’t g*y, it was just some trendy sh*t we was doing.”
“So now I’m coming to y’all,” he continued talking to his fans. “To to the youngsters out there, I’m hearing something about emo and all this other sh*t. Can y’all leave a comment down below on what the fingernail polish represent? Because some of the youngsters I mentioned that I know, I don’t think it means that [they’re feminine]. I just think it’s another type of movement.”
“But I don’t know. They’re asking me this f**king question on Clubhouse and I ain’t got no answer for it, so I’m not gonna make no assumption about it. So y’all leave a comment below so I can go back and have this conversation.”
Trippie Redd, a rapper who openly wears black nail polish, stated in Wack’s comment section: “It’s a way of expressing ur feelings. Being true to your self and self care.”
