Fat Joe Yeezy Boot : Addresses Backlash For Wearing It?
Fat Joe is defending his Yeezy boots after going viral for a picture he posted wearing them and a pink hoodie.
The Bronx-born rapper created a stir this week when he posted a fit pic ahead of NYC’s winter storm. Joe was seen rocking a tan Balenciaga jacket, a pink Celine hoodie, and a pair of medium-wash denim. But the items that received the most attention were his YEEZY NSTLD boots, which were criticized as ugly, outlandish, and inappropriate for someone as old as Joe
People said the rapper should dress his age.
“What the f*ck do y’all mean by, ‘Dress your age?’ Should I wear a golf shirt? I don’t know if you know this, I’ve been so fly that it’s, like, working against me now. I’m getting backlash for being so fly. I wanna know why I can’t be fresh. Those Yeezy boots are sold out,” he said.
“No, I don’t a mistake, that sh*t fly,” Joe said after being pressed. “And let me tell you something, I’m supporting Black-owned businesses when I throw on some Kanye’s. Fashion ain’t for everybody. Everybody just don’t get it. You’re right: the 40 Below, Timberland, super fly. But that’s the comfortable, the norm. The boot is good money. I’m telling you. I’m ready to sell this boot. I’m ready to make an NFT of this boot The boot is here to stay.”
Should he let the boots go?
