Scar Lip Responds To Backlash After Twerking In New “She’s Hot” Video: “Don’t Put Me In A Box”

Scar Lip wants fans to “grow with” her as she explores new facets of her artistry.

The Bronx-bred rapper took to social media shortly after a clip of her new video, “She’s Hot,” went viral online, with many taking notice of the street spitter switching it up for a sexier look. The clip also features the “This Is New York” artist shakin’ a lil something, which threw many of her fans for a loop.

“I know a few days ago you saw me shaking my booty on the internet. I wanna say, I apologize to all y’all and anybody I offended,” she began. “Now, I know everybody’s like, ‘No, we don’t want you doing that…’ I understand that, right?”

“Let me just say one thing, no one is forcing me to do this,” she added, addressing those who assumed the move was prompted by higher-ups knowing sex sells. “I come up with these things in my head, these crazy ideas.”

“I want you guys to grow with me,” she confessed. “Don’t put me in a box. I’m always gon’ give y’all that street sh*t, I mean, I’m the best to do it, right? And we all know that…but I want to, like, tap into what’s in me! It’s something in me that just wants to come out!” she yelled with emphasis. She went on to thank mentor Swizz Beatz and her label, Epic Records, for allowing her to explore different facets of herself, giving her the, “creative freedom to do what I want.”

Breaking down the new song and video, she continued, “‘She’s Hot’… it really is just a feel-good, summer vibe. I was just like, ‘I wanna feel good this summer! Let me put some summer music out,’ it’s just a feel-good vibe. It’s nothing crazy, and it’s still street.”
