TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- Shout out to Sexyy for keeping it a buck and not being afraid to live her truth.
- We all have those off days where we're in a funk. Even a star like Sexyy Red!
- Get it Sexyy!
- Even if you're not a fan, you can't deny the astronomical rise Sexyy Red's star has had over the last couple of years.
- This is what we call taking life's lemons and turning them into Lemonade. Shout out to Beyonce.
Sexyy Red is celebrating the success of one of her biggest hits by looking back at what inspired the song.
Last week, the St. Louis rapper’s breakout track, “Pound Town” was certified platinum, while “Get It Sexyy” was certified gold. And while she might be riding a high right now, Sexyy says she was actually at a low point when inspiration hit.
She wrote in a lengthy Instagram caption, “The night ‘Get It Sexyy’ was made I was goin thru a lot. [I] just had my baby, felt depressed and was goin' thru postpartum … my team in Miami would leave me in the studio to write songs & I would just be in there crying thinkin about life… I finally said send me back to St. Louis so I can b around the ones I love and get back to me! Boom I’m in St. Loui [so] I invite all my sisters and friends to my studio session we had blunts, bottles, food allet and I came out wit GET IT SEXYY GET IT SEXYY it really was ah confidence booster for me. We was so turnt. All my sadness was gone. I love my family period. P.S.… I was moaning in the song cause my ho was behind me humpin me while I was recording. [laughing emois].”
