Vince Staples found himself trending on Twitter recently after a viral video surfaced of a Christian mother reacting unfavorably to his “Norf Norf” song.
If you haven’t seen it, the unnamed woman is crying uncontrollably as she recites the lyrics to Staples’ song. Apparently, while she was dropping her kids off school, she heard the song on her car radio and freaked out. The woman found the lyrics shocking and couldn’t believe that the song is getting airplay on mainstream radio.
Folks on Twitter have criticized the woman for overreacting and not understanding Staples’ point of view about the harsh realities of living in Long Beach, Calif.
Staples himself responded to the video in question after being misquoted in The Independent. He urged his fans not to teased the woman who clearly didn’t get the gist of his lyrical content.
