From Ciara to Alicia Keys to our favorite billionaire beauty Rihanna, itβs not unusual for celebrities to get into the beauty business. But itβs not every day that a celebrity launches a beauty brand that has the internet completely divided β thatβs where Sexyy Red comes in.
In an August 19 Instagram post, the 26-year-old rapper announced her revamped lip gloss line, Northside Princess, with a series of photos she captioned, βBO$$ LADY SPEAKIN π£οΈβ¦. New and improved @sexyyred_products is back better den eva !!β

Although it may seem like a no brainer for someone who goes by the name Sexyy Red to jump into the makeup game, the always-provocative rapper is pushing the envelope with this line and causing some to say her new products are anything but sexy.
With shade names like βCoochie Juice,β βYellow Dischargeβ and βGonorrhea,β you might be a little embarrassed to ask for these glosses at your local Sephora or Ulta store.
Some die-hard Sexxy Red fans shared that they canβt wait to get their hands on the new and improved line.
βWhere I can purchase that set of glosses!!! I need them in my life!β wrote one commenter.
βGo sexyyyy πππ₯π₯π₯β wrote another.
But others questioned the questionable shade names in the comments of her post.
βI wanted them until I saw the names πππβ wrote someone.
βCome on now itβs getting hard to Defend you π©,β wrote another.
Other commenters took it a step further, calling on the βGet it Sexyyβ artist to set a better example for her young fans.
βStop! Do better! I get it, its an easy way to make MONEY BUT show the world that you are a classy, intelligent Black woman! Be a woman kids can look up to! You have the platform, use it wisely!β wrote someone.
Whether you think the names are marketing genius or completely disgusting, one thingβs for sure β Sexyy Red has plenty of people talking.
