<p>Hitmaka recently upset <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/twitter-defends-plus-size-model-ashley-graham-amid-body-shaming-fans-want-lizzo-to-get-same-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> users with his <a href="https://twitter.com/_Hitmaka/status/1604509805346947079" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commentary</a> on women in the rap game.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Hitmaka Says He Needs &#8216;A Pretty Female Rapper That&#8217;s Strictly About Bars&#8217;</h3>
<p>The situation unfolded on Sunday after Hitmaka—who was previously known as Yung Berg—made an odd announcement online.</p>
<p>He initially proclaimed that he &#8220;can&#8217;t wait to work with a pretty female rapper that&#8217;s strictly about bars to even the playing field.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then, the producer explained that, while &#8220;p***y rap&#8221; had &#8220;shock value&#8221; in the past, he thinks it&#8217;s worn out and overdone.</p>

<p>A couple of hours later, Hitmaka issued a follow-up tweet and announced, &#8220;Top of the year I&#8217;m starting this female rapper project.&#8221;</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Social Media Slams Hitmaka Over His Comments</h3>
<p>It swiftly became evident that social media users were largely against the producer on the subject.</p>
<p>Specifically, many took issue with Hitmaka wanting to work with a &#8220;pretty&#8221; rapper, suggesting that he wouldn&#8217;t be interested in someone who spits bars but doesn&#8217;t meet his physical expectations.</p>

<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1604783350325067776" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>People also side-eyed what he meant by &#8220;pretty.&#8221;</p>

<p>While responding to him, Twitter users clowned Hitmaka over his history of getting robbed.</p>

<p>Additionally, they also brought up past abuse allegations against the star.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Asian Doll &; LightSkinKeisha Chime In</h3>
<p>Some noteworthy women in the rap game took the time to share their thoughts on the matter.</p>
<p>Without directly naming Hitmaka, Asian Doll questioned why men are &#8220;always worried&#8221; about what female rappers are discussing.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;N***as been rapping bout the same thing since rap was invented.. ladies rap for the ladies not for you n***as. We running s**t rn so let us be US.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>She humorously went on to add, &#8220;Even tho I don&#8217;t only rap about my p***y still Stfu.&#8221;</p>
<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1604876869077278721" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>On the other end of the spectrum, however, LightSkinKeisha jumped to Hitmaka&#8217;s defense. She also alleged that fans themselves are part of the reason why the industry is so obsessed with attractiveness.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;How y&#8217;all mad at Hitmaka for saying he wants to work w/ a pretty female rapper? Let&#8217;s be real, y&#8217;all not supporting nothing that u don&#8217;t find attractive in some way! Cus if it&#8217;s a &#8216;ugly&#8217; female rapper, y&#8217;all gone rip her to shreds and remind her she ugly every chance y&#8217;all get!&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>At this point, we should note that—despite the controversy—Hitmaka was just glad to have gotten the conversation started.</p>

<p>Do you agree with the backlash, or do you personally understand his point?</p>
