Remy ma is catching a lot of flak after she made controversial comments about survivors of segxwal assault.
During Monday’s episode of Revolt TV’s talk show State of the Culture, the rapper sat down with Joe Budden, Brandon “Jinx” Jenkins, and Eboni K. Williams, during which they talked, among other things, Antonio Brown who was recently accused of rape by multiple women.
Per Yahoo News: Brown, a former NFL wide-receiver, was recently released from his contract with the New England Patriots after a second woman leveled segxwal assault allegations against him. Brown has denied those claims. The first woman to accuse Brown, Brittany Taylor, a former trainer, filed a lawsuit against the football star.
And this was a topic of discussion among the personalities on State of the Culture.
“If it was a rape, ‘first of all, why are you not going to criminal court?’” Williams, an attorney, asked of people who question rape victims. “‘Why are you not going to the police and he’s not arrested?’ This first accuser went the civil route. She filed a lawsuit, she’s asking for money, but some people feel like that’s the compensation that they want.”
“That’s called prostitution,” Remy Ma interrupted.
“I don’t think so,” Williams disagreed.
“No, it’s prostitution,” Remy Ma continued. “It seems like in a lot of these alleged segxwal assault cases the women are asking for money. ‘Hey give me money and I’ll feel better.’ To me, in any exchange with segxwal acts of being compensated with money that’s prostitution.”
As expected, this stirred a heated conversation on social media, with many fans expressing their disappointment and anger at Remy Ma’s comments.

You sat comfortably on a couch, at your big age & said when rape victims, sue their abusers for money, it’s prostitution? Nah, it’s restitution!
How disgusting & ill informed of you! Why did I expect more from a woman, who shot her friend over $3,000? @RealRemyMa pic.twitter.com/LKlQtoYf0N
