Wale may be signed to Maybach Music Group, a label known for materialistic lyrics and being a “boss” thanks to Rick Ross, but Wale’s following and dedicated fan base have always supported the DC rapper because of his “conscious” rap lyrics. Wale has substance, so it’s no shocker that many were disappointed once they learned that he had signed with Rick Ross and the Maybach Music Group. Some people have even written Wale off as a “sell out” because of his new allegiance to MMG, however, Wale seems to understand the criticism, although he feels he hasn’t really changed. But apparently, some of his own supporters see a bigger change in him from his behavior on his Instagram account. Some of them aren’t too happy that Wale, a conscious rapper, seems to have a fascination with strippers and enjoys posting pictures of them on Instagram.
Tired of the criticism, the rapper used his Instagram account to vent about his frustrations with being a conscious rapper and his love for strippers.
He posted the following picture and caption while he was high and apparently after he had one too many drinks:
While some people praised Wale for being transparent and addressing his critics, some of his fans are still disappointed that he would post these kinds of pictures on his social networking accounts. Regardless, Wale feels he is being transparent…by posting pictures of strippers on Instagram.
It appears that Wale may be another rapper whose transparency is a little bit of a turn off to his growing female fan base.
Wale stays doing the damn most. I wish he would have a seat.
Cosign!
Wale can now be added to the list of the “conscious” rappers who continuously make themselves look basic…
Why was this necessary? This is why I don’t pay attention to these “conscious” rappers.
Oh please…
This is why I try not to date men who have some sort of addiction to strip clubs.
Exactly.
Typical combination: Deep lyrics penned from a very basic dude. There was no reason to post this. I don’t get the hype over this guy. He raps the same flow on all his songs and he signed with MMG. I’m good.
*blank stare*
LOL. He’s feeing himself a bit too much. I guess he’s salty that a chick with substance turned him down. Smart chick whoever she was.
THIS!
He’s so lame to me.
What??????????? I don’t get this. What was the point?
Really boo? *packs bags and heads to the nearest exit*
Wow he not himself anymore likw wtf was this all for? I love wale but really just stop boo.
