Rapper Trick Daddy has never been too shy to share how he feels, and he usually does so with no filter. During his interview on the “Nene Leakes Show,” he did just that, and it might have rubbed some of the women the wrong way. During the podcast, he shared his experiences with Lupus, and how the diagnosis affected him personally and professionally. He also spoke about his prior run-ins with the law, and the things he’s learned about maintaining the financial freedom and lifestyle that the entertainment industry brought him. Though, it wasn’t until the topic of dating came up that the conversation took a turn.

Nene asked about his marriage to estranged wife Joy Young and their relationship status, which led to her asking if he’s currently dating or in a relationship. He answered, “I’m very wide—like wide open, very whore-ish man.” The 51-year-old  went on to say that although he sees a lot of women, he’s not intimate with them all, and then the bomb dropped: “With the exception of you and maybe two or three other women, right, I’m not attracted to no women over 35 years old.” Both the statement and the reasoning behind his preference have women of all ages side-eyeing the Miami rapper. “Y’all standards are too high, y’all are too emotional, y’all are damaged goods from y’all past relationships.”

After the interview aired, the clip went viral, and several women responded to his comments. One X user tweeted, “I hope I never reach this level of delusion in my life,” and another said, “‘Yall standards are too high,’ so you want younger women to do less for them? Mm. Telling…”

Dismissing women over 35 as “damaged goods” hit a nerve, especially when paired with the suggestion that emotional maturity and having standards are somehow flaws. What could’ve been framed as a personal preference ended up feeling like a jab, and for many, it crossed the line from honesty to disrespect
