Whenever a socio-political movement is challenging the norm, people tend to get uncomfortable. During Amber Rose’s third installment of her annual Slut Walk in Los Angeles this past weekend, her boyfriend rapper 21 Savage showed up in full support.
The Atlanta-rapper fell victim to the internet’s violent wrath of mocking memes and cringe worthy status updates after he was seen with Rose in tow, holding a sign that read “I’m A Hoe Too.”

In defense of Savage, Muva took to social media to shut down all the haters and critics of his participation. She offers a valid point through her Instagram story, and stresses that just because he’s supporting her doesn’t mean he’s a completely different person—rather, he’s a good protective and supportive partner.
“How the f**k is my man not a savage anymore?” Rose said. “Do y’all want him to pistol whip me? Beat me up? Shoot up the SlutWalk? Like what the f**k do y’all want?”
The walk, is designed to denounce the constant misogyny, violence and sexual assault women endure everywhere. It’s also an inclusive movement for all people of color and the LGBTQ community. Essentially, it’s a new take on intersectional feminism.
The “Famous” rapper also had a few choice words of his own for those coming at them with negativity.
“Y’all need to get off a ni**a’s d**k,” he said. “Get off my di*k. Yeah, get off my b***h di*k too. SlutWalk was fun as a motherf**ker.”
