Not bottom feeder chile!
Young Rome recently came out in defense of black women apologizing for his former bandmates’ Marques Houston’s recent tirade about older women.
In part, he wrote:
As a member of Immature, I would like to extend my sincerest apologies in regard to the insensitive statements made by my former group member Marques Houston.
“Black women in particular are often on the receiving end of the constant negative stereotypes they fight against daily.”
As artists, it has always been important to us that the content of our music and who we represent as meant would never disrespect women (especially women of color) and his views do not reflect those of the group.
He was responding to Marques’s remarks in an exclusive interview with Page Six earlier this week.
He told the outlet women his age have too much “baggage.”
“A red flag to me [was] always with a woman that had a kid,” he said. “Nothing against single women, but single mothers with children are a red flag for me.”
Romeo was clear about how he and his bandmates were raised.
He said:
We were raised by a tribe of strong independent women who faced hardships we will never fully understand. Women today have enough battles to endure, including the policing of their bodies, equal pay in the workplace, and beauty standards. It is never ok to degrade one group of women in order to praise another. Black women in particular are often on the receiving end of the constant negative stereotypes they fight against daily.”
Since Romeo called him out, Marques clapped back accusing the media of pitting people against each other seemingly calling his bandmate a “bottom feeder”.
He wrote:
To all my fans, supporters and real truth seekers I can see how the media would love to pin people against people for monetary gain but when your at peace, loving life and able to still make a positive impact in the entertainment world for over 2 decades, it’s so easy to move out the way and let bottom feeders eat. #ProtectYourPeace I LOVE YOU ALL!
