American-Ghanaian rapper and psychologist Diamond White has ignited fresh debate in the global entertainment industry after declaring that “95% of female hip-hop is trashy.”
Speaking on the Big Convo, the outspoken rapper and founder of the movement “I Hustle With My Legs Closed” criticized what she described as the hypersexualized portrayal of women in hip-hop and entertainment.
“Female rappers have turned hip-hop into soft porn. It’s absolutely disgusting,” she said. “Most of the music now isn’t talent-based it’s about sex, body parts and money. It’s damaging our culture.”
According to Diamond, the problem goes beyond music. She believes the entertainment industry deliberately promotes images that exploit women and strip them of integrity.
“They want us especially Black women to be naked, to sleep our way to the top. They don’t want us to have morals or self-respect. That’s what’s being pushed,” she argued.
Her candid remarks, though controversial, reflect her commitment to reshaping narratives for women in the creative space. She added that the issue extends to acting, politics and other industries where women are pressured to compromise to advance their careers.
“It may take me longer, but I’m okay with that,” she said. “When you carry your morals and self-respect, your journey won’t be fast but it’ll be worth it.”
Diamond White, who proudly describes herself as both a rapper and a psychologist, emphasized that her mission goes beyond fame and charts.
“I’m not chasing fame or money. I’m chasing change, growth and God,” she stated.
Her comments have since stirred mixed reactions, with some praising her for speaking truth to power, while others argue that she risks alienating female artistes working hard to redefine hip-hop on their own terms.
Regardless, Diamond’s message is clear: she’s calling for a new era of female empowerment rooted in integrity, artistry and self-respect.
