Denzel Curry recently shared an awkward moment with Issa Rae that left a lasting impact on him.
The encounter was so uncomfortable that it led the Florida rapper to stop watching her popular show “Insecure.”
The Encounter
In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Denzel Curry recalled meeting Issa Rae in 2018. During their conversation, Rae mentioned that Curry’s music video for “Clout Cobain” reminded her of the Insane Clown Posse, a comparison that didn’t sit well with the rapper.
Curry was taken aback by the comment. He felt it was a misinterpretation of his art and decided to stop watching Rae’s acclaimed show “Insecure” as a result. The exchange left a significant impression on him.
Fan Reactions
Curry’s tweet about the incident sparked a wave of reactions from fans. Some responded with humor, using crying face emojis to show their amusement. Others took a more serious tone, pointing out the superficial nature of Rae’s comment.
One fan compared Rae’s remark to saying “Insecure” reminds them of “Sex and the City,” highlighting the absurdity of the comparison. Another fan noted that some people can’t see beyond the surface, referencing the face paint Curry and the Insane Clown Posse both use.
Curry’s Music and Its Impact
Despite Rae’s comment, Curry has acknowledged that his music isn’t for everyone. He understands that his work can be divisive and has accepted it.
In a recent podcast appearance, Curry stated, “I know what the fuck I was making. I was just making shit from my heart and my heart was angry at the time.” His candidness about his artistic process is refreshing.
Curry’s Perspective on Music and Intimacy
Curry also shared his thoughts on listening to his own music during intimate moments. When asked if he plays his tracks during sex, he responded with a clear “no.”
He humorously added that if anything, the TV might be on in the background, possibly with Netflix asking, “Are you still there?” Curry’s openness and humor resonate with fans.
Promotion of New Projects
Curry hasn’t let the awkward encounter with Rae overshadow his career. He recently promoted his new project, “King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2,” which features collaborations with notable artists like A$AP Rocky, 2 Chainz, and Juicy J.
The project is a sequel to his 2012 mixtape and includes a diverse lineup of guest appearances from A$AP Ferg, Project Pat, and others. Curry continues to push his creative boundaries.
Released in July, “King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2” has received positive feedback from fans and critics alike, solidifying Curry’s place in the hip-hop world.
Legacy of “Clout Cobain”
“Clout Cobain” remains one of Curry’s most talked-about works. The music video is known for its striking imagery and has left a lasting impression on viewers.
Though the comparison to the Insane Clown Posse was unexpected, it highlights the different interpretations people can have of the same piece of art. Curry’s ability to provoke such strong reactions is a testament to his impact as an artist.
Denzel Curry’s awkward encounter with Issa Rae may have been unsettling, but it hasn’t deterred him from expressing his unique artistic vision.
The Florida rapper continues to make waves in the music industry, drawing both admiration and controversy with his bold and unapologetic style.
