Toosii and Asian Doll
Size
Toosii and Asian Doll are currently in a disagreement following his remarks about contemporary fame. During an Instagram Live broadcast on Saturday (Oct. 5), the artist known for “Favorite Song” expressed his grievances towards women—particularly girlfriends and baby mothers—who amass significant online followings simply by being linked to rappers or other celebrities.
“Since when did being someone’s girlfriend equate to fame? When did that ever become a mark of celebrity?” Toosii questioned the audience via the platform. “You’ll see women being viewed as celebrities, and you won’t even know what they actually do. They’re merely someone’s girlfriend or the mother of their child. That’s wild. They don’t have a product to promote. They aren’t doing anything substantial. They’ve gained notoriety simply because the public has elevated them.”
He went on to specify, “I’m not referring to anyone’s [baby’s mother] specifically.” Unfortunately, many on social media, including Asian Doll, perceived the NAUJOUR artist’s comments as a slight directed at his own child’s mother.
“Be cautious of who you choose to date because some men become bitter over your success but expect you to remain stagnant for theirs,” the Dallas-born rapper cautioned on Sunday (Oct. 6). She followed this statement with, “Toosii, you [are] gay… That’s the end of the conversation.”
Subsequently, both artists began sharing nostalgia-laden images of each other that some may deem unflattering. “At that time, I was just a pretty boy,” Toosii responded to the backlash. “Everyone has their MySpace [and] Facebook photos that look like that, and I was dating one of the most attractive women in the city.”
Recently, Toosii unveiled his new project, JADED, on Friday (Oct. 4). This 13-track collection features pre-released singles such as “Champs Élysées” with Gunna and “Fuk You Mean.” Moreover, collaborations with Muni Long and Kehlani showcased their lush vocals on tracks like “I Do” and “Ok… Whatever,” respectively.
In contrast, Asian Doll recently released “Blood On My Hands” in August, marking her first project as the primary artist since the remix of “Where the Fun N**gas At?” featuring Gloss Up.
