They went on to talk about how females online look at how famous Kim Kardashian got after her sex-tape leaked years ago, and they feel they can also get popular from showing a little flesh here and there. He said all you see when you go on Instagram is ass.
"We in an era were fame and talent are at odds. And people would do anything for fame. You know it don't sound ridiculous anymore that Kardashian made a sex tape. If you could have...If you know that a sextape can get you that? You're doing that all day long. All you do is go on instagram and all you see is ass. They don't make the sex tape because they don't want to get thrown off the platform. But they are doing everything to insinuate that they're lesbians or, look at my ass, or I'm selling ass, or you can get this ass, whatever. N*&gas is doing stupid sh*t too. It's taking away from talent."
