Keith Sweat brushed off online criticism with a groove instead of an apology, sharing a video of himself dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s “peekaboo” after comments about “entitled” single women sparked backlash. The 63-year-old R&B icon appeared carefree in the Instagram clip, captioned, “We ain’t worried about nothin the haters gotta say. Enjoy life.”
But in the comment section, Sweat defended his stance. “Y’all tripping. I cook and clean and I don’t have to,” he wrote. “What’s the problem? I said a lot of women don’t even do what I do.”
He added, “If you don’t fall into that category, why y’all trippin? Still love y’all anyway. Back to doing my dance.”
The controversy began during a recent performance, when Sweat criticized women who, in his words, no longer share domestic responsibilities.
“You gotta bring something to the table to get something from me,” he told the crowd. “They don’t want to cook no more. I wash and iron my own clothes. You gotta do something for me.”
The comments quickly circulated online, with many labeling them outdated. Critics accused him of echoing misogynistic talking points often found on social media.
“If Keith Sweat, with all his fame and hits, still can’t find a woman to cook and iron for him, maybe he’s the problem,” one user posted. Another said, “When did Keith start quoting red pill Twitter?”
Rather than walk back his statements, Sweat offered a brief clarification: “I didn’t say all. I said a lot of women. Not all. Y’all need to listen lol.”
The fallout hasn’t slowed his posts, but it has reignited larger conversations about gender roles, generational views, and the expectations placed on public figures. A singer once celebrated for romantic sensitivity now faces a digital climate that challenges nostalgic views with sharper scrutiny.
Whether his fans agree or not, the moment underscores how quickly personal remarks can turn into public flashpoints in the age of social media.
Suki Waterhouse has spoken candidly about how she found herself crying constantly after the birth of her daughter.
The singer and actress reflected on her experience as a mother more than two years after she and her partner, actor Robert Pattinson, welcomed their baby girl in March 2024.
During an interview with The Standard published on Thursday, Suki explained that motherhood has completely shifted her outlook on life.
"I think it's made me marvel at our humanness. It's so funny, even just your kid getting a fever, watching a little body recover from that, it's brought me down to what it is to be alive and I really love that," she said. "It feels very survivalist and medieval in a way, especially birth, birth is medieval."
The Daisy Jones & The Six actress, 34, shared that she was caught off guard by just how exposed and emotional she felt after giving birth to her daughter.
"I'm almost two and a half years in now, but when she was first born, I remember thinking that I can't believe everybody does this and I can't believe how vulnerable I feel," she told the publication. "I was crying all the time."
Suki continued, "It makes me cry now thinking about it. It was just... shocking."
The Notting Hill singer also admitted that she has never considered herself someone who cries easily, making those emotions all the more surprising.
"It's so f**king weird! I'm not a cryer! I'm so not an emotional person, I'm such a Capricorn. But being a mum just fed me up in such a sweet way," she stated. "It just absolutely broke open my heart, and I'm just madly in love and, despite my crying right now, I enjoy it so much and I'm so taken by my daughter and so in love with doing it with my partner and I just feel the preciousness of it very much."
Suki and Twilight actor Robert, 40, have been in a relationship since 2018 and announced they were expecting their first child together toward the end of 2023.
The pair have largely kept their romance away from the spotlight and have yet to publicly share the name of their daughter.
