Mos Def Responds To Questions Regarding His New Skirt

[AllHolosEve]

Damn, we can't even hate gay shyt on the Coli anymore? The fukk is going on around here? How long has Mos Def been in Africa? Has he been wearing those traditional skirts or does he think it's okay because African Americans are dipping their toes in the fruit punch? nikkas gonna be walking around in thongs talking about it's traditional African loin cloths.

"but the original tribes rocked this though"

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

This is what chiefs wear

Is that a skirt? You got countless people telling you the real, yet you insist on being a smart dumb nikka

Im talking bout that wrap u fakkit
The fact u idiots keep calling it a skirt proves u dont know shyt
Mad ppl wear that shyt in Africa..even Middle Eastern countries
Eat a dikk nikka

ghanaian.chiefs.don't.wear.that.wrap.like.mos.def.is.wearing.it.

get it?

also, which places in africa do they wear the wrap the way mos def is wearing since you are so sure?

 

[Grizzly]

it's a wrap...thats traditional African clothing..completely normal...i dont usually see it worn with a dress shirt though..it's usually worn with just a regular t-shirt or loose fitting long sleeve

Do y'all really think it'll get to the point where the average man is walking around in a skirt?

Would it have to get to that point before head in the sand cats like you realize that something is going on?

 

[Takerstani]

People (in general) are reaching. It's not a skirt. Let's not deflect from that black mini skirt debacle.

African-Americans clowning an African-American man for wearing traditional African clothing in Africa..funny

 

[Ashtrey]

my culture rocks sarongs so i got no problem with men wearing long traditional "skirts" but what Mos Def got on is kinda fruity.. its a smedium skirt with red velvet cake loafers ...

I rock this in the summer at home tho

This is way different than Omar Epps leather skirt, so I give him a pass.

 

[WaveGang]

White people have nothing to do with it but ok.

its called colonialism

 

[Egomaniacal1]

Has anyone tweeted this to Lord Jamar so he can weigh in?

 

[Tallac]

In my home country people dress like that, well, it depends on tribes tho

 

[The Unknown Hype]

its weird the kids dont look feminine in the skirts but he does

So, none of you guys with African fathers ever saw him wearing a wrapper around the house??? Y'all are so homophobic, jesus christ.

Ahh....growing up African.

I wore my dad's dashikis and garb when I was younger on some "stylin on you:" ish. LOL!

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

this clown tryna justify wearing a skirt by bringing up Africa lol

Mos Def is another Hollyweird nikka too smh who woulda thought

Mos has been losing it to Hollywood...

I'm Nigerian and have never seen my dad wear a wrapper around the house or anywhere else

I've never seen my dad wear a wrapper...just the long shirt/tunic pants combo for family events.
