The female hip-hop artist's newest venture, a newly-launched beauty line called Northside Princess, is stirring up both excitement and backlash among social media users.

AceShowbiz - Rapper Sexyy Red has never been one to shy away from controversy, and her newly launched beauty line, Northside Princess, is no exception. Known for her unapologetic and raunchy style, Sexyy Red's latest venture features product names that are grabbing headlines - though not always for the right reasons. With lip gloss shades like "Bootyhole Brown," "Yellow Discharge," "Gonorrhea" and "Sex On My Period," it's no wonder the brand is raising eyebrows.
Critics have labeled these names as overly lewd, and the backlash is predictable from some quarters. "It's funny to think about a middle-aged Macy's worker restocking 'Nut' on shelves," writes one critic. However, another adds, "If you don't buy it, you don't really need to say anything else about it for your opinion to be clear to Sexyy Red and her team."
The rapper introduced Northside Princess with a slew of provocative photos on social media. One picture even showed her bending over with a box of lip glosses resting on her backside, igniting a flurry of mixed reactions. While conservative shoppers may find the explicit nature of her marketing off-putting, her fans are already flooding Instagram with praise, some even labeling her a "marketing genius."
Amid this swirling controversy, Sexyy Red remains relatively unperturbed. She was busy wishing Chief Keef a happy birthday amidst rumors of a love triangle and continuing to deliver electrifying performances. Whether Northside Princess becomes a huge success or falters in the face of its provocative branding remains to be seen. Yet, what's certain is that Sexyy Red is committed to pushing boundaries in both her music and business ventures.
