CLICK TO SEE THE PURPORTED TOPLESS PICTURES OF KREAYSHAWN
This is weird. Very weird. Unless you believe in cosmic Karma, which I definitely do after approximately seven beers.
I had just been reading up on the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards and came across music artist slash rapper slash some kind of fashionista snarky icon from the S.F. Bay Area who goes by the name, Kreayshawn. I know, it sounds like a bad AIM user name. But, Kreayshawn was not only handpicked by MTV to cover the red carpet for the VMA's tonight, she was up for Best New Artist her own badself (which, in a grand bit of nomenclature irony, she lost to 'Tyler, the Creator', guess he got bonus points for proper syntax or something.) If you've heard Kreayshawn's Gucci Gucci song before, then you've got a leg up on me MTV music wise.
Now, here's the Egotastic! kicker. Kreayshawn's Twitter account starts blowing up on her big night when suddenly topless photos purportedly of Kreayshawn start coming across her Twitter. The best I can reckon, she claims innocence to the publishing of what looks like (but can't be sure) her own birthday suit photos. Anyhow, her account was suspended, but not before her unclad self portraits made it halfway around the Twitterverse and back. Well, what can we say but, Kreayshawn, nice way to meet you.
We'll update if we can get anything that seems like reliable information. Enjoy.
(P.S. Thanks to a ton of you for writing in with news tips, including 'Jonathan', 'Adam', 'Kenny', and 'Adam' to name but a few. Love our Readers.)
Maud on Music: In Defense of the Indefensible, Namely, Kreayshawn
(Editor's Note: Though largely unchallenged by the reporting media, Kreayshawn's night-of-VMA seemingly drunken typo-filled Tumblr rant about the age-inappropriateness of her self-produced photos remains completely unsubstantiated.)
Self-styled rapper and social commentator, Kreayshawn, has made one thing perfectly clear: she doesn’t give a fuck about haters.
If you’re not into her, she’s not into you. Which is probably why a girl who is a mediocre, at best, rapper, could become a reasonably successful rap artist in the first place. Haters love to hate, and will do so until the end of time (or until people stop making whack records and doing whack things, which will be never). And because of all these haters, and the digital age posse that glom onto all things negative online, Kreayshawn will continue to exist as a public figure for the foreseeable future.
