Keith Sweat waved an online rebound on Kendrick Lamar’s track, and his comments on “qualified” single women inspired social media.
The 63-year-old R&B veteran posted a video on Instagram-danced Lamar’s “Peekaboo.”
“We don’t worry about people who don’t hate them say,” he captioned the edit. “Enjoy life.”

But he didn’t stop there. Sweat goes into the comments section to defend himself.
“You all tripped me to cook and clean, and neither did I,” he wrote. “I said what the problem is that a lot of women don’t even do what I do.”
“If you don’t fall into this category, why does Yall Trippin still like your dance.”
The controversy began with a recent live show, during which Sweat criticized some modern women for not promoting family responsibilities in relationships.
“You have to bring things to the table and buy things for me,” he told the crowd with the current viral clip. “I can’t do anything. They don’t want to cook anymore,”
He also stressed his independence, adding: “I wash my own clothes, iron my own clothes. Something has to be done for me.”

Keith Sweat is called by critics
His comments were quickly distributed online, and many people marked them as outdated and lost contact.
One user tweeted: “Keith Sweat is a 63-year-old successful man with reputation, five kids, recordings and a decent fan base. If he is still having trouble finding a place where a woman cooks and irons for him, it’s a priority… In fact, it’s crucial for him to know that he is a problem.”
Another wrote: “Since he started spitting out misogynistic red pills Twitter and podcast talk points.”
Despite this, sweat was firm and later clarified in a follow-up comment: “I didn’t say I talk about a lot of women and not everyone needs to listen to laugh.”
Both the original comment and his response video were posted on Instagram earlier this week.
