Amber Rose’s “African Queen” Caption Sparks Online Firestorm Despite Charitable Visit To Kenya
Amber Rose may have had good intentions when she touched down in Kenya, but it’s her latest Instagram caption that is currently lighting up the internet which is never a good thing. The model and TV personality recently went to Kenya with Baddies executive producer Natalie Nunn and Zeus Network CEO Lemuel Plummer to shoot Baddies Africa. As part of their visit, the cousins made an emotional visit to a children’s home they supported to give back to the less fortunate. Superficially, it was a good-hearted endeavor for celebrities using their platform for good. But those good vibes were soon replaced by angry backlash.
Celebrity gossip Instagram page The Shade Room caught a post from Amber, since deleted, in which Amber Rose uploaded a photo of her and Nunn posing for what looked like a parody Vogue South Africa photo shoot, a version of Vogue that doesn’t exist. The light-hearted, spoof quality of the image aside, it was the caption that most grabbed attention, “African Queens,” accompanied by a white queen emoji and a mixed-race queen emoji. The caption and emojis struck a nerve for many, for the complicated history of Rose and racial-identity commentary. Critics filled social media with questions about her use of language and the implied self-identification as an “African Queen,” particularly in a performance that seemed to be in odd taste for some.

Rose and Nunn seemed to be having fun themselves, fusing fashion and culture in a playful homage that likely wasn’t meant to be a literal demand. But because of Rose’s previous comments on race and heritage, she wasn’t given the benefit of the doubt on the internet this time. The online conversation swiftly turned from fashion to identity politics, with many asking if someone of mixed heritage could adopt an already culturally fraught title and take it as their own. Amber Rose’s visit to Kenya may have begun with cameras and charitable causes, but it turns out that it has all been leading to a different sort of spotlight, less one that illuminates celebrity stardom and more the social kind.

Phlo-osophy shares a new single, “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)”
Phlo-osophy’s “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” is a thoughtful and relaxing meditation on intellect and existence, packaged with laid-back production that encourages both thought and comfort.

Phlo-osophy’s lyrical style steers into tough concepts spontaneous physics of thought, the chemistry of emotion — and yet remains highly accessible.

The result is a song that teeters between heady curiosity and soulful expression. It’s not out to swamp us with complexity, but to suggest a room in which mind and emotion can cohabitate thoughtfully. “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” serves as a signal of Phlo-osophy’s approach as an enlightening artist who writes not only with heart, but with mind and who welcomes the listener on its journey of self-discovery.
