Professor Green in trouble over tweet
Monday 30th July 2012 | Osh
Professor Green has caused quarrels this week over his tweet concerning the eating disorder, bulimia. The rapper quoted lines from Nas’ track ‘Queens Get The Money’, which mentions “I’m over they heads like a bulimic on a see-saw”. Green claimed Bulimia was “quite an intelligent eating disorder...[and how] it’d be easier to chew food and spit it out but still, you get to eat whatever you want and stay skinny. # winning”.
In response to the controversy, Professor Green went stated “Queue all the people who start telling me how insensitive I am and how bulimia jokes aren’t funny... yadda, yadda yadda...I’m just trying to find a way to be in New York and not become a fat b**tard (sic)”. The star described some of his followers as “hypocrites”, asserting that they were being particular over what they believed was offensive. The rapper justified his comments, admitting that he tends to joke about his own obsessive compulsive disorder, tweeting “I have OCD, I find OCD jokes funny”.
At the moment, the artist has just left for America with Made in Chelsea’s Millie Mackintosh for her 23rd birthday.
Have a listen to his titled album track ‘At Your Inconvenience’ below which has also caused much controversy due to its lyrics.
