American model, TV personality and singer Amber Rose recently released a new track titled Get Your H*e On or GYHO on June 24, produced by Mannie Fresh who reworked his original production. He also appeared for a cameo in the accompanying music video for the song. The artist is promoting her new song consistently on social media.
The song is being perceived as a provocative version of Big Tymmers’ 2000 hit Get Your Roll On.
Many are questioning the timing of Rose’s song release since the Roe v. Wade ruling was overturned by the Supreme Court on June 24. Twitter user @ZINZI_vs_ZOEY summed up the issue as:
"Amber Rose dropping “GYHO” is bad timing with this Roe v Wade decision"
Moreover, 38-year-old Rose is one of the major forces behind the S*utWalk movement which organises an annual march in Los Angeles to denounce r*pe culture and s*ut-shaming, and stand in solidarity with those who have been s*xually assaulted.
Netizens react to Amber Rose’s song GYHO in light of Roe v. Wade being overturned
When Rose scheduled the release of the song Get Your H*e On, she perhaps did not realise that it would coincide with the overturning of the Roe v. Wade ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States. The country no longer boasts guaranteed federal constitutional protection of abortion rights, with at least 21 states working on and implementing laws to ban abortion.
Upset netizens took to Twitter to express their disappointment at Rose releasing an ill-fitting song like GYHO at this time.
Celebrity singers criticize the overturning of Roe v Wade
Many celebrity singers took to social media to express their disappointment at the Supreme Court's ruling. Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Maren Morris and Halsey are just a few big names who have spoken up.
Taylor Swift wrote on Twitter:
“I’m absolutely terrified that this is where we are – that after so many decades of people fighting for women’s rights to their own bodies, today’s decision has stripped us of that.”
