If there’s anyone who doesn’t mind being open about love and lust, it’s the “Age Of Pleasure” mastermind themselves.
Janelle Monáe’s quite well-known for being open about pretty much anything: their artistry, sexuality, politics, fashion style, intimacy, and the list goes on. As such, they seem like the perfect guest to spontaneously and hilariously react to fans’ thirsty tweets towards them online. That’s exactly what the Age Of Pleasure creative did in a recent sit-down video with BuzzFeed, and although it came out over a week ago, moments from it are just now going viral. Regardless, Janelle is still so funny and charismatic in this clip that we wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the kind of video that keeps popping up every once in a while.
“‘I want to lick Janelle Monae’s armpits,’” one fan’s tweet read, and the singer reacted quite excitedly to it. “Augh! Who are you? Where are you? Come and get them,” they remarked while raising their arms in the air, shaking them for emphasis. “Ooh, I love it! I love it, I love it. Shoutout to all of the hairy pits. To the NB (non-binary) hairy pit community.” Of course, that was just one of many notable moments from the video that are just now making their way into online circles.
Janelle Monae Offers Their Armpits To A Thirsty Fan
Janelle Monáe has been embracing her natural sexuality as of late, but not everyone is a fan.
Back in June, the 37-year-old took the stage at Essence Festival in New Orleans. During her performance, she lifted a part of her top and exposed her right breast to the audience as she lept singing
The event’s official Twitter page shared a clip of this and captioned it: “ YOU CANNOT POLICE @JanelleMonae.” Soon after, another user retweet the video and wrote: “Unnecessary on so many levels and for so many reasons.”
In response, veteran rapper Luther Luke Campbell (aka Uncle Luke) wrote: “What is this girl going through? She’s never been out there like this.. is it a midlife crisis?”
Monáe has explained that she is comfortable in her own skin and has no regrets about baring her breasts — in fact, she said she is “much happier” showing them off.
The singer and actor spoke with Rolling Stone about her new album, The Age Of Pleasure. During the conversation, Monáe discussed entering an era of sexual liberation and freedom.
She also discussed receiving backlash for flashing her breasts at an event celebrating the release of her single and music video, “Lipstick Lover
The “Tightrope” singer has remained unbothered by criticism of the NSFW promotional campaign for her latest album. “I’m much happier when my titties are out and I can run around free,” she told Rolling Stone.
That said, Uncle Luke’s comments will most likely have no bearing on Monáe, who seems to be in a great place overall
