Carissa, the mother of embattled rapper Blueface, has launched a blistering defense of her son after he faced widespread backlash for comments widely interpreted as colorist, turning the tables on critics by accusing dark-skinned women of being “insecure” and unable to accept a compliment. In a fiery, unscripted monologue captured on video and obtained exclusively by 9 Mag TV, Carissa did not hold back, dismissing the controversy as a manufactured crisis rooted in self-hatred and a refusal to embrace brown skin.
“Your son is a colorist,” Carissa said, mimicking the accusations that have flooded social media since Blueface told a dark-skinned woman, “I love your skin. You look so nice that dark.” The video, which has since gone viral, shows Blueface’s interaction with a woman identified only as Chad, where he repeatedly used the word “good” in a way that many viewers found condescending and racially charged.
But Carissa saw it differently. “Now, if he told that girl, ‘Your skin is so beautiful,’ where did you get colorist out of that?” she demanded.
“If you don’t know how to take a compliment because you a brown girl and you don’t know how to love your brown skin, he don’t know nothing about that.”
The mother of the “Thotiana” rapper did not stop there. She launched into a full-throated critique of what she perceives as a double standard in how compliments are received by women of different skin tones. “He knows I think I’m better than all the okay?
The light ones, the green ones, the white ones, the Mexican ones,” she declared, her voice rising. “He knows how his mama think as a brown-skinned woman. And if you give me a brown skin compliment, I know how to take it just like y’all give the red bones.
They be like, ‘Oh, that’s a bad red bone right there.’ Y’all don’t say nothing. But the minute that give us a compliment because we chocolate, we want to buck up like we still out there in the fields.”
Carissa’s remarks come at a time when the hip-hop community is once again grappling with the issue of colorism, a deeply entrenched bias that privileges lighter skin tones over darker ones. Blueface, whose real name is Johnathan Porter, has a history of controversial statements, but this latest incident has reignited debates about how Black women, particularly those with darker complexions, are treated in the public eye. The video of his comment, which has been viewed millions of times, prompted a wave of criticism from fans and activists who accused him of reinforcing harmful stereotypes.
Carissa, however, sees the backlash as evidence of a deeper insecurity among dark-skinned women.
“No, you a cute brown-skinned woman. Embrace your brown. I love my brown skin.
Come on now,” she said, addressing her critics directly. “And I’m as a colorist. But the minute he be like, ‘Oh, that’s a fine red bone right there,’ y’all make it that way because y’all don’t want us brown chocolate black neck girls to get compliments because y’all know when we get old, we going to over you.
You know when we get old, God gave us this melanin and when we get 53, we going to look better than your wife mama. That’s just what it is.”
The monologue then took a sharp turn, veering into territory that left many viewers stunned. Carissa began addressing what she called “voodoo” practices, accusing some women of resorting to supernatural means to attract men. “Don’t nobody care about that girl’s voodoo.
If you do voodoo and you ain’t rich and you over there doing all that to get rich, then that voodoo is not working,” she said, her tone dripping with disdain. “If you got to do all of that, baby, just try Jesus. Just try Jesus.
Okay? Because ain’t nobody got to do all of that and voodoo and still got to go back when it’s over back to that little shack with no windows. So ain’t no way you going to tell me that stuff work.”
Carissa’s remarks about voodoo appeared to be a direct response to a specific individual or group she believes is targeting her son, though she did not name names. The reference to “voodoo” has sparked its own wave of speculation online, with some fans suggesting she is alluding to a rival or a former associate of Blueface. Regardless of the target, Carissa used the opportunity to deliver a broader message about self-worth and personal responsibility.
“If you got to do voodoo at 25 to get you a man, baby, just forget it. Just forget it. Please, and if y’all out there doing voodoo, don’t tell nobody.
That is the ugliest thing I ever heard. I’m doing voodoo on you. Come on.
Y’all don’t have no dignity whatsoever.”
Throughout the nearly 20-minute video, Carissa oscillated between defending her son and offering unsolicited life advice to women she believes are failing to meet basic standards of self-care. She criticized women who “walk around like you don’t give a about yourself,” urging them to “wake your up and put more effort into yourself, into your house, into your children.” She boasted about her own success in relationships, noting that she had three husbands without ever resorting to “sprinkling no ju guu or muju on nobody.”
The implication was clear: women who rely on external tricks rather than internal strength are doomed to fail.
But it was Carissa’s central argument about colorism that is likely to dominate headlines in the coming days. She insisted that the real problem is not Blueface’s choice of words but the inability of dark-skinned women to accept praise. “Only people crying about that is people that don’t love themselves,” she said.
“Because we hear it all day on this whole internet. Oh, India. Oh, she li Oh, the light.
Oh, the light. The minute they start saying dark, y’all want to make it like ho ho ho. Don’t say dark.
Don’t say dark. That’s wrong. Don’t do that.
Get out of here. You could say dark skin all you want to. Just like y’all be saying light.
She light with good hair. Yes, we dark. We dark.
Brown skin with nappy hair. We strong and we beautiful and we going to be that way when we get old.”
Carissa’s defense of her son has drawn a mixed response. Some fans have applauded her for speaking her mind and challenging what they see as a culture of victimhood. Others, however, have accused her of gaslighting dark-skinned women and dismissing legitimate concerns about colorism in the Black community.
Social media platforms have been flooded with reactions, with hashtags like #BluefaceMom and #Colorism trending on X, formerly Twitter. One user wrote, “Carissa is not the one to be talking about insecurity when her son is literally known for being insecure about his own image. This is deflection at its finest.”
Another countered, “She’s right. If you can’t take a compliment, that’s on you. Stop looking for reasons to be offended.”
The controversy has also drawn attention from mental health professionals and cultural commentators. Dr. Simone Whitmore, a clinical psychologist specializing in racial identity, told 9 Mag TV that Carissa’s comments reflect a broader societal tension.
“Colorism is a real and painful issue, but it’s also a deeply personal one,” Dr. Whitmore said. “When someone like Carissa says that dark-skinned women are insecure, she is tapping into a long history of internalized racism and the pressure to prove one’s worth.
However, dismissing the pain of those who have been marginalized by colorism is not helpful. It only deepens the divide.”
Blueface himself has not directly addressed the backlash, but his mother’s intervention suggests that the family is circling the wagons. The rapper, who has faced legal troubles and public feuds in recent years, is no stranger to controversy. His comments about dark-skinned women are just the latest in a series of incidents that have tested his fan base’s loyalty.
Some supporters have argued that the entire episode is a misunderstanding, pointing out that Blueface’s compliment was genuine. Others remain unconvinced, noting that his choice of words—”good darker”—carries a paternalistic undertone that cannot be easily dismissed.
Carissa’s video, which was recorded in a single take and appears to be unscripted, has been viewed over 2 million times in less than 24 hours. It has been shared across multiple platforms, with reactions ranging from outrage to amusement. The video’s raw, unfiltered nature has only added to its virality, with viewers dissecting every word and gesture.
Carissa’s passionate delivery, complete with hand gestures and direct eye contact with the camera, has been compared to a sermon or a motivational speech. But beneath the theatrics, her message is clear: she will not allow her son to be labeled a colorist, and she believes that the real problem lies with those who cannot accept a compliment.
The timing of the controversy is particularly sensitive, as the entertainment industry continues to grapple with issues of diversity and representation. In recent years, several high-profile figures have been called out for colorist remarks, including rappers, actors, and influencers. The conversation has become increasingly nuanced, with many advocating for greater awareness of the ways in which colorism affects opportunities, self-esteem, and mental health.
Carissa’s dismissal of these concerns as mere “insecurity” has struck a nerve, with some accusing her of willful ignorance.
Yet, Carissa remains unapologetic. In the final minutes of the video, she returned to her central theme: self-love. “I love my brown skin,” she said, her voice softening.
“And they could walk up to me and say, ‘You a bad brown skinned baby.’ I know. I know.
My mama was. My mama is too. Only people crying about that is people that don’t love themselves.”
She then offered a final piece of advice to her critics: “Enjoy your privilege while you can because the tables always turn. Okay? So, don’t get on here calling nobody no colors because they gave a brown-skinned girl a chocolate girl compliment that she couldn’t accept because she didn’t have enough security within herself.”
As the video ends, Carissa is seen sighing deeply, as if exhausted by the weight of the controversy. The camera lingers on her face for a moment before fading to black. The screen then displays the 9 Mag TV logo, along with a call to action: “Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe.”
For Carissa, the matter is closed. But for the thousands of women who have weighed in on the debate, the conversation is far from over. Whether you agree with her or not, one thing is certain: Carissa has ensured that Blueface’s comments will not be forgotten anytime soon.
In the aftermath of the video, Blueface’s team has not issued an official statement. However, sources close to the rapper indicate that he is grateful for his mother’s support and is focused on moving forward. Meanwhile, the woman at the center of the original video, identified only as Chad, has not publicly responded to the backlash.
Her silence has only fueled speculation about her perspective, with some calling for her to speak out. For now, the story remains a flashpoint in the ongoing debate about colorism, self-esteem, and the power of words.
As the sun sets on another day of controversy in the world of hip-hop, one thing is clear: Carissa’s voice has added a new and unexpected dimension to the conversation. Whether she is seen as a defender of her son or a provocateur, her words have resonated with millions. And in a culture where every comment is scrutinized and every gesture analyzed, that is no small feat.
The question now is whether the dialogue will lead to greater understanding or further division. Only time will tell.
