Co-host Vivica A. Fox refers to Young Thug as “a good sexy ass-looking cockroach.” The comment aired January 5th on Fox Soul’s “Cocktails With Queens”.
During a discussion about Claudia Jordan and Young Thug, Fox was questioned about bout Thug’s fashion sense. The question was asked to see whether Fox finds Young Thug attractive. Fox’s response is something that’s memorable, to say the least.
“You know he’s, like, just like a good sexy ass-looking cockroach. And I don’t mean that mean. You know what I mean? It’s like, the hair and everything like that. He’s got rockstar quality. He could be a great animation character.”
Furthermore, it would seem that the actress, now co-host, tried to convey her response in the nicest way possible. After some back and forth, Fox continues to clarify.
“I meant that in the kindest term though, you know what I mean?” she said. “Because his features are just very, you know. But he’s very rockstar. He loves his diamonds, he loves fashion, he loves pushing buttons, and he makes good music. But his ass is not as big as Jay-Z’s.”
In addition to the Cocktails with Queens co-host response, twitter comments have ranged from utter disbelief to those calling her out for colorism.

Question: Was Vivica Fox Wrong for her response about Young Thugs Appearance? To add insult to injury, her response has sparked colorism critiques. Was Foxs’ comment rooted in colorism? If so, how?
