Keith Sweat danced to Kendrick Lamar while brushing off criticism over his remarks about modern women and domestic expectations.
Keith Sweat brushed off a wave of online backlash with a two-step to a Kendrick Lamar track after his comments about “entitled” single women stirred up social media.
The 63-year-old R&B veteran posted a video on Instagram dancing to Lamar’s “peekaboo.”
“We ain’t worried about nothin the haters gotta say,” he captioned the clip. “Enjoy Life.”
But he didn’t stop there. Sweat took to the comment section to defend himself.
“Yall tripping I cook and clean and I don’t have too,” he wrote. “What’s the problem I said a lot of women don’t even do what I do.”
Sweat added, “If you don’t fall into that category why yall trippin still love yall anyway back to doing my dance.”
The controversy began after a recent live performance, during which Sweat criticized some modern women for not contributing to domestic responsibilities in relationships.
“You got to bring something to the table to get something for me,” he told the crowd in a now-viral clip. “I can’t help it. They don’t want to cook no more,”
He also emphasized his independence, adding, “I wash my own clothes, iron my own clothes. Gotta do something for me.”

Keith Sweat Called Out By Critics
His remarks quickly circulated online, with many labeling them outdated and out of touch.
One user tweeted, “Keith Sweat is a 63 year old successful man, with fame, five children, hit records, and a decent fanbase. If he’s still having trouble finding a woman to cook and iron for him, it’s imperative… actually, it’s CRITICAL for him to know that he is the problem.”
Another wrote, “Since when he started spouting misogynistic red pill Twitter and podcast talking points.”
Still, Sweat stood firm, later clarifying in a follow-up comment, “I didn’t say all I said a lot of women not all yall need listen lol.”
The original comments and his response video were both posted on Instagram earlier this week.
