A$AP Rocky Hits Up Some Very Disrespectful Things About Rita Ora On His A.L.L.A. Album

Lyrics that disrespect women are, unfortunately, nothing new in rap.

And so it is, unfortunately, no surprise that A$AP Rocky carries on the storied tradition on “Better Things,” off of his new album, A.L.L.A., which hit stores on Tuesday, a week before its scheduled release.

The track and its lyrics are particularly notable, too, because rather than generalized misogyny, Rocky offers a very specific kind, pointed directly at Rita Ora.

He raps: “I swear that bitch Rita Ora got a big mouth/ Next time I see her might curse the bitch out/ Kicked the bitch out once ’cause she bitched out/ Spit my kids out, jizzed up all in her mouth and made the bitch bounce.”

There hadn’t been reports (or even rumors) about a relationship, of any level, between Rocky and Rita, which makes this all the more curious — especially when you consider that he’s calling her out for having a “big mouth,” yet he’s the one bringing their history up to the world.

Listeners on Twitter had a wide range of reactions to the track.

Some were appalled and critical of Rocky

So ASAP Rocky is shaming Rita Ora for having a sexual encounter with him, bet he would have shamed her if she did nothing too.

Patriarchy conditions men to fear women's sexual agency. Look at those lyrics. Ugh.

If as a rapper/MC you cant get out of using the B word/N word in your raps, your artistry is rubbish. Your expression is conditioned.

I hate stupid exes. We didnt even know Rita Ora let Asap Rocky hit it. I dont even like her but he's so wrong for talking all that nonsense.

No matter how you slice it, or what went on between them, the rhymes certainly come off flagrant and disrespectful.
