Nupe Breezy! How Do The Kappas Feel About Chris Brown Jacking Their Shimmy?

Leave a comment

Are the “Pretty Boys” pissed off or happy that they have found a celebrity Greek imposer in Chris Brown?

As homecoming season draws to an end, with Spelman, Morehouse and Hampton hosting their annual party this weekend, many are looking to the Kappas to explain why over the last three months Chris Brown has been able to shimmy without reprimand?

In his hit song “Heat” featuring Gunna,  Breezy is seen perfectly coiffed dressed to the nines like he stepped right out of GQ. And STEPPED would be the operative word. In the video he borrows moves from two fraternities, Phi Beta Sigma and Kappa Alpha Psi for his silky smooth choreographer. While you can clearly see a slowed down Sigma Walk in the video, what has achieved the most attention (as The Nupes tend to do) is the Shimmy. Why?

Because clearly in this fashion forward video most people can associate the groove and look with those smooth Crimson and Cream brothers. Also… maybe because concert after concert, performance after performance you see Brown shimmying his shoulders (Oh he want to be honorary so bad!!!!).

 

While Chris is a celebrity faking the funk, there are some celebrities that are members of the fraternity.

Colin Kaepernick, GQ’s Citizen of the Year, wears the diamond proudly. Movie/ Television director and Philly native, Stan Lathan (also Sanaa Lathan’s pop) is a playboy. Christian rapper Lecrae gets his shimmy on. Megachurch pastor, Rev. Jamal Bryant is not only dipped in the the crimson blood of Jesus, but loves the crimson and cream that represents his frat. There are plenty more in all aspects of life. And maybe Brown wants to make a bid to join the ranks.  Or maybe, he is just jacking and thinks appropriating this culture is cool.

What is interesting is that while Chris Brown has been bopping all over, dipping and doing the sacred dance like it is the new Milly Rock, some people have felt the wrath of Black Greek letter organizations for appropriating and encouraging people to do the stroll.

Messing With Fashion Nova, Keyshia Cole’s Sister Neffe Gets In Trouble With The AKAs

Leave a comment

Keyshia Cole’s sister, Neffeteria “Neffe” Pugh has never been known to back down from a fight. Remember a few years ago, when she and Iyanla Vanzant went at it over the “Viper Snipe” comment? Well this time, she is in hot water with the Phirst Phamily of Black Greeks.

And get this…. she had no clue why. All she knew is that she was stunting in Instagram in her new Fashion Nova outfit.

Strutting down the street, she does a little promo:

“You guys have been in my DMs. You said ‘Neffe you done lost weight, you looking cute! Where you get that outfit from?” I say Fashion Nova, because I am Fashion Nova certified, baby. Now I am gonna walk off. Now you can go buy this outfit honey. Fashion Nova…. That’s what I said.” Innocent enough huh?

See the thing is… it is not just a cute outfit.  The outfit dons the trademarked color combo and founding year of the first Black Greek-letter sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha.

In 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha was founded on the campus of Howard University. Their colors are pink and green, and are notoriously protective over their distinguished image and likeness. In the comments many took note and tried to tap the shoulder of the reality star, who seems to have invited others to purchase the upscale paraphernalia.

Check out the exchanges between some of the sorority sisters and Neffe.

 







It is important to note that this is not Neffe’s fault. She just got caught in the middle of a greedy corporation moving in ways incredibly disrespectful to the culture of the demographic is eats off of.  They not only pushed the limits with the K’s, but also with the Deltas and Zetas. Featured below are the DST and AKA ones.


While many are up in arms, some just can’t deny how fly the jersey’s are.

Back to Neffe, who you know is not afraid to clapback. No matters, she sure looks cute, though.
