Sexually Transmitted Infections aren't a particularly flattering, or easy, topic to discuss, but regardless, it's important to normalize that they're a part of life, and more often than not, are treatable. During her recent appearance on Angela Yee's Lip Service podcast to promote her new album, Sexyy Red did her part to destigmatize sexual health by confessing that she was previously diagnosed with Chlamydia on two separate occasions. When the rising rap star shared the news, the hosts were very accepting, noting that it's one of the most common STIs out there.
"This is what happened," Red began to tell her story. "Me and my ni**a was together, and we broke up 'cuz he was cheating on me. Then I went and did me, and he did him," she went on. Of course, it wasn't long before the exes came back into each other's lives (and beds). After hooking up, the "Pound Town 2" hitmaker quickly realized that something felt off about her body's biology, so they both went to the doctor for some testing.

As a clip of Red's STI story makes rounds on social media, plenty of reactions have been pouring in. Some are choosing to take the low route and shame the St. Louis native for her promiscuous past, while others are taking the opportunity to crack jokes about her wild lyrics. After seeing some of the discourse, she dropped by @theneighborhoodtalk's comment section to share a message with the world. "OH SHUT UP I TRUSTED AH 🥷🏾 & GOT GOT ITS LIFE 💯🙏🏾 I’m goodt nie shidddd," she promised readers.
