However, one of the most popular teasers from the segment appears to be a heartwarming exchange between the Outkast member and his St. Louis rap counterpart. As Sexyy began venting her frustrations with the double standard she feels she is held to when considering her success, Andre 3000 offers the “U My Everything” rapper a silver lining to the dark clouds of negativity hanging overhead.

“They still don’t believe in me, so I just be like, I’m going to just show y’all,” Sexyy Red said.

“And like he said, they don’t be understanding. We really came from nothing. And then we be making a big achievements. That’s something for us. And then they just be like, you ain’t doing nothing. But for us it’s like, ain’t nobody doing this,” she added.

André 3000 interjected, “But use it as fuel,” Andre 3000 said.

“Fuel. Use it for fuel. Hater fuel man. It’s the best s###. It’s free energy,” he said.

As the continued, both expressed their comfortability playing the role of the underdog.

“I like when they talk about me I ain’t gone lie,” she said, to which he added, “S### free energy because that made me go, that made me go in.”

André concluded, “I love when somebody doubts you,” before Sexyy Red added, “Because I’m now finna show you something.”

“Yeah,” he exclaimed in agreement.
