If it’s one singer Black women love, it’s R&B crooner, Maxwell. BUT if there was one person Black women couldn’t have been more pissed off with at one point in time, it’s Maxwell. A few years ago, Maxwell was put on blast by many of his Black female fans and things got heated on Instagram after he cursed them out. Well fast forward to a few years later and  Maxwell seems to have changed his tune about Black women somewhat…

WHY BLACK FEMALE FANS BLASTED MAXWELL

This photo of the two women (pictured above) is the one that sparked the backlash Maxwell caught from his Black female fans in 2013. It wasn’t just the photo of these two White women (one of whom was allegedly his woman at the time), it was the many months of Maxwell mostly posting photos of White women (and some Latina), that caused his Black female fans to finally call him out on it when he posted this photo. Here are a few comments that were left on Maxwell’s page:

“Here we go again with the white girls SMH Let’s see some Beautiful African Women”

“When he’s going to put out a new album, why he’s so fine, and…oh yeah, why the women that are often all over his Instagram photos aren’t black.”

“Ewww where are the beautiful sisters”

“No hate, but there is a lack of diversity and they are sooooooo skinny. #neverleaveoutyourcorefanbase”

“I’ve been Swallowed that pill.. For a about a month now you will not see him with NO women of color and this girl has her legs wide open?? Oh well to each his own SMH”

Yeah, they called Maxwell out real good one that one, BUT he responded with a VENGEANCE…

MAXWELL CLAPPED BACK AT BLACK FEMALE FANS & IT GOT UGLY

After Maxwell got wind of what his Black female fans were saying about his choosing to post only White and Latina women on his Instagram, although his fan base is mostly made up of Black woman, here’s how Maxwell responded to them:

“Sick of some of you chiming in on my friends and insulting them with racists comments. You know nothing you assume everything and you should know better and worship is for GOD not me so sit down”

“I don’t give a f**k, I’m putting ever[y] type [of] girl in my Instagram go f**k yourself if you’re a racist a**hole!!!!”

So after calling his Black women ‘racists a$$holes,’ you can imagine that didn’t go over too well for the brotha. We’re assuming that’s why he eventually did what he did next…

WHAT MAXWELL’S DID TO WIN BLACK WOMEN OVER

After all the backlash he caught, Maxwell deleted the many photos of the White women that he often flooded his Instagram page with and has now mixed things up a bit. At that time, he’s added photos, such as the one you see above with the caption: “roses are red and chocolate is you,” as a way to show that he has love for Black women and their beauty as well. He still shows love for White women on his page also, but he probably couldn’t stand the heat, so he got outta the kitchen and decided to balance out the women he pays homage to. Beauty comes in all races, so it’s good to see that Maxwell eventually listened to the messages behind his fans’ frustration.
