Aside from the presidential debate that made headlines across the US land, another debate topic is currently in agitating talks on Twitter. The concerned issue talks about the level of acceptance in women to men who cannot afford luxurious stuff.
Saweetie's turn about the topic
According to the Hollywood dedicated news site, Hollywood Life, Diamanté Quiava Valentin Harper, famously known as the 26-year-old rapper Saweetie, started the social media commotion when she released a fiery statement towards the matter.
A viral video of the ICY GIRL singer surfaced on Twitter when she playfully appeared at Quavo's Instagram Live session, indulging the female viewers into the deal of only accepting the offers of men when they can afford a Birkin bag, New York Post finds. The viral video went its way to Twitter on Oct. 23 (Friday), making it a trending topic due to its sensitivity touch.

Here are what critics have to say
The female rapper trended on Twitter, despite the cheeky aura she delivered while stating the principle. However, one couldn't blame the concerned netizens as they speak up against the status discrimination highlighted by Saweetie.
Furthermore, many couldn't also deny that everyone has their lifestyle and upbringing. And it may be that Saweetie holds her stand firm on the matter because it is her lifestyle and way of narrowing down the men that come into her life.
However, critics of the American rapper began pointing out the negative side of Saweetie's statement.
One critic commented on the surfaced video, saying that Saweetie said those exact words because she is rich, and she does not look like she needs a man because she can afford a Birkin herself.
Another Twitter user remarked that Saweetie is not connected with the "reality." The critic further said that Saweetie seems to forget where she comes from, and she does not look like she knows her place.
A fan then exclaimed that a considerable percentage of women want men who can afford a Birkin when only they earn an annual salary that is way lower than the bag cost.
Meanwhile, Birkin bags are the market's most luxurious and expensive finds when it comes to purses. Hollywood celebrities have been seen owning Birkin pieces, including the Kardashians, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B.
