Right?” Newton said. “And I think a lot of times when you get that aesthetic of like, 'I'm a boss bitch, I'm this, I'm that.' No, baby! But you can't cook. You don't know when to be quiet. You don't know how to let a man lead.” “.
Nicole, who was dating Travis Kelsey At the time, he took to Twitter (now known as X) to respond to these remarks.
“The obsession with women's ability to cook is really comical. Because it's like if your palate is so superior, date a Michelin-starred chef and then Bozo. Surely the average woman is capable of making edible food. How do you think she has survived so far?” ?,” the influencer tweeted.
