Maglera Doe Boy has shed light on why he chooses not to insult women in his music.
Before recently deactivating his Twitter account after an old Twitter post of him condoning gender-based violence surfaced, the rapper shed light on why he chooses not to call women b*tches in his music.
In a series of Twitter posts, Maglera Doe Boy said he was inspired by a lyric in US rapper Vince Staples' song Mind-Trap.
“I don’t call women 'b*tches' in my music or real life. I think if you check my music, I haven’t done it in almost eight years now. I heard a Vince Staples song once and he said, Calling women bitches will have you treating your momma different — and that stuck with me,” he wrote.
Maglera Doe Boy spoke of how he had refrained from insulting women in his music for the past eight years and tried to avoid swearing in his raps.

“It’s not for 'fishing' or 'simping'. I can never be a man [if] I can’t be around my old lady and my sisters. They know I did crime and all the stuff I speak on, but it would shock them to hear me speak like I wasn’t raised by a single mother and my sisters.
“I remember I said it once on a feature, maybe like four years ago, and it didn’t feel right any more. Go watch my first Sobering podcast, I speak about it.
“I know it’s a hard concept to take in but I actually don’t even swear a lot, even in my music — close to barely.”
