Jill Scott became a worldwide trending topic on Twitter Tuesday (Nov. 3) after a video of one of her concerts surfaced online showing her “rocking the mic” (i.e. simulating oral sex on a microphone).
The NSFW performance sparked endless reactions and memes on Twitter, and even Questlove responded to all the shocked prudes, making fun of “Jill Scott newbies” who didn’t know that many of Scott’s songs are sexually explicit. “Y’all thought she was incense and sandals huh?” he wrote.

Scott also responded to the reactions, tweeting: “I sing/act out all kinds of stories. You should cum (Ed. note: LOL!) to my shows. After a Jill Scott show, most people get splendidly laid by whoever they came with #iftheydontFitUP #stopfrontinusuckdicktoo.”
She added: “They usually go on 2happier, more productive, focused, wealthy lives.”

They also usually go on 2happier, more productive, focused, wealthy lives.— ?Jill Scott? (@missjillscott) November 13, 2018
Scott returned to Twitter Wednesday morning to clear up a few more things about the video.
“I don’t know who tweeted that snippet but they didn’t capture the point,” she wrote. “There’s good intention in everything I do, particularly for couples. I’ve BEEN me baby. ALL of me. Check the discography. Peace.”
Good morning Love Village & welcome newbies. I don’t know who tweeted that snippet but they didn’t capture the point. There’s good intention in everything I do, particularly for couples. I’ve BEEN me baby. ALL of me. Check the discography. Peace.

Y’all don’t listen to Jill Scott and it’s showing, stop thinking neo-soul is all about chakras and broken hearts.
