Cristina Mackey is clapping back at critics of her romance with rapper Rick Ross. As The Shade Room previously reported, Mackey revealed their relationship earlier this week by posting cozied-up photos of her and boo on Instagram.
On Wednesday, December 13, Mackey took to her Instagram feed to share a video with fans. In the clip, Mackey addressed the recent comments left under her photos.
“I can tell by a lot of the comments on my page that y’all have never had a man keep you in your power,” Mackey told viewers. “Y’all have never had a man give you reassurance you didn’t even know you needed. Y’all don’t got too much consistency going on.”
Mackey explained that her critics “don’t like to see nobody winning” and “don’t like to see nobody happy.”
“It’s something about a man that can keep you in your power, that’ll make you want to ride until the wheels fall off,” Mackey continued, seemingly referring to Ross. “What — it’s no way I care about what you think… couldn’t be true.”
She then explained that “there’s something about a man who corrects you when you’re wrong” that “makes you want to ride” for them.
