Vince Staples recently took to Ziwe’s show, where he playfully revealed his fondness for the reality television series “Sister Wives.” The rapper, known for his sharp wit and cultural insights, surprised viewers when he initially referred to it as “Mormon Wives,” leading to a humorous exchange about the show and its characters.
During the interview, Staples distinguished his affinity for the series by expressing an interest in its younger cast members, noting, “I like the football-playing son because you can tell he’s ashamed of his life.” This lighthearted commentary prompted Ziwe to clarify the show’s title and share a jest about the mix-up, playfully suggesting that it could be seen as “racist.”
Staples went on to candidly share that he found the children on the show to be more intriguing, citing their visible “pain and shame.” He further critiqued Kody Brown, the show’s patriarch, commenting on his perceived struggles with control over his family dynamics and humorously remarking on his appearance, saying, “He’s losing his hair, and his wives are like, ‘Oh, you look wonderful.’ And then he’s like, ‘You’re f**king lying to me.’”
This appearance not only showcased Staples’ comedic prowess but also underscored his increasing presence as a media personality, aligning with the successful launch of the second season of his Netflix show, “The Vince Staples Show.” In its latest season, which has received positive reviews despite critiques about its brevity, the series follows Vince as he navigates personal challenges while searching for inner peace.
The blend of humor and poignant social commentary in his interview exemplifies Vince Staples’ unique approach to entertainment, resonating with audiences and contributing to his growing popularity in the media landscape.
