On June 3, the VIXX member released his new album “ROSES,” which includes a song titled “RED VELVET.” Many expressed discomfort at the lyrics such as “I take a bite out of a red velvet” as other lyrics such as “Russian Roulette” and “Dumb Dumb” seem to reference the group Red Velvet’s song titles. The lyrics also include parts that seem to use wordplay with names of the group’s members.
In response, Ravi released the following statement on June 4:
( Apology )
( Lyrics )
The song in question: Red Velvet (feat. Jamie). Making references to other artists is not new in rap but I don't know why he thought there wouldn't be push back in this case because the lyrics are obviously sexual
