Comedian and actress Amanda Seales ruffled a few feathers Monday morning (Oct. 9)when she took to Twitter to discuss what she defines as “losing.”
“If you’re buying Jordans and Nike Suits but you don’t have a PASSPORT, YOU’RE LOSING,” she tweeted.
If you're buying Jordans and Nike Suits but you don't have a PASSPORT, YOU'RE LOSING.

If you're buying Jordans and Nike Suits but you're sleeping on an air mattress, YOU'RE LOSING.

Seales’ comments seamed to merit an amen from a few, but the rest of Twitter felt as though the Insecure actress was telling people how to spend their money.
She’s saying if ppl have no interest in travel, they’re losing. It’s lowkey classist but meh ??♀️ I get the point.

I worked at a study abroad program for poor youth yrs. MANY had desire, but thought it was a frivolous expense compared to, say, eating.

I say this with the love of Christ, some thoughts should just stay in your head.

Seales, already a clap-back queen, noted the angry response to her tweets wouldn’t be the case if what she said was being said by a man, noting Jay-Z in particular.
It's funny how when Jay-Z said all of this ya'll kneeled at the alter but when I say it it's (insert hurt feelings & fuckshit here) LOL

After going back and forth with a few folks, Seales reiterated what she tried to get across the first go round.
Balance yall. That's the point. Frivolity has its place but not in place of practicality. Lesson I hv learned. Feel free 2 take it or pass✊?

Again, my overall point was that folks b flossin bullshit but ignoring real shit and there are no wins in that game.

What do you guys think? Was Ms. Seales speaking a harsh truth? If you’re buying expensive shoes and living on a air mattress are your priorities backwards? Or should Amanda Seasles not count anyone’s coins or police what people do with their coins?
