R&B singer J. Holiday has an issue with Black female singers using their own personal life stories in their music...especially if it's about being dogged out by Black men. 

In a now-deleted Instagram post, he had words for Beyonce, SZA and Cardi B: "Stop using your pain to sell records." 

"Beyoncé, Cardi B, SZA (all y’all motherfuckers) stop using that fucking pain to make it OK to say some bullshit on your record, and get nominated for a Grammy for going through some bullshit. Because so have I as a black motherfucking man."

He added, "No disrespect, I was raised by a woman, I have two older sisters, man, I have absolute, all respect for Black women. But with that being said, understand this, man: Black men, African-American men, men from the hood, we go through everything to make sure that who we care about are taken care of.” 

Sir...How you gonna cuss these women out and say "no disrespect"? 

Take a listen for yourself:

Listen. Yes, these women have DEFINITELY made songs about heartbreak, infidelity and pain that has been caused by Black men. And we can see how that can get some people caught up in their feelings because we know that not all men are dogs. 

But 1) these women are artists who are speaking about their experiences, which is their right. Hell, all Black music has some pain in it. 

And 2) Not every last song they have ever made has been about dogging a Black man. There is more going on in their lives and talent than just that. 

REAL TALK: Didn't Jay-Z just write an entire album talking about his pain and quest to be a better Black man, husband and father?

That, and most Black male artists such as Drake, Childish Gambino and Kendrick Lamar, to name a few, have talked about their relationships in their music. Remember Chris Brown's "Those Hoes Ain't Loyal"?  Guess J. forgot about that!

Twitter had a field day with this one:

Black Twitter is so savage!

FAM: Do you think J. Holiday has a point? Are Black female singers dogging out Black men to sell records? Weigh in...
