When are folks going to stop asking Janelle Monáe about wearing suits?

One Twitter user didn’t get the memo and questioned the songstress about her fashion choices directly.

“Girl, stop being so soulful and be sexy,” the user tweeted. “Tired of those dumbass suits…you fine but u too damn soulful man.”

The user, @mellow_saa, raised a point fans and critics alike have been asking for a long time. Monáe has addressed the question almost ad nauseam. Short answer? It’s her thing.

But late Sunday night, Monáe wasn’t about canned responses. So she told the Twitter troll to sit down. Literally:

Why can’t all fan criticism go this well?

Point Monáe.
