Professor Green causes controversy by calling bulimia ‘an intelligent eating disorder’

The rapper made the comments on Twitter

Professor Green has caused online controversy by claiming that bulimia is “an intelligent eating disorder” on Twitter.

In a tweet posted on July 28, the Hackney rapper said: “bulimia is quite an intelligent eating disorder… it’d be easier just to chew food and spit it out but still, you get to eat whatever you want and stay skinny. #winning”

He then added: “queue all the people who start telling me how insensitive i am and how bulimia jokes aren’t funny yadda yadda yadda… i’m just trying to find a way to be in New York and not become a fat b*stard.” He also quoted a line from Nas‘ ‘Queens Get The Money’, writing: “‘i’m over they heads like a bulimic on a sea-saw’.”

The comments made by the hip-hop star – real name Stephen Manderson – resulted in a number of his Twitter followers branding him ‘sick’ and ‘disgusting’, reports Metro, while clinical nurse Dan Round told The Sun: “There is a lot of stigma and misunderstanding surrounding eating disorders. They are not just about food and wanting to be thin”.
