Lamar Jackson made heads turn recently by revealing that he prefers “girl perfume” to “smell like a female, sometimes.” The Ravens QB’s admission was enough of a reason for netizens, especially football fans, to troll him, but Jackson isn’t shying away from giving a jab or two in return.

This all started from a GQ interview where Jackson revealed the 10 essential items that he can’t live without. While explaining the rationale behind his own cologne brand being unisex, he made the polarizing admission about preferring women’s perfume. And it promptly led to a netizen sarcastically asking Lamar on “X” what perfume he wears.
“What perfume do you wear King,” the netizen asked Lamar in a bid to taunt him. The Ravens superstar, however, saw this coming a mile away, as he brutally responded by saying he wears the same perfume that the netizen’s girlfriend wears. “Whichever 1 Your Girl Wears,” clapped back Lamar.
He followed that up by remarking that the perfume he wears would be so good that his hypothetical girlfriend would end up asking, “why you smelling good?”
Whichever 1 your girl wears then she’ll question why you smelling good

As soon as Lamar commented, his fans went into overdrive — some raving about his brutal rebuttal, while others were just happy to see their favorite player finally responding to the trolls.

Some netizens, however, were left confused about Lamar’s response, leading to hilarious quips.

The QB, in the GQ video, revealed that he likes “saucy” scents to smell like a female, but only sometimes. He believes that women prefer these perfumes on men rather than the ones men usually wear, hence the confident comment. But who’s to say that this wasn’t a marketing stunt to promote his own brand?
