"Now this is drama”: Fans react as Lizzo confronts Yung Miami about her weight comments on Shannon Sharpe's podcast

Lizzo confronts Yung Miami for her eyebrow-raising comments on her weight in her Club Shay Shay episode, leading fans to react to the love moment as "this is drama.”

Recently, part of the City Girl duo, Yung Miami, came under fire for her problematic comments on singer Lizzo's weight in an episode of Shannon Sharpe's podcast Club Shay Shay. The rapper expressed her take on society's pressures on women having to maintain their bodies and how, in every way, they face a lose-lose situation. She said,

"If you natural, they hate you. If you got a BBL, they hate you. What do you want? I'ma just use Lizzo, for example. Everybody was like, 'Oh my God, she's so fat.' She looks so good now. Now it's like, 'Oh my God, ew. Oh my God, she needs to stop.' Like, pick a side. What do you want?"

Catching wind of this, the Truth Hurts singer decided to hit the situation head-on and not beat around the bush. During a live stream with her fans, she decided to call the Act Up rapper and ask her directly what she meant by the usage of the word "EW."

"What is the ‘eww?’ I have to know. Actually, I thought you were saying I got too little."

To which Caresha (Yung Miami) clarified,

"No, no, no. So what I’m saying is, like, people always have something to say… It’s ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t’—that’s kinda what I was tryna say. Sometimes I see some people saying, like... 'She looked better when she was fat.' [...] But you're doing it for yourself, not for these people."

In the original podcast episode, she had also said,

"When you have a natural body, you look like a little boy you got no sex appeal. When you do get a BBL it’s like oh my god your body fake. It’s like if you natural they hate you, if you get a BBL they hate you."

Internet's reaction to Lizzo's confrontation

After this interaction, fans seemed to have brought out the popcorn as they reacted to this interaction in varying comments.

"Now this is drama. Calling the person right up? This is what needs to happen more often," one user said.

while another commented: "This was a very mature convo. I like how Lizzie called her directly instead of just posting n throwing shade indirectly"

One fan also expressed their interest in a collab: "omg the way these girlies need to drop the drama and drop a collab instead, imagine the serve that would be bestie"

In 2024, Lizzo shared her fitness journey on social media, announcing that she had shed 16% of her body fat.
