Yung Miami's "Eww" Heard 'Round the Internet: What She Said About Lizzo on "Club Shay Shay"
So here's the backstory. Yung Miami was chatting with Shannon Sharpe on his super popular podcast "Club Shay Shay" . During the convo they got into talking about cosmetic surgery and body image. Yung Miami made a point about how women just cannot seem to win no matter what they do with their bodies. And to illustrate her point she brought up Lizzo.
Yung Miami said something along the lines of "If you natural they hate you if you got a BBL they hate you… What do you want?". Then she used Lizzo as an example mentioning how people used to call Lizzo "fat" but now that Lizzo has lost weight some folks are saying "Oh My God eww". It was that "eww" that raised some eyebrows and made it sound like Yung Miami was throwing a little shade.

They highlighted the ridiculous double standards women face constantly being told they are too fat too skinny too fake too natural. Yung Miami even joked about the surgery debate "You don’t get surgery and it’s like ‘Oh my God you got a little boy’s body. Oh my God she’s gained weight [or] she’s too skinny.’ Then you do get a BBL [and they’re like] ‘We don’t like BBLs. We like natural bodies. Why would you get surgery?’". It's a never-ending cycle of criticism and judgment.
