City Girls rapper Yung Miami found herself in hot water after making a comment that rubbed some the wrong way.
via Hot 97:
During a recent interview, The City Girl says she aspires to become the next ‘Black Oprah.’ The snippet of the interview went viral as social media slammed Miami because well…Oprah herself, is in fact Black.
Miami says, “I want to take it to the next level,” she shared referring to the success of her podcast, Caresha Please. “I’m dreaming big. I want to go to the highest of the highest. I want to be the Black Oprah.”
“People just loving to hear me talk, you know? Whenever I talk or whenever I go on [Instagram] Live, it go viral,” she said, while explaining how Caresha Please came together.
“One day I was talking with Diddy and he was like, ‘Yeah, [you] should do a podcast. It would be good for you,’ and that’s how it came out. It was just a conversation of me just always going viral off the way I talk and the engagement that I used to get off of Instagram Live.”
Social media had a field day with Miami’s comments. Take a look at some reactions below.
I'm hoping she misspoke when she said she wants to be the 'Black Oprah,' and while Oprah is one of a kind when it comes to her interviewing style, I have to admit from the few times I've watched Caresha Please, the rapper has shown that she not only has the gift of gab, but with her interviewing style she's able to tap into a whole new market that Oprah never could.
