In response, Miami used Lizzo’s weight loss as an example to illustrate the double standards women face.

“If you natural, they hate you. If you got a BBL, they hate you…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?”, Miami said.

During Lizzo’s Twitch livestream, Yung Miami clarified that her comments were meant to highlight the unfair scrutiny Lizzo faced before and after her weight loss.

She pointed out how Lizzo often received contradictory criticism and no matter what she did to her body, she couldn’t “make [everybody] happy”

“Everybody [says] you look good, but then you have the little 5% that’s just like, ‘She looked better when she was fat”, Miami added.

Despite her efforts, Miami felt insecure about her performance, revealing that she needed 15 takes. Initially, she wanted her scenes removed from the episode until 50 Cent stepped in.

"I said, 'Fifty, I don't like this, it was horrible. Like, please don't put me out there like that. I don't wanna face no more backlash'", she recalled.

50 Cent reassured her that the experience was a stepping stone in her career. He also helped her understand how she had to "start from somewhere" if she wanted to receive more opportunities in the future.
