This is about Branding she has a line of sex toys coming this is just business not personal and for Facebook to band her video it was tame compared to others. If a man would have done this song nobody would care the whole rap community had something to say.
Yung Miami just went there. In her latest single, “RAP FREAKS,” the Florida rapper and one-half of the hit-making duo The City Girls name-dropped fourteen celebs in less than two minutes. While capable of stirring uploads of drama, Miami says the tongue-in-cheek song is simply playful and not to be taken too seriously.
“The song is showing love to all the rappers right now, it’s nothing personal,” she tells Billboard. “I [named] a bunch of the guys who are on top, that’s hot, that’s poppin’. Nothing is personal, nothing is literal, I’m just having fun.”
Miami, born Caresha Romeka Brownlee, says she was inspired to write “RAP FREAKS” by a legacy of rappers such as Trina, Lil Kim, Biggie Smalls, and Nicki Minaj releasing racy, name-dropping tracks. “I just felt like it was going to be a moment in hip-hop, so it was something that I went into the studio wanting to do,” she says.
If the track wasn’t enough to get people talking, the emcee also released a jaw-dropping BDSM-inspired music video, laden with racy scenes involving whips, cages, lace, and leather just in time for Halloween. The sensual red-and-black-themed visual flashes framed photos of some of the song’s male subjects, including Diddy, Lil Baby, DaBaby, 50 Cent, and Future, among others.
While he wasn’t named in “RAP FREAKS,” Miami took a moment to gush over rapper Jeezy during her interview with Billboard. Growing up, Miami says her stepfather would bump Jeezy’s songs while driving her to and from school, leading to Jeezy becoming one of her favorite rappers of all time. Miami isn’t asking for a song with Jeezy, but she does have another request. “I would love for him to perform at one of my birthday bashes,” she says. “If you’re reading this interview, that would be a good surprise for me.”
When it came to the lyrics detailing sexual propositions to both Lil Baby and DaBaby (which the former’s baby mother wasn’t too thrilled about), drunk sex with Future, and dates with Diddy, Miami clarified with a flat-out “no,” that she wouldn’t actually sleep with any of the artists named.
And as if the new track isn’t buzzworthy enough, Miami has more in store via her upcoming website, CareshaPlease.com. The website is named after her legal first name, something fans insisted on calling Miami, much to her dismay. “They just don’t respect me. They like calling me Caresha, they say it feels better and that they feel like they know me,” she says. “If I’m out with my family and hear someone call me Yung Miami, I know it’s a fan. When you’ve got the whole world calling you Caresha it’s kind of weird because it’s hard to separate the two.”
Now, the rapper is leaning into “Caresha,” using the website as a platform for exclusive merch, consignment items, photos, and a line of limited edition sex toys in partnership with Kandi Burruss’s intimate brand, Bedroom Kandi. CareshaPlease will launch at 3 p.m. ET on Friday (Oct. 29).
