Yung Miami’s ghetto song ‘Spend Dat’ pissing us off

India rips Yung Miami/YouTube

Spend Dat is ghetto.

Blog King, Mass Appeal

MIAMI — The adventures of Pookiesha & Ray Ray continue. Yung Miami (né Caresha Brownlee) is under fire 🔥 for her “Spend Dat” song that exhorts low-income black folks to rob, shoplift and swindle to make ends meet. She didn’t mention a damn thang about gettin’ a job. The ghetto track, deemed “the song of the summer,” somehow reached No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100. Yung Miami, 32, even received a standing ovation at the BET Awards as the audience sung “Spend Dat” during her saunter to the stage. A viral video also shows a bus 🚍 full of elementary school students singing the lyrics that go: “This for all my scammers and my get-money bitches. Where all my scamming-ass niggas? Spendin’ that money fast. Twenties, fifties, hundreds, cash. Boy, go in that Goyard bag. Boostin’ bitches, where y’all at? Stuffin’ that sh*t in y’all bag… I like a gangsta-ass nigga makin’ more than 10 figures. I’m a down-ass bitch, ridin’ with you in the splatt.” Telling you dawg, this some weird cult sh*t.

R&B songstress India Arie, 50, trashed the song for promoting a scam culture that leads to incarceration or worse. It’s her assertion music has the power to make us do all kinds of Satanic sh*t. “There are a lot of people saying, ‘It’s just a song.’ Well, if that’s what you think, enjoy. But, what I know is that music has power… I have used that power to help some people. And, I have traveled around this world twice and I see the impact of what we export out of the Black-American experience to the rest of the world,” India explained. 

Everything you listen to, see or eat is going to influence you. So make wise choices y’all.”

Sadly, some fans are too doltish to take heed of India’s advice.

Janeice Renee Downs and her mother, Janeice Wiley, were thrown in the slammer after they posted a TikTok video showing off the many Louis Vuitton bags 👜 they stole while participating in a “Spend Dat” social media challenge.

Yep, they incriminated themselves.

Trick Daddy, 51, unleashed a profanity-laced diatribe against India — calling her jealous of Yung Miami’s talent and beauty.

“You’re mad and you’re jealous,” said the bloated rapper.

“You look at that young, fine girl on that stage rockin’ these clubs each and every night… She droppin’ the hottest single out there. That’s why I don’t f*ck you old bitches… because the game done passed you by. I don’t want no old bitch with no gray hairs on her pussy. Get you some money, however you do it. Stop gettin’ on here talking bad about your fellow black woman that’s making money.”

What’s my take?

There’s no balance between good and evil in today’s rap music.

In the 80s and 90s, for every N.W.A and Cypress Hill there was a Run-D.M.C. and a Tribe Called Quest.

There was an equilibrium.

Today, every rap song is f*cked up.

What say you?

Is there as war brewing between black people and niggas?

Do females belong in hip-hop?

Watch Yung Miami’s appearance at the BET Awards, the “Spend Dat” video, Janeice’s arrest, India’s critique, Trick Daddy’s ignorant response and public reaction.

@leeanderson_tracy Music is powerful. 🎶 It can heal. It can trigger. It can give language to pain—or normalize destruction. Rap has ALWAYS been political. Born from Black communities telling our stories of racism, poverty, policing and survival. But let’s be honest… somewhere along the way, Black destruction became profitable. 👀 Protection comes in many forms. We protect our children’s bodies. We protect where they go. We protect who has access to them. But who’s protecting their minds? 🧠🎧 Pay attention to what they’re consuming on repeat. Because if music can heal… it can also harm. Who benefits from what our children are being taught to repeat❓🎤 — Tracy Lee-Anderson Repost @cultureunlocked1 #protectblackchildren #hiphopculture #blackparents #protecttheirminds #blackcommunity ♬ original sound – Tracy Lee-Anderson

  1. India Árie is fine first. Second that nursery rhyme Bullshit💩💩💩💩 “Spend Dat” song is trash 🗑

  2. This is the same Yung Miami who said she likes golden showers; that’s why I’m not surprised she makes songs about degeneracy, and being a high-priced harlot

  3. Where is Trick’s neck at? The nerve of him to appear in public looking like he look, scaring people.

  4. Ladies this is what delusion looks like. Trick out here looking like a melting chocolate Michelin man.

  5. That’s the hottest record in nigga world. That’s not a song for black excellence that why she doesn’t play the song for her children. Dumb ass Trick. I forget these rappers are criminals. Black people stop expecting these bottom feeders to produce something positive and uplifting.

  7. As old as Trick Daddy is, he is still a teenager in his mentality, this dude is still around talking about selling records and the garbage he is bragging about is why we say these tethers were put in our culture to destroy our culture. They brought all that degeneracy and scam mentality into our culture. This dude has a childlike mentality to still be around here big upping this evil music industry and obviously he has a limited brain capacity. Careful what you protect and what you defend folks you just may be telling on yourself like this swoll up genetic mutant is doing, he’s part of the trash that corrupted our culture him and his ilk. They started all that exploiting black women culture BS, they brought that trash here from where they come from. We don’t have a culture of scamming or backstabbing or cooning. We stand with the sista India Arie, we are the protectors of our core culture not the sub culture whites allowed to corrupt our culture. This trick daddy dude looks like he is a couple days past due for a bath, he needs to go wash his ass.

  14. Yung Miami’s next song is “why all my scamming ass brothers locked up “

  15. The music is sung in a catchy way for kids to consume. Like a nursery rhyme. Very disturbing actually.

  16. These artists, display who they are, how they think etc, in the lyrics they choose to sing and promote. Birds of a feather…etc etc. If you find this song appropriate it’s because it speaks to who you are. If you play it around your kids, its because you are TRAINING them to BE, think like, behave like…YOU, the lyrics and the one putting out the lyrics. That is not parenting. Children are precious, they will be adults one day. YOU as a parent are to raise children to be adults who are POLITE, respectful, have MORALS, boundaries, SELF RESPECT, responsible, accountable, LADIES and GENTLEMEN…and above all, GOD FEARING, which covers ALL of those. If you are not doing this, you are failing and need to make the necessary adjustments.

  18. I will never understand the thought process behind blaming others for the actions of an individual. If someone steals something its not because they listened to a song, If that was the case no one would sin, because we’ve all heard about the biblical consequences. People choose their own decisions, influence only affects idiots.

  20. This is what I hate about the new generation. Everytime an “old head” calls them out for using their platform to spread this type of content, they accuse them of “hating” or “you’re just mad because you’re old and irrelevant_____”. India Arie was hot during Foxy Brown, Da Brat, Missy, Lil Kim, the list goes on. This is nothing new. Our generation is more tied to the media than ever before. They absorb the same content as adults. Their thought processes are much different than the 90s or early 00s kids in that they absorb this content all around rather than only on a radio or a TV show. So yes, Yung Miami has a deeper impact on the youth than the “ratchet” artists during the older eras.

  21. I don’t think ppl have listened to the ENTIRE song. she’s not just glorifying boosting (stealing) & scamming, the song also glorifies crack selling & murder.

  23. The song is not the problem. The problem is ratchet parents who don’t raise their children properly. No child should be allowed to listen to this type of music, let alone memorize every single lyric.

  24. The govt wants black people crazy, cursing, twerking, shootin’ guns, robbing stores, fighting in public, dealing drugs, selling guns, listening to pure sh!t music 24/7, everything but following GOD.

  25. Nice beat but lyrics could have been about making money the legal way. This song will send you straight to the penitentiary. Yung Miami have children and I bet they go to the best schools and they damn sure won’t be boosting. 2026 and blk folks still sleeping. Wake the fuk up.

  26. Black folks always hating the lady is making a living rapping what black folks need to talk about they don’t what they need to focus on they don’t. Y’all mad of her success. Why. It’s entertainment. If y’alll gonna talk about her y’alll need to talk about every issue the world is facing then . Only cowards and wicked people pick and choose. I can’t stand black folks and I’m black correction I can’t stand black Americans which Iam not

  27. I understand both sides. The kids singing that song and many other songs with terrible lyrics is because of terrible parenting. Miami has no control over what people let their kids do. Do I partake in the behavior she’s rapping about? No, but it’s entertainment. She’s an entertainer , it’s her job. Also, India Arie I feel what she’s saying too, but she could have hit her up personally and had a conversation with her. She didn’t have to ruin her moment and “Big sister” her in front of the world. Some conversations are better received when delivered differently. It’s weird that Miami is where they wanna start the change, but okay. Keep it going, don’t stop at her. Let’s get these men to clean up their music too.

  28. Sometimes the dummies need inspiration to stay a dummy. They have an anthem to go to💯
