Yung Miami Responds To Negative Reaction To New Song Snippet

Yung Miami has responded to less-than-stellar reactions to her new single, wondering why it seems as though fans hold her to a different standard than others.

The City Girl took to Instagram Live on Saturday (July 27) to preview a new track, and some listeners weren’t particularly thrilled with the club-ready, dance-inspired song.

The Neighborhood Talk posted the snippet to Instagram, and Miami hopped in the comment section to defend herself and her forthcoming single.

One user wrote: “Boring same thing again and again.” Another pleaded for JT, Miami’s City Girls partner, to have her own spotlight in support of her new project, City Cinderella.

The user commented: “Can JT please have a moment by herself ??? Damn ! Her album just dropped.”

Yung Miami responded to these, and other complaints, with a simple question: “With me is where y’all draw the line??? LOL ok.”

This isn’t the first time Yung Miami has been dragged for her musical aspirations.

Last month, she cited Rihanna as her influence as she continues to build her brand — however, not everyone thought that was a feasible goal.

The Florida rapper reshared a social-media post by The Shade Room about the “Umbrella” singer’s latest business endeavor.

Atop the headline that reads “#TSR Beauty: She’s Expanding! Rihanna Announces The Launch Of Her New Haircare Line,” the 30-year-old wrote: “WHO I ASPIRE TO BE!!!! THAT BAG & STATUS DIFFERENT.”

Soon after Hollywood Unlocked posted a screenshot of the IG Story, fans flooded the comments sections to humble her.

“Please keep Rihanna name out of your mouth!” one person wrote. “because you got miles/years to go before you’d be anything like our Riri!!”

Likewise, another added: “Girl u reaching too high w all that ratchet shit u be doing. Riri would never.”

Contrarily, some came to the “Rap Freaks” hitmaker’s defense with comments such as “Yung Miami she can do anything she sets her attentions on!!” and “How can yall have anything negative to say about this?! Shes inspired!”

The goals for Miami arrived at an interesting time in her career, as back in May she seemingly confirmed that City Girls are no longer a unit.

The relationship between her and JT has been through several ups and down over the past few months, and their alliance might have come to a permanent end.

During an interview with Complex in late May, she addressed the poor commercial reception of the duo’s last album and how they both subsequently drifted apart.

“I think when the City Girls album dropped and it didn’t do too well and we was just like trying to do our press run. You know, the whole rollout of the album was just so bad because we were just in two different spaces,” she said.

“We’re older now and she was doing her own thing on the West Coast, I’m in Miami doing my own thing. And I felt like naturally, when she’s doing her own thing, it just works for her. And when I’m doing my own thing, it works for me.”
