City Girls rapper Yung Miami has been getting dragged for her speech errors. And she just gave the haters more ammo. More inside...
Yung Miami is a true Florida chick. She def has a strong accent to those who aren't from her hood. But some say it's more than an accent, and are constantly trying to drag the 20-something mom of 1 for "glorifying being uneducated".
It first started when she was promoting the City Girls' Twerk competition and said "flewed out" instead of "flown out." She was trying to tell the ladies she would fly them out to appear in their "Twerk" video, but folks were more concerned with her grammar. Now, "flewed out" has been added to internet vernacular. The memes were endless.
Well, folks are now coming for her over the way she pronounced, well, misprounced, a city in Michigan. She made a video to promote an appearance in Ypsilanti, MI and said the name of the city entirely wrong.
Check it:
Listen to the correct way to say Ysplanti at the end of the post.
In her defense, she's not from Michigan, so she may not have known. Outside of Michigan folks, who WOULD know exactly how to pronounce that name off top? She could have asked the promoters the correct way to say it before making the video though.
Since folks have been coming for her over the last month, she posted this subliminal clapback:
She said what she said.
Not only have people been at her neck over the way she talks, they have also been clowning her over what she said during an interview with Power 105's "The Breakfast Club." The radio personalities were asking when she and her son's father met.
"I been knowing him since 2000," she explained. "He was my first. I had sex when I was 13. He 26, I'm 24. He was in the 3rd...I was in the 3rd, he was in the 5th."
Check it (at the 27:40 mark):
People assumed she meant she was 13 in the 3rd grade. She came back to explain they first MET when they were in the 3rd and 5th grade, and they had sex when she was 13 and he was 15.

Below are a few tweets of folks dragging Yung Miami:
