Can a meme-turned-internet sensation really change the way we think about identity and cultural appropriation? Get ready for a deep dive into the world of Bad Baby, the controversial figure who skyrocketed to fame with the infamous "meet me outside" moment on Dr. Phil. In this episode of the Double A Club, we dissect the uproar surrounding her latest music video "Misunderstood" and the accusations of blackfishing that have set social media ablaze. From her drastic transformation to the heated reactions online, we're breaking down what this all means for pop culture and our digital identities.

As we navigate through these murky waters, we expand the conversation to broader societal trends, questioning how digital fame affects personal identity and cultural narratives. Bad Baby's defense of her new look as a result of a tinted moisturizing foundation sparks even more debate. We share our unfiltered opinions on the cultural implications of such transformations and what it says about our generation's obsession with identity. Whether you're familiar with Bad Baby or just curious about the latest social media controversies, this episode promises an engaging and thought-provoking discussion on the complicated world of internet fame and cultural appropriation.

You are listening to the Double A Club and this is your host, ny Boom, and my co-host, big Daz. We'll be talking about trending topics in healthcare and basically, just as a disclaimer just to let the listeners know that this is just basically on our opinions and speculations and I hope you guys enjoy the show. Let's start off and kick off with our first topic.

Speaker 2:

I don't know if you know this person. She's a. I guess she's an internet influencer or whatever. She's also a rapper. Her name is Bad Baby. Nope, I don't know her either, but I saw this arc when I had to look it up. So this girl I think she was, um, she's famous. She got famous from being on the dr Phil show and I, I guess they did a meme on her. Huh, she got famous from being on Dr Phil yeah, the Dr Phil show, and they did a meme of her from the Dr Phil show. And I think the meme was she was, I believe she was arguing with a studio audience and she said come meet me outside. But the way she said it, she pronounced it meet me outside, or something like that, and it just became a meme war. I remember that. So meet me outside. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that one, that's her. That's bad bunny Baby. I mean Bad Baby, fucking idiot. Yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 2:

She has a new video it's called Misunderstood, which is bringing a lot of controversy because people are saying that she is blackfishing in the video. Blackfishing, she also has Blackfishing, yes, and she also has been posting pics on her Instagram and she looks of a darker color. What's blackfishing. Blackfishing is, I guess, a new way of blackfacing, but she's doing her whole body. Oh, okay, that is interesting, yeah, and if you see this girl, I mean she's plain Jane white girl, plain Jane white girl with black hair. You know what I'm saying. And you see her in this new video and you see her in some of our IG pics you can tell that she's been hitting that tenon booth a little bit too hard. Oh, that's funny. Like she looks like a dark-skinned Ariana Grande. Oh, wow, she's adorable too. No, she's not bad-looking, she's kind of cute. Yeah, yeah, yeah, she looks like Ariana Grande. Yeah, yeah, I mean, she looks similar to Ariana Grande in this video.

Speaker 2:

In the pictures, that's not her look, that's not how she looks. You know what I'm saying. But in the pictures and in the videos she has that look All right video. She has that, that look all right. And and you know, and as while I was reading the article, I had to look at some of these um pictures, I even had to look at the video and I was like yo bro, what the fuck is wrong with this chick? Like I saw her before, how she looked before and I see how she looks in this and I'm like what the hell is she doing? Is she taking tips from robbie robert downey jr's character from tropic thunder, um turk lazarus? Like what the hell is going on here? Like how do you get, how do you get white as hell and then dark as fuck? Yeah, I have no idea, but that's, that's our generation.

Speaker 2:

Now, you know, people identify as cars and objects and I can't I just really can't with this. Like I'm so against this identifying generation. I hate this. Yeah, it's going to bite them in the ass. It's like we're welcoming stupidity. That's what it is to me. I'm sorry, you are what the fuck you were born. That's it. You want to be something else? That's fine. You can act upon it, but don't identify yourself as it. I don't know, I don't know. I'm not getting into it, but anyway. So she obviously got onto social media to defend herself and she stated that the reason of her darker skin color was this moisturizing foundation that she uses and it has tint in it. So that's why her skin color has gotten dark. It has tint in it. Why don't you put the skin on your skin? I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, it's kind of like a self-tanner. Okay, that's what it basically is, but it's a very fucking. But it's a very good self-tanner. If you look at her, it's a top-of-the-line self-tanner. I gotta see it. Yeah, you gotta see itery. I got to see it. I got to see it. Yeah, you got to see it. Bro, bad baby, bad baby, crazy, crazy. So all right, so let's get into it.

Speaker 2:

The most polarized holidays and also the most, I like to say, abused financially and I'm going to talk about it it's going to be Valentine's Day and Christmas. I believe that these two holidays have changed because now it's so abused financially, there's always gifts and there's always something like it's forced to buy. You know what I'm saying? Like they're even doing sales for these holidays, specific, huge sales, yeah, to manipulate you and make the consumer buy. And really, you know now I think people have lost the whole thing of what those two holidays really mean. Yeah, like, if you go into Valentine's Day now, it's like every girl expects flowers, every girl expects the guy to take them out, every girl expects to get something, to get something in return, but never, never, well, I don't want to say never, but hardly ever. Do you see the woman do that in return for the man. It's a two-way street. You know what I'm saying? Valentine's Day is an appreciation of love from both sides. Mm-hmm, you know? Yeah, I totally don't. I mean, mean, I think that women take full advantage of men. So, yeah, I totally agree with you. This is all. We are living in an era of whole inflation and we just can't. The men just are losing. Yeah, we got too many dudes that patronize these behaviors. And you know, now we've been doing it for so long that now it's getting out of hand and now it's like it's biting us in the butt. And now we're, now we're trying to say, hey, we're not going to do this, or we're not doing it, or no, or whatever. You know what I'm saying. And it's, it's hurtful.

Speaker 2:

Like, if you look at the newer generation, like like these young kids, like I was talking to a girl from my job, she's, she's young, she's like 21, 22 and she's yo, I don't want to have kids, I don't want no boyfriend, I don't want no man, I don't want love, I don't want none of that stuff. I want to be celibate. I'm thinking to myself what the fuck am I talking to? Like asexual, she doesn't want nothing. She doesn't want to deal with the drama. Even young guys don't even want to date. They just want to stay home. Yeah, I don't blame them, I really don't.

Speaker 2:

That's how bad it is nowadays. The women, yo, especially with like the TikTok and the Tinders and all that shit, all these dating sites, like literally, this is how people they're treating people. They're treating people as a swipe left or a swipe right, whatever it is. And if you fuck up, you go to the left side, then, like, that's how easy it is nowadays. Nowadays, it's like women have the option to dismiss the nigga. I don't give a fuck, fuck him. I don't care what he put in emotionally, what he put in a fuck, I don't care what he put in emotionally, what he put in this relationship. I don't give a fuck, I'm out. And that's what it is, because there is no building nowadays. Nowadays, it's built for yourself, not with someone.
