Fans speculated that she was talking about Lil Uzi Vert who she is rumored to be romantically connected to but have yet to confirm or deny it. But she didn’t mention a name.
“It’s so sad that females of brown complexion and darker really get criticized about their complexion. It’s sooo toxic,” one fan tweeted. “Normalize all shades of brown being BEAUTIFUL. Expose all the colorist. It’s even more toxic when its somebody you know.”
