Yung Miami Keeps It Polite While Confronting Lore’l Over Past Shade

The question was supposed to be about why women seem to catch extra heat over their music. Yung Miami heard something else entirely. During a stop at The Morning Hustle, Lore’l asked the rapper why people had been coming at her “as a female” over her music. Miami interrupted before she could get much further.

“Why was you coming at me? As a female?” she asked.

The room did not explode, but the temperature definitely changed. Lore’l explained that she had been looking forward to the interview and had plenty of positive questions prepared, while also defending her right to critique Miami’s music. Miami was not arguing with criticism itself. Her issue was that she believed Lore’l’s previous comments went well beyond reviewing a song.

Miami said she had heard the earlier discussion and came close to calling into the station at the time. Rather than doing that, she apparently saved the conversation for when the two were sitting across from each other.

The comments bothering Miami stemmed from her July departure from BossMan Dlow’s Motion Party Tour. After she pulled out of the trek, Lore’l criticized the decision on-air and suggested Miami thought she was “above the program.” She also joked about the City Girls hit “Act Up” not paying as much anymore as others in the studio laughed.

Miami had publicly given a different explanation for leaving. In her announcement, she said she needed to finish her debut album and was facing deadlines, telling fans she had to “lock in” to get the project done. BossMan Dlow subsequently postponed the tour after what his team described as Miami’s “last-minute departure.” Her statement made it clear she was stepping away to work on the album rather than abandoning touring altogether.

Her press run comes as she prepares to release Watch Dis, her first full-length solo album, on Oct. 23. The project follows “Spend Dat,” “F You” and “2008,” with Miami using much of this rollout to address the criticism that has followed her solo career. Judging by her visit to The Morning Hustle, she isn't limiting those conversations to the people criticizing her from a distance.
