The Alabama star acknowledged that the internet could be “triggering” at times, particularly when she initially began gaining popularity.
Flo Milli was completely authentic on Yung Miami’s recent episode of “Caresha Please,” which was broadcast on Thursday (Dec. 5) night. In her interview, the “Conceited” rapper discussed the “eye-opening” colorism she has faced and how social media constantly pits Hip Hop’s top female artists against each other, along with other subjects.
Approximately 17 minutes into the discussion, Yung Miami introduced the subject of Flo Milli being categorized as “underrated” due to her darker skin tone. The Alabama native remarked, “It’s a different experience for me to process because I believe I’ve come a long way, and considering my background, being where I am now is a significant achievement. It felt somewhat activating to go online and be mocked for that.
“Moreover, the entire issue of colorism was quite overwhelming since I didn’t fully understand [its meaning],” she added. “It was truly enlightening.” Flo Milli discussed the core of the problem, pointing to slavery as its unfortunate source: “They led us to believe our skin color was a problem, and that educated our people to see it as one.”
During Ice Spice’s rapid ascent in 2023 with “Munch (Feelin’ U)” — along with endorsements from powerhouses like Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift — some social media users questioned why Flo Milli wasn’t receiving similar attention, with many speculating it might relate to her skin tone. Nonetheless, the Fine Ho, Stay creator dispelled those “weary a**” stories almost instantly.
While she wasn’t exhibiting visible signs at that moment, Flo Milli did discuss her present relationship and, possibly without realizing it, revealed some clues about her pregnancy during the talk. “Everyone thinks they are FBI agents online, but he’s not among my [social media] contacts, so you all won’t locate him like that,” the rapper stated. When inquired whether her boyfriend is part of the music industry, she reluctantly confessed, “I suppose.” “Certainly, he’s a creator.”
When asked about the number of children she envisions for the future, Flo Milli stated, “Two at the most.” The rapper of “Never Lose Me” also disclosed that she hopes her first child will be a boy, partly influenced by her own childhood experiences. “I somewhat experienced what it was like to have girls alongside my sister while growing up.” “My mama had a difficult time,” she explained.
