City Girls rapper Yung Miami made an appearance on the latest episode of the Starz crime drama, “BMF.” The entertainer portrays a character named Deanna Washington, a woman married to an affiliate of Big Meech (Demetrius Flenory Jr.).
During her scene, Miami really showed off her acting chops when she asked, “Meech where’s my husband?” After he tells her there was a shooting outside the club and hands her his necklace, she begins to cry and eventually slaps Meech out of anger.
She then yells, “I want whoever did this to pay. Get the f**k outta here!” While it was made to be a serious moment, fans who watched the episode found it to be more hilarious. One rude commenter said, “Yung Miami can’t even talk how tf y’all expect her to act?” Another added, “Nah this BMF episode was good but they could’ve switched Yung Miami with somebody else. She can’t act for shi*t.” A third Twitter user said, “Yung Miami can’t act to save her life stick to rap.”
Despite the negative feedback, many people came to her defense including “Power” actor and fellow rapper Method Man. While being stopped by TMZ this week, he was asked if he had any advice for Yung Miami amid all the criticism.
He told reporter Seleah Monae that although he didn’t catch the episode with her in it, he says he loves Yung Miami and shouted out “f*ck people” specifically the ones who are “mean.” With a message directly to the “Act Up” artist, he emphasized that all the hate is just “white noise” while encouraging her to push forward.
I hope Yung Miami stick to making music bruh this really the worst acting I ever seen in my life😭😭😭 #BMF pic.twitter.com/WOFf81n420
