Dr. Umar Johnson appeared as a guest on Lil Yachty’s A Safe Place Podcast where they chopped it up about the trend of Black women getting BBL surgery.
Dr. Umar says hip-hop is responsible as it objectifies women who look a certain way.
“I’m not holding you accountable for what everybody does but, there’s few mediums of media that have sexually objectified the Black woman more than hip-hop. So, If I’m a little Black girl and every music video I turn on she’s half dressed with big breasts and a big a-s and I want a Black man to want me and like me and I probably ain’t got no daddy cause the White man locked him up or the police killed him off. What am I gonna do to be attractive?” said Umar.
He added: “I’m gonna go and get a BBL. What I’m saying is Black men, not just hip-hop I wanna clarify, Black men period. Professional Black men, athletes, every day brothers. All of us. I don’t wanna make the hip-hop community more responsible, but y’all definitely leading the pack in terms of the sexual objectification of the Black woman.”
Lil Yachty argued that there are many reasons women get BBLs, including to impress their friends or to improve their self-esteem. Dr. Umar likes natural bodies.
