Nasty C Called Out For ‘Bodyshaming’ Thickleeyonce On His Album
In his hit song Deep Pockets, he makes reference to his clothing saying it is rounded like the influencer Thickleeyonce.

Many saw it as an innocent shout out to her, however some were offended by it and called him out for body shaming her.

“My shirt like Thickleeyonce, it’s all rounded,” his lyrics said.

An ‘offended’ tweep wrote, “Why do I feel it’s more like body shaming than a S/O? Or because it’s a song of a well known rapper it’s all cool? Enlighten me.”

In Nasty C’s defense, Thickleeyonce said the rapper contacted her months before writing the verses and she saw no problem with it. In fact she said she was excited about it.

“He literally just means that his pockets are as chubby as me. Also, he reached out to me before he put it on the song, he asked if I didn’t mind & I told him I was hella cool with it, I’m not offended by calling me fat, I’m offended by people shaming me for being fat.

“Nasty C dm’d me months back about this, I was hella excited! Lol y’all must not bore me,” she responded.
