Rubi Rose took a harsh stance on BBLs in a viral post on social media from Tuesday night. “Please stop getting a— shots,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). As the post circulated online, she elaborated on Instagram Live. “Get up b—h, go to the gym, f—k that BBL," she said. “Body tight but this p—y tighter.”
The stance resulted in plenty of mixed feelings in the replies to her post. "Literally why do u give a f*ck weird ass b*tch," one user wrote back. Another shot back: "Girl you are a known hoe, who leave nothing to the imagination, let people do what they want."
Rose is far from the first celebrity to speak on BBLs in recent months. For one, GloRilla denied getting any work done amid rumors to the contrary. ”I’ve been seeing everybody with all the BBL allegations and I wanna come on here and be honest,” Glo said, as caught by Billboard. “So, I didn’t get a BBL, but I did get some ‘discipline shots.’ So, I got ’em inserted right here and right here [pointing to her temples].”
On top of that, SZA recently admitted that she regrets getting a BBL during an interview with British Vogue. “I’m so mad I did that sh*t," she told the outlet.
A BBL is a cosmetic surgery procedure that moves fat from one area of the body to the butt in order to improve size and shape. Further explaining why she regrets the procedure, SZA continued: “I gained all this weight from being immobile while recovering and trying to preserve the fat. It was just so stupid. But who gives a f*ck? You got a BBL, you realise you didn’t need the sh*t. It doesn’t matter. I’ll do a whole bunch more sh*t just like it if I want to before I’m f*cking dead because this body is temporary. It just wasn’t super necessary – I have other sh*t that I need to work on about myself… I need to get my f*cking mental health together… Not to say you can’t do those things simultaneously, just, for me, I realise wherever you go, there you’ll be. But I love my butt. Don’t get me wrong. My booty look nice. And I’m grateful that it looks pretty much… I don’t know, sometimes natural, but I don’t even care. It’s something that I wanted. I’m enjoying it. I love shaking it.”
Additionally, Latto said that she felt pressured to get a BBL when she was 21 years old, last year. Blac Chyna, Cardi B, and more celebrities have all weighed in on the topic as well.
Dua Lipa has described Britney Spears as "an icon".
The Houdini singer also pointed out her personal favorite track from the pop legend.
Dua, 30, said that Britney’s 2003 single Toxic is the song she loves most, sharing that she often plays it every night to relax while spending time on holiday with her extended family.
"You're very silly and giggly and fun and I need to hear 'Toxic' at the end of every single night when I'm feeling like that," she told Vogue Magazine. "It's one of my favourite songs."
The Levitating artist took it even further, calling Toxic "one of the greatest" and saying it has a timeless quality.
"I think it's one of the greatest pop songs ever made," Dua gushed. "It makes me feel nostalgic, but also at the same time, if it came out yesterday, it would be an absolute smash. I love it so much."
She also mentioned that the track’s music video, which shows Britney, 44, as a space-themed flight attendant, played a major role in its appeal.
"The bit that stays in my mind that I remember so well is Britney in a stewardess outfit, and I don't think anyone has been able to make a stewardess outfit look so good," Dua said, before confessing her belief that Britney was "an icon".
"I love Britney so much," she said. "I love everything about her, all her songs. She's such an icon."
