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.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
