They noticed the yellowing of her eyes and felt that it might mean that she is experiencing a health crisis. Fans were quick to attack the Fatsdabarber, who is also a cast member on Nick Cannon's Wild ’N Out, for posting the video online. Many felt that Young M.A was being exploited as she appears to be facing a current health issue.
"That barber is completely f------ wrong and unethical," wrote one fan on Twitter after seeing the video. "Young MA whole body language looked like she ain't wanna be recorded and you posted that s---?"
Another added, "That barber foul for posting that vid of Young MA. You could definitely tell she ain’t really wanna be recorded like that smh."
While many were wishing the "BIG" rapper well, one fan pointed at the comparison of how celebs are treated online when they could be going through a health crisis. "These comments showing me we haven’t learned from Chadwick Boseman."
In an Instagram Story posted on Wednesday (March 15) per XXL, Fatsdabarber defended himself against the attacks online.
"Y’all got so much to say as if I’m trying to embarrass my dawg. [She] reposted my video. If she didn’t want me to record she would have told me y’all don’t know our bond nor our friendship. What y’all need to do is just send your prayers for her and that’s that. She didn’t have a haircut in a month and she wanted me to bring her haircut back to life and which I did!!!!! Thank you sis for coming and rocking with me like always — Love ya."
Young M.A reiterated Fatsdabarber's response by reposting his Instagram Story and writing, "We blessed don't let that get to you blooda," she wrote. "And I told you it was like 4 months."
The "OOOUUU" rapper didn't clear up fans' concerns about her health but as of now its confirmed at least that she has no bad blood with Fatsdabarber.
Hip-Hop and R&B had several great releases in February from a variety of artists. There have been offerings from Quavo, Latto, GloRilla, and many more. Take a look at some of the best hip-hop and R&B releases of February:
"Boy's a liar Pt. 2" - Ice Spice and PinkPantheress
Ice Spice and PinkPantheress teamed up for "Boy's a liar Pt. 2" which earned them the No. 4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. This was the first time the two collaborated and the first time both artists got a Top 5 spot on the chart.
"Greatness" - Quavo
Quavo's "Greatness" gave fans the answers they were looking for after Takeoff's tragic death; What is the future of the Migos? "Came in, swept the game like a storm with the muthaf------ flow, n----, Take did that/ So don’t ask about the group, he gone, we gone, young n---- it can’t come back, damn!" Quavo raps on the outro. He later gave a shoutout to Takeoff and Migos' impact on the culture: "I couldn’t do it without the greatest group in the world … I couldn’t do it without the greatest nephew in the world."
"Lottery" - Latto ft. Lu Kala
Latto proved in her February offering that she can still make a great rap/pop bop. "Lottery" featuring Lu Kala earned the Congolese-Canadian singer her first Billboard Hot 100 hit when it debuted at No. 83 on the chart. "Lottery" is Latto’s first single of the year following last December’s "Another Nasty Song" and "FTCU" featuring GloRilla and the late Gangsta Boo.
"Special Remix" - Lizzo ft. SZA
Lizzo and SZA finally gave us what we were waiting for in the "Special Remix." The two teased the single back in November 2022 after SZA joined Lizzo on stage for her Special Tour. SZA previously told Rolling Stone how much she adores working with Lizzo. "We just have so much fun together. And I feel like she gets me. She’s another person who has hella music tastes and doesn’t fit in anybody’s box of anything," she said. This is both Lizzo and SZA's first collab together and their first release of 2023.
"Internet Trolls" - GloRilla
In "Internet Trolls" Glo raps about what people present on the internet is never what it actually is offline. The record is GloRilla's second song of the year following her collab with Moneybagg Yo for "On Wat U On."
"Champions" - NLE Choppa
NLE Choppa dropped his upbeat and motivational track "Champions" on Feb. 3. The rapper explained the meaning behind the song in an Instagram post writing,"My definition of a champion is anyone who has faced adversity and still [hasn’t] let it define who they are on the inside," he said. The Memphis native is gearing up for a follow-up his 2019 Cottonwood EP, which has since earned a gold certification.
"Moonlight" - Kali Uchis
As Kali Uchis prepares for the release of Red Moon In Venus, she dropped her second single "Moonlight." The track was first teased on November 20, 2022 via Kali’s official TikTok. Uchis has described her new album as "a timeless, burning expression of desire, heartbreak, faith, and honesty, reflecting the divine femininity of the moon and Venus."
