Tetris Kelly: Hope y’all ready to Watch This with Yung Miami. How you doing, girl?
Yung Miami: Hey. How you doing?
I am good. I’m so happy you’re here. How are you feeling now that the album is out, you’ve done the thing?
I’m so happy. I feel like a blessed girl. I am very happy, I’m excited, I’m glad the album is here, and overall I just feel great.
I mean, you said it, right? You a blessed girl because “Spend Dat” was your highest charting song solo on the Hot 100 platinum. How do these milestones feel to you at this point?
I just, I don’t … I’m still soaking it in. I’m still amazed by it. I’m still just … I just be like, “Wow, look at me. Look at me.” Look at me. It’s giving “watch this.”
Look at me, God.
It’s giving “watch this.” It is giving “watch this.” It’s giving “watch this.”
And one of my favorite parts about the journey of the song was how cultural it felt. It was everywhere. It is everywhere. You know, you can see it at the cookout, at a sporting event, everywhere. What’s the craziest place you have seen people go crazy for “Spend Dat”?
I think the school board. The guy, he was giving a speech. He had said something at the school board that was funny. I like the little AI videos they do.
They do be funny.
Keep watching for more!
