Flo Milli has responded to people who criticized her for performing a live show after giving birth to her first child last month.
The 25-year-old rapper announced the birth of her son on April 25, and her first postpartum performance went down at the RiverBeat Musical Festival in Memphis on May 3. Some felt it was too soon for her to perform live again, but she quickly shot down the criticism in a pair of tweets.
“It’s y’all really thinking I had my baby 9 days ago,” she wrote in a tweet shared on Monday, May 5, suggesting that she did not give birth to her son on the same day she shared the news with the world. “God forbid a girl just wanna feel like herself again and perform.”
In a follow-up post, she quote-tweeted a user who wrote, “Flo Milli’s n***a don’t got a job? Why is she already performing? Where is her family and friends?” In response, the rapper wrote, “Ho go choke on a dick and die before you speak on me, my child’s father or my family.”
The father of the child is rapper G6Reddot, and he shared photos celebrating the arrival of their child on Instagram last month. “Welcome my first born sixx,” he wrote. “It’s not easy being a Black father in America dey already counting me out.”
