Yung Miami says she wants to be 'Black Oprah', Internet reminds her 'already got one of those'

'I'm dreaming big. I want to go to the highest of the highest. I want to be the Black Oprah,' Yung Miami said as she discussed where she plans to go next in life

Twitter is responding to Yung Miami's comment about being the next ‘Black Oprah’ with its customary harshness. In an exclusive interview with XXL, Yung Miami, aka Caresha Brownlee and one-half of the City Girls, discussed her relationship with Diddy, her musical career, and where she plans to go next as she advances in the industry.

Although it's obvious that Yung most likely stumbled over her words in one part of the interview which made headlines, reminding us that the Internet can be quite harsh at times. The controversy was sparked when she termed herself as ‘Black Oprah’ while talking to XXL about how she always grabs the headlines. “People just loving to hear me talk, you know? Whenever I talk or whenever I go on [Instagram] Live, it go viral. So, one day I was talking with Diddy and he was like, “Yeah, [you] should do a podcast. It would be good for you,” and that’s how it came out. It was just a conversation of me just always going viral off the way I talk and the engagement that I used to get off of Instagram Live. What’s a goal that you want to accomplish with this new podcast endeavor? I want to take it to the next level. I want to be like—I think she has a podcast now—a person like Wendy Williams. I’m dreaming big. I want to go to the highest of the highest. I want to be the Black Oprah. Sub out the world “next” for “Black” or “Hood Version” and it’s clear what Yung Miami was going for at the moment but that doesn’t matter in the vicious world of social media.” Later, she tweeted ‘Black Oprah’ from her official account which has been the subject of numerous troll replies.

Twitteratis certainly did not hold themselves back on Yung’s ‘Black Oprah’ tweet as one user said, “ A laughingstock you are sis.” Another one reminded Yung, “Not the black Oprah like Oprah ain’t already black.”

Yung was made a laughing stock as one user commented, “Stop it, you hit the search. Damn, you don’t know Oprah?”

One user replied, “Do you mean you wanna be Hood Oprah? Are you saying Oprah ain’t black? Are you being disrespectful to Oprah? What did Oprah do to you? Why do I feel offended? I have questions. I’m confused Caresha.”

Another user sarcastically wrote: “YESSSS we’ve been needing one for a looooong time.”

In the interview, Yung also discussed her love life, spoke about Diddy and the kind of relationship she shares with him. When asked about her relationship status with him, she told XXL, “We are dating. We single, but we’re dating. People don’t know what dating means. He’s single, I’m single, but we’re dating. That’s what I mean when I say we go together. When we’re together, we’re together. We’re having the time of our lives, but we’re still single. He see other people outside of me and I see people outside of him. I’m young. I’m dating. I’m, you know, having fun. I’m doing me. He’s doing the same thing. I can’t speak for exactly what he doing or who he seeing, but we single and we dating. But we are dating each other, but we single. I think it just went over people’s heads, you know? People just like to take whatever they wanna take from.”
