Yung Miami just locked down worldwide representation with WME, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect for the rapper.
She has been riding the biggest wave of her career despite all the noise around “Spend Dat.” The controversial track became the song of the summer, and every critic who came for it only made more people want to hear what the fuss was about. India.Arie called out the song’s lyrics celebrating scammer culture, and Jill Scott chimed in with his own concerns about the message, but their criticism didn’t slow the momentum one bit.
Instead, “Spend Dat” climbed higher, racked up two million TikTok creations, and hit number four on the viral chart. She even performed it during the New York Knicks’ NBA Championship Parade, cementing its status as the anthem nobody could escape. The backlash became free marketing, and Yung Miami understood the assignment. Her solo debut album is dropping this year on Uptown Records, and the WME deal covers all areas of her career. This isn’t just about music anymore. She’s already proven herself as an actress, appearing in “You People” and “Bad Boys for Life,” plus a guest spot on “Grown-ish.” Her podcast Caresha Please accumulated 45 million YouTube views and won the BET Hip Hop Award for Best Hip-Hop Platform, showing she’s got the platform and the reach that major agencies want to build on.
