India.Arie is clearing the air on her remarks about Yung Miami’s hit song, “Spend Dat.”

On Wednesday (July 1), the soul singer posted a video on her Substack and posted several messages on her Instagram Story denying some of the reports that she wanted people to boycott Yung Miami’s tune, “Spend Dat.” In her posts below, India. Arie makes it clear that she did not call for people to boycott the song.

However, she is concerned about the cultural acceptance of the song.

“I also said that the way we are embracing the songs says a lot about where we are as a culture[,] which … IS JUST FACTS,” she wrote on her IG Story.

On her Substack video, India.Arie cautioned about the song’s overall influence on young people, suggesting “the frequency” and the lyrics of the song are problematic. “The melodic use of words is a frequency… it has power,” she said. “Whatever you do with it, is your choice,” she added.
