Flo Milli starred in a Beats by Dre commercial in November in support of their Flex That holiday campaign, but she found herself a trending Twitter topic on Monday (January 4) when fans made the ad go viral.
Many were stunned to see Milli dancing to her 2020 Snoop Dogg-interpolating “May I” single in front of a confederate statue in Alabama, while others couldn’t grasp how the headphone giant green-lit the commercial in the first place.
As public relations director Ahmad Davis wrote tweeted, “I just want to know how many people sat at a table and decided that Flo Milli x Beats By Dre commercial was a good idea.”
Another user added, “Listen I love Flo Milli, but they set her up with this one. Why tf would she randomly break out dancing in front of a confederate statue and what does ‘flex that clap back’ mean?”
The 20-year-old was featured in the Flex That campaign for Beats by Dre alongside Cordae and tennis phenom Naomi Osaka, which aimed to promote racial equality. According to a press release promoting the Beats Flex headphones, the company selected “influential Black, Gen Z talent, who continue to take a stand against racial inequality while inspiring youth around the world to bravely challenge norms, push boundaries and celebrate their identities.”
The emerging Alabama rapper finished off 2020 strong by bolstering her résumé and becoming the latest artist to join Rihanna’s Fenty x Savage army as an official ambassador for the lingerie brand.

Man, with EVERYTHING going on in the world, we actually have morons mad about this. Dumbing down has worked well for the elites. No wonder they get away with stealing nearly all of our tax payers money. People are distracted by nonsense.
If it pisses off enough milenials to get you famous, do a rap video in front of Stone Mountain in Georgia. Thats like the Confederate Mt. Rushmore…lol
man you people should open your eyes you have to. lets talk race relations all blacks will be white and whites will be white black asians will be black. there is something going on out there in society. its a genocide and it will be a tremendous massacre if it goes wrong with one race not so de-populated, but majority rules in a democracy. good luck.
I’m surprised she got that close to the statue and didn’t peacefully protest. Who cares? I don’t even know who this is.
Damn I thought it was just me smh. Hope the bag was worth it
