The video provides a sobering look at how extravagant celebrations become symbolic stand-ins for traditional milestones that feel increasingly unattainable. It correctly identifies that when long-term social stability declines, people often invest heavily in temporary rituals to capture a sense of status and belonging.

Becky causes an uproar on telling Black women why the spend so much on Proms and baby showersAdded:
They are mad at this Becky.
They are mad.
I I saw them going in on I was like, "Well, what did Becky do?
Listen to this. Listen to this, y'all."
>> Which means one thing and one thing only. Hood. It's prom season, which means one thing and one thing only. hood prom. And I think what a lot of people fail to realize is hood prom and baby mama culture are like this. You can't have one without the other. You can't have hood prom or the baby shower stuff or the gender reveals or anything like that without baby mama culture. Cuz the reason why the dresses are so extravagant in the cars, in the show, in the presentation, is because this is the closest these girls will ever get to being a bride. And Tell tell us, Becky, that you're not in this space without telling us.
She's talking about Kesha culture.
She's talking about Kesha culture and the rat community. This what she's talking about.
which means one thing and only hood prom. And I think what a lot of people fail to realize is hood prom and baby mama culture are like this. You can't have one without the other. You can't have hood prom or the baby shower stuff or the gender reveals or anything like that without baby mama culture. Because the reason why the dresses are so extravagant in the cars, in the show, in the presentation, is because this is the closest these girls will ever get to being a bride in the black community.
I'm sorry to say it, actually. No, I'm not because it's the truth. Especially in lower income households, there's not as as much of an emphasis on family anymore. These kids aren't getting married. They're going to be baby mamas and baby daddies. So, they're never going to have a wedding. These girls are never going to walk down the aisle. Some of them probably will, but the majority of them will never be a wife. They will never be a bride. So, they'll never have a wedding. That's why the dresses remind you of big, beautiful wedding dresses.
These kids are substituting their wedding with prom.
>> Now, where's the lie?
And you know who's you know who's uh supporting and pushing that?
Their mothers.
Their mothers is advocating for that.
Their mothers is supporting it. Their mothers are even financing it. They you have the mothers who will go into debt to fund these wild extravagant looking proms because they know that there is a slim chance to them getting married. Why? Because they're constantly telling them, "Don't prioritize men. Don't prioritize relationships.
Don't prioritize anything dealing with cooperation.
>> Prom.
>> Let's get this straight. There's no such thing as a hood prom. It's just a prom.
>> Already lying.
Already lying.
Already lying. Then we see then we see a a principal ban a young female from her prom because of the way she was dressing.
Didn't we didn't we see that >> guys? Is hood prom and baby mama culture are like this.
>> Hold on. Hold on. [ __ ] Didn't we see that?
This right here. Remember this? This just happened. This happened four weeks ago. This This just happened four weeks ago.
She got sent home to prom due to dress code violation. Look what she has on.
Look what she has on.
And and and the and the schools are starting to see that's that it's a problem and they're starting to crack down on it. Look look at this.
This report came out of that that you know when they started uh when they started uh spreading that that um that story that story went viral right that story went viral and because of that these these statistics started coming up about uh seniors and be you know them being denied entry because of this the the the uh dresses are too revealing.
Look, a recent 2026 report shows multiple separate incidents where high school seniors were denied entry or forced to leave their prom due to school principles deeming their dresses too revealing or against the dress code.
These events sparked intense online debate regarding student self-expression versus school authority and safety standards.
So, what do you mean there's no hood prom? That's hood mentality.
We see the proms.
We see the money that they spent that we know they can't afford.
They're renting uh they're renting uh Lamborghinis. They're renting Rolls-Royces. They're renting wraiths.
They're renting things they can't afford. They're spending a a a large amount of money that they're not going to be able to recoup just for these extravagant proms that that's hood mentality.
Spending money they can't afford. How many times we talked about the hood mentality about about these dudes uh wearing $500 belts, uh $700 shoes, and they live in a projects.
How they pushing uh Benz, but they live in a rat community. They they drive clean, but sleep nasty.
That is hood mentality. And it's the same thing when it goes to a prom.
Spending on things you really can't afford just because you know where she's heading.
You know, the mothers know there's there's no uh marriage down the line.
They know there's no marriage down the line. It's the mother's mentality that they push on the daughters and they don't even get that. Why? She don't even get that understanding of rat hood rat mentality. Hold on. Let's go back.
>> A hood prom. It's just a prom.
>> Is hood prom and baby mama culture are like this. Because the reason why the dresses are so extravagant in the cars, the show and the presentation is because this is the closest these girls will ever get to being a bride in the black community. I'm sorry to say it.
Actually, no, I'm not because it's the truth. Especially in lower income households, there's not as as much of an emphasis on family anymore. These kids aren't getting married.
>> What black teenage girl or what teenage girl period would think to herself, you know what, let me go above and beyond for my prom because I know that I'm just going to end up being a baby mama and this is my only chance to shine as the princess of the night. This is my only chance because I'm never going to be somebody's wife.
Who the hell even thinks? Who would even think of something like that?
>> This is how you know they're done.
They're done. See, what Becky is talking about is the overall attitude and and the overall uh symptom of the sickness in the rat community. Right? This what she's talking about. She's talking about the picture as a whole. She's not talking from the perspective of a 18, 19 year old, 17 year old. She's not talking from the perspective of a teenager like this Kesha is right here. This Kesha is talking from the perspective of what a teenager would think about. But let's talk about these teenagers, right? These teenagers are Yes. Yes, they are thinking about being baby mothers because that's all they see around them.
They don't see marriages around them.
They don't see uh productive relationships around them. They don't see wives around them. They see baby mothers.
That's why every time you turn around, you hear stories of a baby mother at at a younger they it's like they keep getting younger and younger and younger.
Why? Because that's pushed on to them.
So they understand the concept of being a baby mother because they see it inside their homes. They see it outside their homes. They see it in the media. They see it in rap music. You got all these ratchet rappers, these ratchet Kha rappers, they see that that's being pushed on to them. Wives is not being pushed on to them. When you look at other communities, when you look at other uh uh racial backgrounds, when you look at them, the girls, they grow up wanting to be what? They grow up wanting to one day be married. They even think about that when they're young. Why?
Because they see that around them. They see their mothers. They see their fathers. They see that they're married.
They see their aunts and uncles married.
They see their grandfathers, grandmothers. They're married. So, naturally, they going to want to grow up and be married also. And she can't even see that simple analysis of what the Becky is talking about because she's triggered cuz most likely she's a baby mother. And this is what happens when truth is spoken. When the truth is spoken, they get triggered. This is crazy. How you talking from the perspective of a teenager who's the one that's being affected by this rap community culture and instead of talking about what's happening as a whole. This is insane, man. This is insane.
>> Just because black people do something doesn't mean that it needs to be labeled.
>> No, no, no, no. Don't put black pe No, no. She's not talking about black men.
She's talking about y'all. You get out of here.
>> Good or ghetto. It's called culture.
That's the culture of black.
>> Yeah. No. No. It's called kesha culture.
>> Proms. And then she decided to add >> What? What? What are you talking about?
That's the culture of proms. What are you talking about?
What culture? What? That's not That's not Brad's culture. That's not Hector's culture. What? What you What are you talking about? You don't see a bunch of You don't see a in the in brass community, you don't see proms going on in in masses with them having these huge recordbreaking proms unless it's from a community that can afford it. We're talking about Brads and Becky's that are up there in the financial sphere when it comes to that being spent. We're talking about the rat community where they don't have the capital to when you look at when you look at Brad and and and or or if you see Hector doing something like that, that's because most likely they're financially well off.
They're financially well off. If you and I'm talking about even if you see that they're financially well off, you don't see the average Brad doing that. You don't see the average Hector doing that.
You don't see that. You don't see the average Maria or the average Becky doing that because they're average people.
What the rat community tried to do is try to trick people or try to make it seem like they're not average because in the rat community they're told to fake it like you're rich because they're poor. When you're poor, you don't like feeling poor. So the only way to stop feeling poor is to pretend like you're rich. And that's what happens in the rat community. So what they do is what they do is put themselves in debt, rent things they can't really afford, and before you know it, they got an eviction notice. The lights is getting cut off over a prom. They can't afford it.
It's rat community kha culture.
>> Says that black girls go all out for prom because So this woman here says that black girls go all out for prom.
mistaken short married.
>> I didn't even want to scroll through the video because I'm like, I really don't want to listen to your point of why you think most black girls will never get married.
>> So then why do the video if you don't want to listen to the point?
>> Can you get any more short bus?
>> Then you're sore.
>> Don't even make sense.
>> Us as a collective of black people, right? When we do prom, we go all out.
We treat it like it's the Met Gala or a red carpet black.
>> Why would you treat it like it's the Met Gala? Who's at the Met Gala? Black men, when you look at the Met Gala, is an extravagant event. Supposed to be a extravagant event, right? And it's usually what? Who who are the people there? It's entertainers. It's producers, right? It's directors, right?
It's it's uh it's uh movie stars. It's all types of people there. And what do they all have in common? They either famous, wealthy, rich. That's what they have in common. Why would you treat something that has nothing to do with anything about your life? You're not even average financially. You're below average financially. So why would you want to treat something like the Met Gala when you are nowhere near you you having a hard time getting out of poverty? Why what are you talking about Met Gala for? And that's the point.
That's the point. You're doing this, putting yourself in debt, right? Further in debt, spending lavishly on things that you can't afford because you're trying to escape the the the trying to, you know, trying to basically escape the the poverty. They're trying to escape that uh sense of poverty that they have because nobody wants to feel poor or broke, but if that's what you are, that's what you are. So instead of trying to ma fake it till you make it, why don't you actually do something about it? Why don't you actually do something about it? Why don't you make it your business to change the reality of your situations? Why don't you move out of the rat community? Why don't you get off of section 8? Why don't you get out of housing? Why don't you get off of EBT?
Why don't you do these things to improve your life? Work harder. No, that's not what they do. And that's the whole problem of this situation here. The inner city, you know, cuz that's what they call it, the rat community, the inner city. You're seeing these in poor neighborhoods. That's the whole point of this. Poor neighborhoods are doing this.
And it's pushing ratchet baby mama culture onto the teenagers.
And they can't even see that. They can't even see that.
>> Girls nowadays in this time, okay, we're going all out. All right. We're going to wear our best outfit. We're going to make sure we match the theme to the tea.
We are not. I have to say we because when I went to prom, I was thinking about having fun and making sure that I had the best night of my life. For her to say it like this or to mean it this way, who is your proof? Did you collect data from a collective of black women?
Did you do a study? Cuz I want to know.
>> Oh yeah. Uh 74% of children are born out of wedlock from these khishes. 74%.
Only one in four kesha would get married.
26% are married.
Becky is at 54. Lingling I believe is at 65.
You're at the bottom of the totem pole.
The stats are out there.
What are you talking about? The stat statistics of they've been out there for the longest.
And that all ties into what Becky is talking about. It all ties into that.
The numbers are out there. What is she talking about?
>> No. How? And you just see them talk about uh you just seen you you just seen me show how they're having concerns about how they dressed showing up to prom.
You know, even even uh think even to the point where they may they think that it may cause a safety concern to wear their dress.
You saw that. That's all from that. What is she talking about, man? Why is an 18year-old thinking about marriage on prom? Right? That's not what 18.
>> And and again, just like the other Kesha, just a Kesha will always be This is not even surface level thinking.
This is not even surface level thinking.
It's that's not the point.
The point is the picture. The point is the whole of the the the situation.
It's community.
It's raised up with a mentality.
They don't even get it. Don't even get it.
>> Teenager is going to be thinking about on prom night. I mean, there's this new day and age where people are forming thoughts and trying to come up with different type of theories.
>> But this is not one of them, okay?
Claiming that black girls will never get married. So that's why they go out for prom. That's not a proven.
>> Not just prom, but they do it for baby showers also. She mentioned baby showers. She's talking about the whole of the situation with y'all.
How come? How come we always seeing baby showers, but we're never seeing any marriages?
Where does that come from? That come from the prom also. We're And the reason why you're starting to see the prom doing this because like I said, you're seeing them become baby mothers at younger age. How many of them are going to prom and already have a kid?
Let me say that again. Black men, how many of them are going to prom and they already have a kid?
Don't talk to us about anything. We know what we're talking about over here.
>> Got on here and talking about that dizzy [ __ ] really got on here and talking about pro hood prom is rooted in baby mama culture and they going all out because they'll never be wives and this is their time. Just say you don't like black people. Just say you're racist and you don't like black people and leave us the hell alone. Okay? Because here's the thing. prom, a debutant ball, a kins, a sweet 16, the party that's had after a bot bar mitzvah, all these other like rights of passage that people have at different points in their like young adult lives. Same [ __ ] It's the same >> really. Rights of passage in what? This why you can't listen to them because they don't know what they're talking about. Rights of passage in what?
Rights of passage in what? in their own community.
In their own community, a bar mitzvah is what?
A bar mitzvah is what?
It's for boys turning 13, marking their transition to religious maturity and responsibility for observing commandments. It's a lot more, but it's it's it's basically a right of passage in their community.
In their community, Kiniera is a traditional Latin American celebration of a girl's 15th birthday, marking her transition from childhood to adulthood.
It combines a religious ceremony often of a Catholic mass with a large reception featuring a court of honor chore choreographed dances and symbolic rituals like changing shoes and a last doll. That's a community thing. That's what they do in their community. A right of passage in their community.
Proms are not community things. What are you talking about? We're talking about what happens at proms in certain communities. But the prom itself, it's not a community thing. And what I mean, it's not it's not specific just just one community. It's a education thing. It's graduating from high school.
is a celebration that e that the that that Brad's community, Hector community, Lingling's community, Raj community, everybody community celebrates that cuz they all go to school. So that's not specific to a community, but yet she's bringing up things that's specific to a community to to what? Make a point that everybody does this. What are you talking about?
She's not making any sense.
This is why you can't listen to them.
They really think they cooking when they're talking. You don't make sense.
A prom is a prom in all communities.
She's bringing up specific things in communities that they can't attend.
Everybody can attend a prom. Everybody can't attend a kin sierra. Everybody can't attend a bar mitzvah.
Not making any sense.
>> And yet y'all only seem to catch an attit attitude when black people are spending money on their children. Okay.
I don't see y'all don't get up here. I see those lavish ass B bar mitzvah parties and y'all not up in Jewish people facing my like, do they have a bank account?
>> Still don't get it. Still don't get it.
Still don't get it. Like >> that seems very tacky and like, oh, you spent all this money on a child. Like I hope that they have like a college savings account. Like this seems y'all don't do that.
>> First of all, they already have it.
That's the thing. Y'all don't have the college accounts for the for these kids.
Now, now here's the thing. Black men, this is not a new discussion.
They been talking about this. Khas really, they've been talking about this and they had their concerns about these proms and they're calling it prom or poverty, but they're only mad because a Becky said something about it.
Check out these videos that you about to see.
>> Getting ready to get in the car, but let me ask y'all this real quick. She crashing out because she doesn't have five or $6,000 for her daughter's prom send off. I'm talking about like the dress, the shoes, the hair, the all of this different stuff. Like she need the money. Now, don't judge me cuz I'm not rich. Now, my father is rich in houses and land, but I ain't got money like that yet. He ain't blessed me with it like that yet. But do y'all equate these big old proms and stuff like that to poverty? Like, is the prom the end all be all? Is high school graduation the end all be all? Like, why isn't she trying to save that $5 or $6,000 for college? Like I've never really seen like wealthy people um sitting their kids off like that. They have like the little thing right here, the little thing on the arm, the little flowers and stuff and then they go on. They use they money for like SAT prep, you know, um help writing an essay, tutor or something. Y'all let me know. So >> now, no, it doesn't stop here. They've been talking about this.
These these videos are before that Becky said something.
Let's see. Let's see some more. You the the big back ends was talking about it too.
>> Is for the black parents because I don't see the whites doing this. Um this message is for the black parents because I don't >> It's not black parents. They It's the Kesha parents. Stop putting us in there.
They're not talking about us. Um, this message is for the black parents because I don't see the whites doing this. Um, these prom sendoffs are getting completely out of hand. Out of order.
Why are we sending these kids off in Lamborghinis and Bentleys and all the things? Last year or so, I seen a dude come in on a camel. What the [ __ ] are we doing? I hope the same amount of money that you're spending on these proms is the same amount of money you're going to spend when they graduate if they go to college. And why are some of these girls naked and the boys are wearing gym shoes? We are not even properly dressing them. You're spending all of this money for them to be naked and wearing gym shoes. This is the most ghettoest [ __ ] I've ever seen. Why? Because we are trying to prove a point and how much money we are willing to spend on our children. They're in high school.
They're going to prom. It's not their wedding. Stop this.
>> It's not their wedding. She don't even understand what she was saying.
She don't even understand what she was saying. Black men.
So Becky said something about the same thing they were talking about and she's racist.
Now I'm not saying >> um this message is for the black.
>> Here's the thing. Here's the thing. I don't know Becky. I don't know who I don't know her black background, her life. I don't know nothing about her.
But what she was saying had nothing to do with racism as far as them talking as far as her talking down on black. She made an observation.
There's nothing racist about the observation.
They don't even understand the They don't even understand the breakdown.
They don't even understand the definition of racism or racist. They don't even understand it. You ask them, give them the definition of racism, they'll tell you something so far out, you'll think this Kishha just came down from this planet. You think this Kisha is an alien? Where where you coming from?
Where are you coming from? Alien Kha, where you from? Pluto?
You're just learning what words are, what they mean. Who are you? Elf.
Yeah, they these Khases probably are elf. They out here eating a box, eating cat.
Okay, let's talk about it real quick.
Let's make it make sense. Those prom sendoffs are looking better than the actual prom that the school provides.
Parents are out here spending $3,000 on shoes for your son, $3,000 on dresses for your daughter, and meanwhile, they three credits shy of graduating or only half three credits to begin with. These kids are pulling up in horse and carriages and sports cars and ain't pulled up to school or class in the last three weeks. And do not come up here talking about, "My child has a 4.4 GPA.
My child is graduating in the top of their class, so I'mma spend as much money as I want on prom." Everybody child got a 4.4 GPA. Everybody child graduate in the top of their class. When teachers have to give kids a 50 for doing nothing when schools are lying about their graduation rates and graduating kids that don't even have the credits to graduate or the seat hours.
So don't nobody want to hear that.
Parents, y'all going to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on prom and then next week you going to be in the guidance office hollering and screaming that you need a fee waiver cuz you low income. y'all spending thousands and thousands of dollars on prom and next week you gonna be in front of that computer trying to fill out the fast for application. And I'm sure that there are kids out here that have actually earned that extravagant prom send off. But usually the kids who deserve it, parents are not the ones that's doing it. It's the kids that's barely graduating, the kids that ain't graduating, the kids that's failing, the kids that got nothing but zeros in the grade book, the kids who don't even have the C hours, but they parents spending all that money for prom. And guess what? Your child can't even attend graduation.
Now again, these videos occurred before Becky video.
So Becky can So Becky's getting all that work from them.
But this was said before by them.
Like like I said, you know, Becky Becky catching strays because she's a Becky. Kesha been talking about this for the longest.
They've been talking about this not not a not the long not a long long time, but they've been talking about this cuz black men has been talking about it.
Black men talked about it first, but then Kesha, you know, Kesha Oh, what they're talking about. Let me just piggyback off what they're talking about to gain some traction.
You know, they're parrots. All they do is parrot what we say. But it was talked about already. We stopped talking about it.
We said, "Hey, it is what it is." You know, that's the rat community. But then Kesha started talking about it and no smoke.
No smoke.
But as soon as Becky says something about it, they got all the smoke for Becky. Why? Because they don't like they don't like being observed by other other races of people, whether it's uh Brad, whether it's um whether it's Becky, whether it's Hector, whether it's Maria, because they don't care about our opinions. Black men, when black men talk about it, they don't care about our opinions.
See, you know, Becky, Maria, Brad, they all have this uh they all have this affinity to want to get validation from other people other than us. So, if they say something negative about them, it really crushes them because they want to be accepted by these people. They want to be accepted by Becky. They want to be accepted by Brad, Hector, Maria, uh, Lingling Lling, uh, Lee. They want to be accepted. So, when anytime they say something negative about them, it really crushes their soul.
But when we say things, it doesn't matter because they don't care about us accepting them. They don't care. They think that we're a given. Black men are a given. So, we don't really care about their opinion because they supposed to be with us regardless.
But when it comes to them spending this large amounts of money, like I said, after the money is spent, it's back to the cheese line.
It's back to the cheese line. It's back to begging.
is back for asking for extensions.
Yeah. Can you give me extension for the light bill, cable bill, any any bill?
Can you give me extension on the rent?
It's back to those the money is spent could have spent that on on their college fund.
what they spent on on the college fund, you know, for could have paid for probably a year of community college.
Could have paid for probably a year community college for for what they spent.
Not Not a university. Not a univer. But but some of them even spend university money.
Some of them even spend university money, a year's worth of university money. But think about it, $6 to $10,000 to for a prom. Who gets rich?
Who is getting rich? Black men when they spend this much money on these proms 6 to10,000.
Who's getting rich from the rat community? Who's getting rich? I tell you who's getting rich. the the the car the luxury car rentals, they're getting rich.
It's ironic that the luxury car companies are getting rich off of the broke people.
Isn't that ironic? They're getting rich off the broke people.
They're not getting rich off the rich.
They're getting rich off the broke people renting out these luxury cars.
Who else is getting rich?
Who else is getting rich? companies, corporations, people who sell these dresses, people who sell these these uh the clothes, the people who put together these um you know, event planners, you know, it's get event planners are getting rich cuz they have event planners for these for these uh for these uh proms. Event can you imagine? They they hire event planners for these proms.
They invest in the wrong things and they invest in the wrong things to try to prove to people who don't matter that they're rich, that they're doing well.
>> Bombs.
