Seeing the rumors that she was pregnant, Issa Rae wrote in a tweet, “I am not pregnant, f***youverymuch.” She added, in case that wasn’t quite clear enough, “LET A B**** EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY.” Now also feels like a good time to add that, in the video where people suspected she was pregnant, the “Insecure” creator was also holding a flute of what appears to be champagne, which we would assume she would not be doing if she did indeed have a bun in the oven.
But Rae also had fans on social media who had her back. “NAH IM F****** CRYING. Leave her alone y’all,” was one person’s quote-tweet on Rae’s formal announcement of her non-pregnancy. Another fan wrote, “Y’all. When people drink they get bloated! Most people have their photos edited. Mainstream media has robbed y’all of celebrities looking ‘normal’ she literally has alcohol in her hand smh.”
And because Rae is a true treasure, she also has her friend’s backs. Seeing that her not pregnant tweet was getting attention, she took the opportunity to plug her friends’ podcast underneath. We stan a fetus-free queen.
