Baddie Behavior or Boundaries Crossed? Summer under fire for Emmett Till Comment

Ayeeeeeee Baby, the streets (and Twitter) are not here for Summer this week, and rightfully so. During a heated opening on the new Baddies: Africa, Summer from the infamous “Big Three” trio (alongside Big Lex and Bad Dolly) found herself at the center of major backlash after making a wildly offensive and inappropriate comment about castmate Diamond The Body’s appearance; yelling, “Her face looks like Emmett Till!”

Now if you’re a real subscriber or Zeus junkie, then you already know Summer is no stranger to chaos. From yelling her signature one-liners like "On my mama", “Show me your baddies b*tch!” to jumping in fights despite Big Lex yelling “Ain’t no jumping!”, Summer stays in the middle of the madness. But this time, she took it too far.


Let’s be clear: Emmett Till was a 14-year-old Black boy who was brutally lynched in 1955 — and referencing his name to insult someone’s appearance, especially on a reality show that capitalizes on Black culture, is not just ignorant, it’s deeply disrespectful to the Black community and our history.


After the episode aired and the internet lit her up, Summer posted a statement on social media


where she apologized, calling her comment “inappropriate and insensitive,” and claimed she’s “committed to learning and growing.”


But that didn’t stop Charlamagne Tha God from giving her Donkey of the Day, and honestly… she earned it.


The fight stemmed from an already chaotic scene. Earlier, Summer and her girls ran up on Diamond, Pretty P, and Ivory; which led to hands being thrown. Ivory gave Bad Dolly the business (Mario coins everywhere), Big Lex had Pretty P shook on the couch, and DTB and Summer locked in. After a messy second round, Summer and Diamond walked off missing eyelashes, while Dolly iced her eye and fear was literally visible on her face.

But the drama didn’t stop there. Summer then snatched Pretty P’s bag!


So let’s really talk about it:

  • Was Summer just being messy… or did she cross a line?

  • Is that apology enough?

  • Should she be dropped from the cast?

  • Is this the real Summer or a character for Zeus clout?

As someone who plays the loud villain role, Summer toes the line between entertainment and outright disrespect weekly; but this? This hit different. We wanna know what y’all think:

Is Summer really your favorite baddie… or is it time for her to go? 👀
