- (FBE) So, we recently were talking with your team about your new song,
"Bestie," so we brought in teens to react to it just so we could
then debut that footage here with you reacting to it.
- Okay. I expect them to like it but not wanna admit that they like it.
- (person screaming) - (gun fires)
- (Morgan gasps) Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! - (Marlhy) Is this
the "Go Bestie" song? Is this what I think-- yeah.
- (Ulises) It's Bhad Bhabie.
I [bleep] love Bhad Bhabie! She goes off!
- (Mikaela) This song was probably on repeat on my playlist
for a good week. (laughs) - This is one of
the best reaction videos I've ever seen.
- (Jeremiah) It kinda sounds kinda nice. I wanna hit one of these.
But then I remember who's singing it, and I'm like, "I don't know
if I should be doing this." - Why? That sounds so ignorant.
- (Jayka) Kodak, where you at? I know you're not some white dude.
- Why does she low-key look like me? The one girl?
- I don't like Bhad Bhabie that much. - No one likes you either.
You know you like the song, but, "Oh, I don't like Bhad Bhabie.
I'm not supposed to like this." You sound stupid.
I don't know why we're doing a whole, "Oh, I shouldn't like this"
or a "Low-key, this is fire." Like, bitch, it is what it is.
- (voice-over) And now, a word from our sponsors.
- (chuckles) - (man) Take four.
- (Bhad Bhabie) Copycat Cosmetics. - My manager.
He was like, "Yeah, we should just put some [bleep] in there
and just do your thing." And I'm like, "All right."
But the ending part where I literally got up,
I was literally like, "I'm done with this" and got up.
Like, that's exactly how that went. I literally walked right off set
after that. That was so pure.
- (Moises) Why are you all making me watch this?
- 'Cause it's funny. What do you mean?
- (Jayka) I like this song. I'm not-- I can't lie.
She has a good flow. - Why would you have to lie?
If you like it, you like it. if you don't, you don't.
When you hear a Future song or a Young Thug song
or a Kodak song, do you think, "Oh, I'm not gonna lie,
I like this"?
- (Bhad Bhabie) Bitch! - (Jeremiah) Oh my god! (laughs)
That was a lot. - I guess because I was
at the shooting of the video, I don't think it's that gruesome,
'cause I seen how everything works. I guess if you're in a horror movie
and you're behind the scenes a bit, you're not really gonna get scared
when you watch it. My only fear was getting fake blood
on my [bleep] Air Forces. - (Bhad Bhabie) Pull up to the party,
I got everybody lit. - (Moises) This video doesn't
kinda match the song, but whatever.
- When do any of my videos ever match the song?
- (Jayka) I'm proud of her. She's such a baddie now.
(crickets chirping) - DMX, yeah.
- (DMX) I can't go nowhere with this bitch again.
- (snickers) - (DMX) She's [bleep] crazy.
- (laughs) - Do y'all wanna see my reaction
from when I was told DMX was gonna be in the video?
I actually have it. I was taking a video of myself,
and he came up to me, and he was like,
"DMX is gonna be in the video." - (man) I have news.
I have news. DMX is in the video.
- (Bhad Bhabie) Whaaaat?! - (man) Yeah.
- (Bhad Bhabie) WHAAAT?! - (man) I just talked to him
on the phone. - (Bhad Bhabie) WHAT?!
- (FBE) One of the criticisms that Bhad Bhabie frequently receives
is that some think she acts inappropriately for her age,
seeing that she's only 15. - (Krischelle) She is?
- (FBE) Mm-hmm. - (Krischelle) Oh. (laughs)
Then I kind of agree with that. - To me, when people have
that reaction to me officially, like little girls or young girls,
I feel like it's more like, "I wish I could be like that,
but I know my mother would drag me through the [bleep] woods."
- (FBE) What do you think your parents would say if you made music like this?
- (Jackson) I don't think they would care
as long as I'm making money.
- (Moises) She's still starting off. She still has potential.
As a parent, do you really wanna kill that?
No, you don't wanna kill that. In fact, you wanna help them out.
- This question that y'all asked them was really interesting,
because that's something I think about all the time.
When people are judging me and saying-- or especially parents too, like,
"Oh, if this was my kid, I'd do this"-- no, you wouldn't!
You would want your child to get money. You wanna wanna live in a nice house.
You'd wanna live in a nice area.
You're living in the [bleep]-- in the middle of [bleep] probably,
what? Alabama with some [bleep] deer and [bleep]?
You're not living no type of life.
You barely even have a nice mall to go to.
Stop playin' with me. Instead of me being a meme
and being some [bleep] for y'all to just laugh at,
I've decided to make money and become popular and famous
for a good thing. I'm trying to do [bleep]
to make y'all like me more, like do [bleep]-- positive [bleep].
And I'm still getting bashed for it.
- (Morgan) I don't even think they know I'm a fan of her. Oops.
- (Marlhy) My mom would probably be like, "What the [bleep]?
You can do better than that." - You could do better than me?
Let me see it! - (FBE) The "Bestie" video
also features a cameo from DMX, a huge name in the rap community.
- (Morgan) Nice. - (Mikaela) That's so impressive.
You know, she was just an internet meme,
and now she's making actual music with actual rappers,
like legitimate, Billboard-topping artists.
That's really impressive. - (Ulises) I feel inspired,
almost inspired by her success... - I like him.
- (Ulises) ...literally at any age can make it into a big business,
like the entertainment business and the rap industry
and all that stuff. And especially for her
to be a young female coming up like that,
I think that's just so dope. - Yeah, if you think about it,
I have the two worst things you could have in the music industry:
female and young. I know everyone at least
has a little bit of respect for me. But if y'all wanna sit here
and lie, we could do the lying thing. It's okay. I've lied before.
I'm a great liar. We can lie. Come on, let's lie.
- (Jeremiah) It's kind of cool just how anybody could come up
out of nowhere. But at the same time, you know,
it's frustrating. It's like that could've been
literally anybody. And I don't know, I just feel
like there's a lot of... - And you sound mad,
'cause it wasn't you. - (Marlhy) I've been working
in the music industry for a really long time
and I know that it's a really hard process.
It's frustrating that it seems like it was honestly
that easy for her. - Ah! Bitch, you mad.
She said she's been in the music industry
for how long now? But you could better than me, right?
Okay, what are you gonna do? Sing some [bleep]
Lady Antebellum song? (snickers) [Bleep] outta here.
This little girl sitting in a room doing covers
with her [bleep] Barbie guitar. - (Jackson) People definitely hate her
'cause of the stuff she does outside of the music.
- (Mikaela) I think people just hate on her,
because it's almost like... - What do I do?
- (Mikaela) ..."What? How can she get..."
- What have I really been doing? I haven't even been bothering no one!
When's the last time y'all seen me hit someone?
- (Marlhy) Now she's on my Snapchat every day
because of that show she has now. It's coming up every day,
and it's like, "What did Bhad Bhabie do today?"
I'm like, "I don't know! Why are you on my phone?"
- She loves it. Don't let her fool you.
She loves it. She's a fan.
She probably got my signature tattooed on her hip
where no one can see it. Trust me.
- (FBE) What would be your advice to her
about her career? - (Moises) Keep doing you, boo!
Proud of you! - (Jayka) You do you, girl.
I support you. Just don't be disrespectful
to your mom. - Live in my house,
then you could speak on that. But okay.
I'm have to take these off for this one.
It's that, you know, a lot of artists have
things against them. You don't like me,
because I disrespect my mother, something that I'm sure all of you
have done once in your life. If all these kids are gonna sit here
and tell me that they've never gotten into a fight,
an argument with their mother or said "Shut up" to their mother
or something like that, come on, you're [bleep] me.
- (Ulises) I love you, and I want you to continue
doing what you're doing, because literally you are such
an amazing human being. - (Marlhy) Don't offend anybody.
Just like-- ah, but that's how she gets popular.
I don't even know what to say. - No. No.
I don't just sit around like, (banging table)
punch you and then money comes up. That's not really how it works.
I don't care about none of the other [bleep] y'all talk about,
just run me my plays, run me my money,
and we'll be good. (giggles)
- (FBE) So, as you know, we've covered you on our channel
with various generations reacting to you, from parents to kids
and now teens. - Um...
I think I've seen a little bit of the kids one.
Was that the one where the kid was like, "Is this Britney Spears?"
Okay, yeah. I've seen it. I loved that.
- (Jake) Is this Britney Spears? - That was hilarious.
It was probably my favorite reaction of all time.
- (FBE) And being a teen yourself, what's it like to see people
around your age react to you and the music video specifically?
- It's interesting. It's like, when you go into it,
you're like, "I don't know what I'm gonna get."
They might all just be like, "Oh, I love her,"
because those are the age group of my fans.
They have those friends that are like, "Oh,
we don't like Bhad Bhabie," so they're gonna wanna be
off that and then-- or their parents will make them
think certain things or you know, it's just a certain way
that they're raised. I expected it to be way more negative,
'cause that's usually how everything is
when I walk into it. But... this was pretty good.
- (FBE) So, the past few years have been pretty insane for you,
having experienced so much success at such a young age.
Can you talk a little bit about how you handle all the success
with the added day-to-day pressure of being a teen?
- Yeah, I'm really not living my teenage life. (laughs)
I've kind of given that up, but it's okay,
because I love what I do. I never liked
school activities anyway. I used to be fighting
at all the school activities, 'cause it's like, "Okay,
this is our chance where there's not a lot of teachers around,
and I could dog walk you, bitch. So, come on. Let's go."
- (FBE) Having become so successful so quickly, could you have ever
predicted all this for yourself? - No.
When I was on that show, I had-- August 17th was the next day.
That was the day school was supposed to start.
I was planning on going home and going to school.
I didn't see no technology, no nothing.
It was me and my [bleep] horse. I was waking up, brushing this horse,
feeding this horse. That was my life.
And then, when I got home, my mom gave me my phone,
'cause I was just in my room, like, okay, I cleaned it.
I dirtied it, cleaned it again. What do I do now? (chuckles)
And then she's like, "All right, I'll give you your phone."
So then, I go on the Explore page and it's just the meme was there,
and I was just like, "All right." And then just all this stuff came,
just started happening and then I got calls
from people who wanted to manage me and stuff, then I called my manager,
and then everything just really went crazy from there.
- (FBE) So finally, we always like to give you a chance to respond
directly to the reactors that you saw today.
What is something they or the public might not understand about you?
- Okay, so I've already addressed this one,
but for everyone who may not like me because of my "disrespect"
or anything like that, please don't speak on my situation,
because you really don't understand. And just the same way
that I would never speak on you and your mother or you
and your father, even you and your siblings,
or you and whoever lives in your household,
because I've never been in there, and I don't know
what they treat you like, and I don't know what goes on
for you at home. For all the good reactions,
I love you all and thank you for having a great opinion
about me. Thank you for being honest.
Bye, guys! Thank you so much for watching.
Make sure you go check out my new music video
and my new song, "Bestie." If y'all want a new season
of "Bringing Up Bhabie," make sure that y'all hit up Snapchat
and tell them to hand me more [bleep] money
or I ain't doin' [bleep]. And also, I'm gonna be on tour
with Ybn Nahmir in the next couple of weeks.
So, if I'm in your city, make sure you come see me. Bye!
