Tony Yayo Says He Helped Popularize BBLs: ‘I Put That Sh*t on the Forefront’
Tony Yayo says the woman, Buffie the Body, who appeared in his "So Seductive" visual in 2005 was "the first girl" to "get her body done."
Tony Yayo wants his credit.
In a recent episode of The Danza Project, the former G-Unit member said he started the BBL movement. Host Uncle Murda gave props to DJ Kay Slay, calling him “the godfather” of shining a light on curvy body types with his Straight Stuntin' magazine.
“He damn near brought that to the game with them magazines,” Murda said, around the 24:55 minute mark.
Yayo chimed in: “It was to the point where the [music video] director, they put the Dominican joint—’cause you know [in] New York we got bad Dominicans, bad Puerto Ricans—but they would put them in the joint. … I’m like, ‘I might want some chocolate shit with the fatty in my shit!’”
