#Babywhatisyoudoooooin???
Don’t let Stefon’s baby momma drama distract you from the Serena Williams GLP-1 Ad.
I’ll be so real, I started writing about this weeks ago but LIFE GOT BUSY! I will of course update you on ‘life’ in a separate post but this one, I wanna get this out there because… well it’s still on my mind.
Sunday 8th Feb, The Superbowl. I didn’t pay any attention to it because – life. But all over my timeline was naturally the performance by Bad Bunny, and rightly so, coupled with commentary surrounding the relationship of rapper Cardi B and NFL player Stefon Diggs. Again – rightly so cause #Babywhatisyoudoooooin???
Anyway in between alla that, I was having my daily scroll on the timeline and I saw an advert that was aired at the Superbowl of Serena Williams injecting up herself with di weight loss tings.
In the words of L.A Cartier “HAS EVERYBODY LOST IT?!”
Serena Williams, one of the greatest athletes of all time, is promoting weight loss injections.
In the advert she says she is 34 pounds down, in a year, on GLP-1. That she’s ‘healthier on Ro’. She said her joint stress is reduced, her blood sugar is steady and she literally pops the ting into her arm.
I know times have changed, there’s Ai now and Grok and Chat GPT and Ring doorbells, all these things that are like ‘they never had this back in my day’, but what happened to just eating well? Exercising? Getting your ten hours a day sleep?! Or just simply accepting that your body is going to change after babies and stress and life and age and just goddamn reality. OR what happened to just accepting that you’re a GOOOODAZZZZ, GOOD BODY GYAL AND GOOD BODY GYAL FI GET TINGZ?!
Personally, I gave up the fight, I exercise bares, I eat healthy, I sleep (bares) and I still can’t lose my tummy. I know it’s the (alcohol) PCOS, and it is what it is. But in 2026 I promise you, I’m NAHT gonna start jookin up myself to get rid of it, isssa a maddddddnessssssss broooooooo.
My instant thought was, if an athlete - who has trained her body to do things most of us couldn’t even dream of being able to do – is taking the wickedest shortcut in this way, WHAT THE HELL ARE THE REST OF US SUPPOSED TO DO?!
I’m steaming that she advertised this, cause at first I didn’t even think she done it for the cheque, dem man are worth billions pon billions. I thought she actually done this ad because she has used GLP-1 to lose weight, she is happy with her results, and she wants everyone to know about it.
BUT FAM, it turns out her husband is an investor in the company, so she’s doing #supportivebae. and I hear her, but my message to anyone who saw it and thought about doing it is please please, be MINDFUL.
Remember when we were all being marketed ‘Oat milk’ as a dairy milk alternative, then ‘they’ had to go back and tell us that while there was no dairy in it, it is highly processed and spikes your blood sugar and a bagga other stuff that wasn’t great for us either? Ye that.
Let me tell you what the advert didn’t. Those injections will make you slim yes, but they can mess with your stomach, appetite, hormones, and mental health in the process. It isn’t a sensible long-term lifestyle replacement in my opinion. It’s oat milk. Sure it’s a temporary fix, but long term, SUGAR AH GUH SPIKE DARLIN.
& Serena (cause I know you read my blog lmfao) You’re gonna do what you’re doing, you’ve come too far to tek chat from Sian Anderson, & I get that… but did it need to be an advert?
Maybe after all this legacy she still doesn’t understand who she is, that she’s THAT GURL. BEEN that girl. But then again she allegedly dated Drake so I guess there’s a pattern here of bad decisions.
I’m ranting because I find it so irresponsible, cause what they’re saying is “If Serena can’t do it naturally, you definitely can’t”
FUCKOFBROOOOO
JUSTFUCKOFFFFFFFFFF
FORGETTTTABOUTTTITSWEETHEARTTTT
And before anyone starts chatting shit, I understand that people with diabetes or genuine medical conditions need GLP-1 medication. That’s not controversial and not up for debate. But the advert wasn’t about medical conditions or medical use, was it.
And while the internet was busy doing what it does best (debating Cardi vs Men-who-don’t-know-peace) Serena was placed in an advert, during a family event, Broadcast worldwide, helping to make weight-loss injections look cute.
Big 2026 and these company CEO’s and their famous spouses are promoting woman’s bodies, Black women’s bodies, to sell us insecurity.
I’m tired man.
Pass me a cheesy Beef Patty.
