Yung Miami got a surprise FaceTime from Rihanna during Jason Lee’s video
Yung Miami also got to chat with Rihanna herself. Around the 11-minute mark of Lee’s vlog, which saw him and the “Diamonds” hitmaker shopping at a Bristol Farms in West Hollywood, the media mogul FaceTimed the RAW artist before eventually handing the phone to RiRi.
“Not you mid-melt. Not you mid-melt, b**ch!” Rihanna hilariously told Yung Miami. The mother of three then mentioned the “little old lady” who was jamming to “Spend Dat” with them in the parking lot. “She’s two doors down. Look, she’s right there right now,” the Grammy-winning musician continued, followed by her telling Lee to “turn that s**t back on!”
“Spend Dat” gives Yung Miami her first solo No. 1 on radio
Yung Miami’s success with “Spend Dat” on the charts has been a long time coming. For the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated July 11, 2026, the single rose from No. 25 to No. 19. It also reached No. 1 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart, marking her first No. 1 on the format as a solo artist.
“Spend Dat” is undoubtedly one of the strongest contenders for song of the summer. At the 2026 BET Awards, when she presented the BET Her Award, the crowd went crazy while singing the chorus bar for bar. Now, all that’s left is the remix.
On the award show’s red carpet, Complex asked Yung Miami who she’d want to hop on the record. “You gotta stay tuned for that, but I really want Drake,” she answered. “Champagne Papi. You know we gotta call Drake. Iceman. I want Iceman!”
