Transcript
So today we have another game and our game today is if you need it, you're not a baddie. The term baddie has gotten used way too loosely today. Every woman thinks that they can just be a self proclaimed bad. And unfortunately for them, that's not the case. So number five, a BBL. If you have a BBL, you're automatically disqualified from being a baddie. That shit looks disgusting. It ain't good. Number four, lip injections. Out here looking like a motherfucking fish. No guy gives a fuck about your like, if your lips are huge. Never ever have I heard a guy say, wow, you know, she's really cute. But if her lips were Kylie Jenner challenge huge, she'd be way hotter. No guy ever said that. Number three, lash extensions. You got bird wings coming off your eyes. That shit is not cute. You no that for other women. Half the time, we think that shit looks ridiculous. So you're not that shit doesn't make you a fucking baddie. Alright? Number two, long ass nails. Can't even operate through daily life with fucking Wolverine claws coming out your fingers. And last but not least, number one, plastic surgery changing your whole face. If you bad the plastic surgery your whole face to become a bad, you ain't a bad, honey. The real baddies are naturally beautiful. Not this fucking plastic I've seen some women that they they don't even look like the same human being. And all you're doing is catfishing some dude for his kids to be ugly someday. Because you used to be ugly. So thanks for coming to my Tier Talk today. If you got any of the five of these, you ain't a motherfucking bad. Alright? And I'll see you at the same time again tomorrow.
