Bhad Bhabie, whose birth name is Danielle Bregoli, was once famous as the “Cash Me Ousside” teen of Dr. Phil, and is again in the news headlines, but not for the reason she may have desired. On October 20, 2025, she released a promo clip of her with Ian on his next album that generated millions of views on X within one day.
The rapper tweeted: “Me an Ian dropping. He got me in the album 💜”, previewing for fans what she’s offering next. But while that drop itself generated buzz, what fans on the internet quickly fixated on was how drastically different she looks now.
From Phil’s Stage to “Who Is That Girl?”
In its promotional video, Bhad Bhabie introduced a new look that involved extreme makeup such as lip fillers, a Brazilian butt lift, breast implants, as well as tattoos. Instead of being celebrated, she was greeted with outrage when individuals criticized her for “cosplaying” black women as well as embracing images that are not part of her own cultural background.
It is not the first time she is being criticized for cultural appropriation, but this time reactions were louder, fiercer, and viciously meme-able.
Twitter Transformed Into Roast Battle
The internet did what it does best: it made outrage go viral with commentary. Some of the tweets blasted her appearance with comparisons, while others criticized the irony of past comments she made.
- “If Kim Kardashian began rappin’ it would be that.”
- “As a white person myself… she is as white as she is going to be. faking that you are not white only serves to add emphasis that you are indeed highly white and only white.”
- She don’t even look white no more lol.
- “Dr. Phil needs to be in jail for this.”
- “B***h moved from trailer park white girl to cosplay as a Kehlani replica.
- “I can never help but think that time when she was going on so much about Kylie for having hers worked on lips/body and look at her now ????.”
Others offered a half-hearted compliment to her ability: “If she would stfu and just rap, she would be str8 because her music always be tea… it’s just…. everything else.”
Construction on Drama, Powered by Surgery
Since appearing as a guest on Dr. Phil in 2016, Bhad Bhabie’s career has been one reinvention and scandal after another. At 23, she is already a millionaire from OnlyFans and brand endorsements, while consistently fighting off the narrative that she’s all hype with no substance.
She’s also open about her cosmetic surgeries. In 2025, while fighting cancer, Bregoli publicly acknowledged that she had gotten rhinoplasty along with other surgeries. To those people, openness makes the criticism softer. To other people, it highlights a pattern of contradictions when used in conjunction with her history of mocking other females for getting such surgeries.
