Yung Miami is tired of people complaining about her BET Hip Hop Awards win for "Caresha Please."

Yung Miami has responded to Charlamagne's criticism of the BET Hip Hop Awards for honoring Caresha Please in the Best Hip-Hop Platform category. It's her second year in a row taking home the award. Charlamagne complained about the decision on his own nominated show, The Breakfast Club, the next morning. Other nominees in the category included Drink ChampsMillion Dollaz Worth of Game, and The Joe Budden Podcast.

“We gotta stop. Salute to Caresha. I love Yung Miami to death, but come on now. Two years in a row?” Charlamagne said. “I got mad love for Caresha but you’ve got platforms that come out daily, and you’ve got platforms that come out weekly.” In response to the complaint making it to The Neighborhood Talk's Instagram page, Miami wrote back: “YALL LEAVE ME TF ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
