Sir-Mix-a-Lot Speaks Out On Blake Lively’s Instagram Caption Controversy We recently reported that actress Blake Lively was still slaying red carpets throughout her latest pregnancy with husband Ryan Reynolds . But a recent post of her prego-style has gotten some social media users calling her a racist and cultural appropriator. The star decided to post up some of the extra curvature that her most recent gut full has given her — with a cheeky caption: As most people born before 1995 know, those are lyrics to Sir Mix-A-Lot’s classic ode to booty, “Baby Got Back.” Seems harmless enough, but nothing in the world of the internet is ever what it seems. Some social media users called Blake out for using the black female form as a punchline , or cultural appropriation of hip-hop slang when she knows nothing of Oakland: So, what does Sir-Mix-a-Lot think of all the controversy? According to Sentinel Land Enterprise : “If what Blake Lively meant by that comment was, ‘Oh my goodness, I’ve gained weight, I look horrible’ — and I doubt that she did — then I’m with the critics,” he said, “But no one in the world is gonna tell me that a woman that wears that dress is thinking that she’s fat. It sounds like to me like she was giving the line props.” Just for the record, she didn’t look anywhere close to horrible. “I think we have to be careful what we wish for as African Americans, because if you say she doesn’t have the right to say that, then how do you expect her at the same time to embrace your beauty?” said Mix-a-Lot. “I think it’s almost a nod of approval, and that was what I wanted. I wanted our idea of beautiful to be accepted.” Were YOU offended by Blake’s caption?

Do we detect a baby bump on Blake Lively? Something is there, because a recent photo of the actress has Us Weekly declaring that she is pregnant with baby number two . A photographer snapped a pic of Lively on the set of her upcoming film The Shallows , and her belly appeared to have expanded from its regular flat state. While it’s possible she just had a hearty lunch (we’ve all experienced the second trimester food baby, amiright?), she tried to conceal the protrusion by wrapping a robe around her midsection. Nevertheless, tongues are now a-wagging, and fans assume that Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds will be second-time parents sometime in the near future. The last time Lively was seen in public was with her husband at a state dinner at the White House in early March (pictured above). Looking stunning as always, she wore a robe-like gown with copious gathers and a voluminous bow at the waist – possibly concealing the beginnings of a bump? The sickeningly beautiful couple welcomed their first child in December 2014, a baby girl named James. Last year, Lively opened up about the joys of motherhood . “You never know when you’re gonna get crapped on or when you’re gonna get a big smile or when that smile immediately turns into hysterics,” she said. Nevertheless, she confirmed that she’s loving every minute of it. “I’d be an 80-year-old woman with a baby if I could,” she added. Food baby or real baby, we’ll just offer our congratulations now.
