Dating Show Under Fire for Featuring 10-Year-Old Rapper Lil RT

The “20 Woman vs 1 Rapper” dating show, known for its humorous and often awkward interactions, has recently come under fire after featuring 10-year-old rapper Lil RT. This particular episode, uploaded to YouTube a few weeks ago, has drawn significant backlash from viewers who argue that involving children in such a format is inappropriate.

Lil RT, born on June 3, 2014, in Atlanta, Georgia, became well-known with his viral track “60 Miles.” Despite his success, his young age has led to criticism about the nature of his music and the pressures of his career. The recent episode of “20 Girls vs 1 Rapper” which had him participating in a dating scenario with other children, has intensified these concerns.

The episode’s content quickly attracted negative attention, with many viewers expressing discomfort and disapproval on social media. Critics have labeled the show’s concept as unsuitable for children, arguing that it places them in an environment that could be harmful.

Poetik Flakko, a YouTuber known for his opinions on hip-hop, publicly criticized the show. In his video, Flakko questioned the decision to include Lil RT in such a scenario and condemned the show’s host, Mikeadelabu, for what he described as inappropriate questioning and a lack of sensitivity. “YouTube needs to shut down ’20 vs 1′ after this recent episode with Lil RT,” Flakko said.

In his video, Flakko suggested that the mindset behind creating such content is problematic and compared it to the influence of notorious figures like Jeffrey Epstein, implying a disturbing level of inappropriateness.

Flakko noted that during the show, the host asked Lil RT and the other children questions that were entirely unsuitable for their age group. He pointed out an interaction where the host asked Lil RT about his preference for having two girlfriends, a question Flakko deemed shockingly inappropriate for a 10-year-old. “Are you asking a 10-year-old if he’s into polygamy? Be for real here, man,” Flakko exclaimed, emphasizing the absurdity and inappropriateness of the question.

Another instance Flakko criticized involved the host trying to pressure an 8-year-old girl into admitting she would date Lil RT, despite her apparent lack of understanding of what dating entails. Flakko argued that children of that age are more concerned with activities like watching cartoons and playing, not being involved in romantic scenarios.

The YouTuber also called out the parents of the children involved, questioning their judgment in allowing their kids to participate in such a show. He suggested that parents should protect their children’s well-being and self-esteem rather than subject them to situations where they are objectified and rated.

One particular moment Flakko highlighted was when a girl, who seemed to be around 12 or 13, wore a shirt with Lil RT’s name and recited a line from one of his songs with a suggestive undertone. Flakko found this especially troubling, as it suggested a level of sexualization that is entirely inappropriate for children.

The reaction from Flakko and the public has been quick and mostly negative. Social media and the YouTube comments for the episode are full of people worried about the idea of putting kids on dating shows. Many viewers feel the concept goes too far and is exploitative.

As the backlash continues, it remains unclear how the show’s creators will address the concerns raised by the viewers. The situation shows ongoing debates about the role of children in entertainment and the responsibilities of those who create and participate in such content.
