A video featuring a little girl on a mic having a dance party with her friends has gone viral.
The X user who shared the video said in a caption:
“if the party ain’t lit like this don’t invite me.”
The song in question is Drake, SZA and Sexyy Red’s “Rich Baby Daddy” and if you have heard the lyrics you would probably deem the song inappropriate for a child.
Sexyy Red reposted the video with the caption “awwwwwww” indicating that she thought it was cute.

Another said:
whoever saying this is cute needs to get their tubes tied, please do not reproduce. y’all have no idea the impact this has on their future
and
Y’all stop defending this crap in the comments. It’s not cute, whether they block out words or not. This is not acceptable for our young children. Raise them to be better than you, not the same as you.

The debate surrounding children listening and enjoying music encompasses the tension between entertainment, cultural exposure, and the need to shield young minds from inappropriate content.
While some parents advocate for allowing kids to explore musical genres for potential benefits, others emphasize the importance of safeguarding children from explicit material.
Ultimately, a balanced approach that involves parental guidance, open communication, and age-appropriate selection of music can help address these concerns while allowing children to enjoy music responsibly.
It’s that simple! What is your opinion?
