- The song "Spend Dat" recently charted at No. 25.

R&B and soul musician India Arie has publicly criticized Miami's trending song, "Spend Dat." The four-time Grammy Award winner co-signed a social media post that advocated for a boycott of the track, stating, "I believe it's degrading to our culture." Arie further commented that music significantly influences perception and values, urging listeners to "make wise choices."
Despite the criticism, "Spend Dat" has seen considerable success since its release in April, peaking at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. This marks Miami's highest-charting solo track since 2021. Producer J. White, known for his work on the song, posted a video of himself listening to a mash-up of "Spend Dat" with another song, humorously captioned "Remix??", showing a lighthearted reaction to the ongoing discourse.
