Bebe Rexha confessed her worries the day before the VMAs.

Bebe Rexa, known for her hit songs “I Got You” and “I’m Good (Blue),” attended the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) held on September 12 (local time). Bebe posed proudly on the red carpet and wore a cute smile, but the day before the event, she told us that she might miss the event due to “insecurity” and “self-doubt” caused by the criticism of her body shape on TikTok. The day before the event, however, she had said on TikTok that she might miss the event due to “insecurity” and “self-doubt” caused by body criticism.

Bebe said that she was grateful to be invited to the awards ceremony, but she also revealed her own struggles, saying, “I’m just insecure.

I want to start by saying that I am very grateful and blessed to be invited to these award ceremonies and to be able to do what I love to do. （I’m very grateful and blessed to be invited to receive these awards and to be able to do what I love to do. But I’m only human, so sometimes it bothers me.

I wanted to talk about this because I meet a lot of people and a lot of them say, ‘I love how body-positive* and confident you are. So I’ll tell you. Right now, I’m not that confident in myself. The thought of going to a red carpet and having people talking about my weight fills me with anxiety and stress. Because I don’t love myself right now. I don’t feel like I’m a ‘cool girl’ like I usually do.”

*The movement tries to help each person have a positive body image of themselves.

I don’t know if I’m going to the VMAs tomorrow. I have clothes to wear. I’m cute. I want to wear a dress, and I really want to go to celebrate my nomination and my friend’s nomination, but I feel like my anxiety will win out.”

Bebe continued, explaining that she wanted to share this message because “everyone has days like this and no one feels (they) are perfect,” and asked fans for “motivational tips and tricks. Fans responded immediately to this request. The comments section of the video was flooded with advice and words of encouragement from fans.

Incidentally, at the end of the video, Bebe said, “Maybe you will see me on the red carpet tomorrow,” and true to her word, she showed up on the VMA red carpet, partly because her fans pushed her to do so.
