With their throwaway musings on interracial relationships, sex stigmas, desire, race, gender roles, and the stifling chasteness of mainstream society, the hosts have enlivened social media, often unintentionally.ĭespite digital and physical proof of their successes via zealous fan engagement and brick-and-mortar studios with their names overhead, their media and industry adulation hasn’t reached the crescendo enjoyed by one of their counterpart podcasts, Call Her Daddy. That framework - combining risque observations with humor and honesty - is not far removed from Whoreible Decisions. Their victory was as significant for creative liberties as it would later be for a confessional generation eager to indulge in all manners of disclosure. When 2 Live told us they were horny in 1991, their lustful declarations raised eyebrows and ire all the way to the Supreme Court. As hosts, Weezy and Mandii have dealt with a similar kind of puritanical reflex. But in terms of censorship, they’re more like 2 Live Crew.
When it comes to content, you could call these two Florida natives the Trinas of the podcasting world. “I’m mid-bite into a burger, and asked me about threesome advice,” Weezy shares on a recent episode. Across its social media platforms, the brand has amassed over 300,000 dedicated followers who regularly seek relationship advice and often recognize the ladies in the streets, leading to comical interactions. On the fan-led site Patreon, Whoreible Decisions is the third most popular adult podcast.
Blige, Jazmine Sullivan, and Summer Walker. In June, they made their debut festival appearance at the Roots Picnic, sharing the stage with Mary J. Along the way, they’ve recalibrated how people discuss intimacy while simultaneously placing the needs of Black queer femmes at the forefront of every discussion about pleasure, power, and bodily autonomy. Over the past decade, Weezy and Mandii B have built a sizeable online platform by “shaming themselves” and sharing all the “whoreish” details of their sex lives. As for Twitter, Weezy insists, “I don’t really care about getting back on Twitter, and I didn’t even try.” She only retrieved her account after shock jock turned pundit-entrepreneur Charlamagne Tha God lobbied on her behalf and reached someone behind the platform’s opaque curtain. “I shamed myself and got suspended.” On Instagram, she’s been suspended at least five times for using the word “bitch.” The most recent ousting was last fall. The reason is predictably unexpected - “I called myself a ho in third person,” Weezy explains over a Zoom call with her co-host, Mandii B. This past June, Gila Shlomi, aka Weezy, one-half of the podcast Whoreible Decisions, was suspended from Twitter for the first time.
