After posing for the Calvin Klein #MY CALVINS campaign in Spring 2019, Chika was lauded for participating, but all that love felt disingenuous. It seemed all anyone could focus on was her size, and Chika spoke out about not wanting to be known as a "fat rapper," but just a rapper.
"I kept on being called fatphobic for telling publications you don't need to label me a fat rapper," she told Vice. "It's redundant and rude. You wouldn't go up to someone and be like, you're a fat lawyer, or a fat doctor, so why is that acceptable if you're a musician? I feel like I shouldn't have to talk so much about my outer shell; it's just so unnecessary and really weird."
