Model Who Accused Future of Banning Plus-Sized Women from Club Changes Her Statement After He Responds

Posted byBy Daryl Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Future responded to a rumor that he didn’t want larger sized women in a club that he performed in.

Plus-sized model Naomi Chaput recorded a video and said she was turned away from a Miami club due to her size.

Future responded after a rumor spread that he banned larger sized women from a Miami club.

“So just got news that this is true,” she said. “That Future said no fatties in the club,  and that he has all rights to do so in Miami at this club. I’m just trying to understand, really, why this is like a thing? Why is he allowed to put those rules in place? The discrimination is insane to me.”

“It’s not that I want to see Future personally, because I don’t give a damn about no f–king rappers,” Chaput added. “But the fact that it’s a thing in 2019 where we can say ‘no fatties in the club.’ This is crazy. This is insane.”

And after that post, on Instagram Stories she wrote: “And all the other rappers and club owners who function this way, how insecure, disgusting and fat phobic do you have to be to just deny all plus size girls from going to the f—ing club?”

Before Future got a chance to defend himself, he was slammed on social media.

“If that is true of what Future said I will boycott all of his music out of my playlist,” one person threatened on Friday.

“Future so wack if it’s true. He said No Fatties in the club,” wrote another.

On Friday the Freebandz leader responded to the rumor and said it was totally false. “Stop cappin on my name,” he tweeted. “I love all women.”

Then on that same day, Chaput revealed that a promoter actually told her friend that no larger sized women were allowed in the club, not Future himself and she didn’t know if the rule came from the rapper or not.

“Although he didn’t reject me, the promoter told my friend no big girls are allowed,” she wrote. “I didn’t even bother going to find out. It was Future’s event. How’d you think the club decided to apply the no fatties rule only for that special occasion/event?”

Someone then asked how Chaput knew the promoter was being honest if she didn’t investigate further.

“It’s the promoter for the club,” she tweeted back. “Someone who represents the club.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
