‘Eat Up Queen’: Quad Webb Stuns Fans After She Reveals Her Weight

Believe it or not: Quad Webb recently revealed her weight in her latest Instagram post. While weight can be a touchy subject for most people, Webb-Lunceford seems to have no shame in her game. The reality star of “Married to Medicineposted a video on Wednesday, May 6 that showed her frying up two pieces of hot chicken. In her caption, she shared that her Southern dish was so delicious that she was willing to indulge in all two leg quarters.

Webb, a native of Memphis, expressed that she was craving chicken from Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack. The restaurant, which is known for its ultra-hot chicken, is located in Nashville, Tennessee. Since the former “Sister Circle” talk show host was unable to travel to her home state, she decided to whip up her own. Standing at 5 feet, 4 inches, Webb explained that she weighs 125 pounds; implying that her figure wouldn’t suffer from her deep-fried cooking.

In her clip she said, “Alright, Nashville hot chicken baby! Oh yeah, leg quarters today baby!” She moved the camera toward a pan filled with sauce. Then she stated, “and this is the sauce.”

Fans admitted that her Southern meal looked tasty, but most people appeared to be drawn to her weight.

“You’d be fine at 325. It’s not the weight, it’s the person. 💛”

“You know people skinny when they post their weight!!!! 😝😝😝😝😝.”

“Lordt 125 😩😩😩Jesus be a fence for me lol.”

“Girl 125?😳 Eat your chicken and put some meat on them bones!😂.”

“Well Quad 125 you can eat that whole platter of chicken.”

“Ok I need to drop 10 pounds to be at your weight.”

“125 and fine @absolutelyquad 😍😍.”

“Eat up Queen we only live once it is what it is big thighs or no thighs lml👊🏾.”

The author of “Cooking with Miss Quad: Live, Laugh, Love, and Eat” also explained in her caption that she does not typically eat fried foods. She shared in a 2019 interview with Upscale Magazine that she prefers to prepare meals with spices and herbs instead of salt. “The biggest thing for me when I cook is thinking of flavor,” she said. “It’s being able to marry the best herbs and sauces and spices together to really give you a nice explosion when you’re biting into that meal,” she explained.

Webb may be documenting her cooking on social media more often since her Atlanta-based talk show just ended its nearly three-season run on Friday, April 24.

Still independent.

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.
