‘Bro! Ya Face Tho!’: Fans Call Out Mendeecees For Not Looking Too Thrilled About New Family YouTube Channel with Yandy Smith

Mendeecees Harris and Yandy Smith-Harris recently made a big family announcement, but fans picked up on the fact that one was clearly more excited about the news than the other.

Harris and Smith, who have been married since 2015, shared news that their family is taking their talents to YouTube. Joined by their seven-year-old son Omere and 5-year-old-daughter Skylar, the couple revealed the news with different levels of enthusiasm, however. “During this quarantine, we decided that we wanted to start our family YouTube channel!” excitedly announced Smith.

Mendeecees, who was pretty straight-faced throughout, then explained that they’re looking for an intro for their new online family channel, and the family proceeded to break down the rules in their first post. “So I have a friend that’s a Grammy-nominated producer, and he gave us two beats and we need an intro,” he said. “So we figure let’s put the beats out there and whoever kill the beat, then they’d be featured on our intro.”

Fans are looking forward to their channel, but noticed that Mendeecees looked like he still wasn’t completely onboard with his decision to participate, and jokingly gave him a hard time on his page.

“It doesn’t look like a “we” decision lol 🤦🏽‍♀️😂😂😂,” laughed one fan.

“Nah your facial expression and body language got cryin 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s sayin “Yea ok I said xyz yall said abc lmao #Shittinme 🧐😅😐, ” another wrote.

“Mendeecee’s face😂😂😂,” a third observed.

“😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yooo face said so many things without saying anything Lmao,” cracked a fourth.

“Bro!! Ya face tho😂😂 ,” a fifth called out.

Mendeecees was released from prison in January after serving four years behind bars for drug trafficking. Since his return, the father of four has been spending a lot of time with Yandy and his kids.

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.
