Jasmin Addresses People’s Concerns
On Thursday, July 31, Jasmin Brown got real on her Instagram Stories, addressing the wild comments about her unborn baby girl’s appearance. “People are so obsessed with their skin color and their hair texture,” she said, visibly over it.
“From the moment people found out I had a girl, they’re like, ‘Does she have hair?’ I’m like, ‘No, not really. She was bald-headed. She had two lil’ pieces in the front.’ And they’re like, ‘Oh, she’s going to have a lot of hair.’ And it’s, like, okay?”

Jasmin didn’t hold back, spilling how folks kept pressing her about whether her daughter would have her mommy’s or daddy’s hair texture. “What’s her complexion? Why are y’all so freaking critical of little Black girls? It’s disgusting. She’s a baby,” she snapped. She shook her head at the camera, clearly fed up with the questions about a baby, adding, “What is wrong with y’all?”
