Raven-Symon and friends recently showed off their dance moves to Yung Miami’s hit song, ‘Spend Dat.’ Instantly, fans were living for the carefree moment of Rae catching a vibe at the hair salon! After The Shade Room reposted the video, the roommates started chattin’ about Rae’s energy with her own kinfolk and without her wife, Miranda Maday, glued to her side.
If you ask the internet, Yung Miami is likely in the running for the unofficial title of ‘Song of the Summer.’Her recently released track, ‘Spend Dat,’ has people in a chokehold, from running it back to randomly spewing the lyrics and participating in online dance trends. One of the latest celebrity faces to show ‘Spend Dat’ some love is Raven-Symon. Thanks to her loctician, Jasmin Thomas, who posted the video, fans got to see Rae bust a move alongside four others. In the clip, Raven is seen laughing and smiling as she goes along with the group choreography and adds her own sauce, too.
As mentioned, TSR reshared the video of Raven-Symon getting down at the salon on Wednesday (June 9). Soon after posting, her fans quickly filled the comment section with over 700 written reactions and liked the video nearly 25,000 times.
While some reminisced about seeing Raven dance, like during old Disney days, others claimed she was showing off her “Black side.” To be clear, according to PEOPLE, Raven-Symon was born to two Black parents, Lydia Gaulden and her late father Christopher B. Pearman. Her dad passed away in October 2024, less than a year after her brother died from colon cancer in November 2023. She is not mixed or biracial. Again, Raven-Symon is Black American with family roots in Georgia and Louisiana. Full stop. Nonetheless, the roommates were cuttin’ up with comments about her “Black side” and spending time with other Black people.

Another popular sentiment in the comment section on TSR’s page? Mentions of Miranda Maday. In recent years, Raven-Symon’s fans have been rubbed the wrong way by comments from Miranda, including seemingly not being familiar with her wife’s extensive resume.
Back in 2024, they both attempted to correct online narratives about Miranda, particularly after hate messages allegedly escalated to death threats. In a TikTok video, Raven-Symon asked her supporters to “stop it in the comments…stop with the death threats,” as it’s disrespectful to them both. Miranda also defended herself, clarifying that she was, at the time, familiar with her wife’s work in TV and film, but not as a child.
“I hope to clear the air right now and let you all know that I never have once said that I did not know who Raven was. I only ever said that I did not grow up watching ‘Thats So Raven.’ I did not watch her as a child,” Miranda Maday said. Adding, “But since getting married and meeting her in 2015, I have seen the majority of her work. I have also been at a lot of this work.”
Despite clearing up where she stands, it appears that Miranda left a sour taste for some supporters. And whenever Rae goes viral, Maday tends to catches stray shadewhether she’s the reason her wife is viral or not. In TSR’s comment section of the ‘Spend Dat’ dancing video, the energy was no different.
“Its leaving my porcelain wife at home because Im in the streets doing black people sh*t ,” @tootuftinc_ said.
“I wish she had a Black wife lmao Ikkkk that sound crazy but I feel like she need that in her life idkkk maybe a fly Asian lady ,” @theralaliesegoods commented.
“I noticed whenever she’s dancing itss never with her wife and the white friends ,” @skorpion.queen added.
“Jus happy she didnt put her wife in the dance lol ,” @lianaaa.adele commented.
