Mille Bobby Brown, 14, rapping 'profane' Cardi B lyrics onstage called 'unnerving'
Millie Bobby Brown proved once again that she’s got some major rap skills. The Stranger Things star surprised fans in Nashville with a stellar rendition of Cardi B’s verses in “Girls Like You” with Maroon 5.
Adam Levine introduced the 14-year-old actress during the band’s show at the Bridgestone Arena, much to everyone’s delight. Brown flawlessly made her way through the rap verses, with a video of Cardi B in the background. She shared video of the collab on Instagram, writing, “sooooo 2nite was insane!!!”
soooo 2nite was insane!!! i love @maroon5 and my dear friend @adamlevine 🔥🔥🔥

However, there were a few critics who can’t seem to get over the fact that Brown is a young teenager — a teenager who’s acting a lot like an adult these days. Brown caused a huge stir recently when she revealed her close friendship with 31-year-old rapper Drake.
Those same critics are raising their eyebrows at the 14-year-old rapping Cardi B’s mature lyrics.
Am I the only one who finds it’s unnerving to hear a 14 yo child rap “I play with my kitty like you play with your guitar” ? Like, girl, where’s your parents? Go wash that mouth! 😆
