Nick Cannon sparked a fierce discussion on social media when he highlighted a clip from his show “We Playin Spades” in which he openly talked to Courtney Bee about the attraction of plus-size women. The promo for the show on YouTube displays the group considering the term “plus size” in terms of fashion sizes and vocally and boldly sharing their views on the attractiveness of big women. Cannon’s post, “Ain’t nobody scared of the fupa Courtney!!!🤣The ‘what’s considered plus size?’ convo got us talking! What y’all think?” very much refers to the humorous and even obnoxious dialogue directly.

The transcript of the video chat indicates that the exchange was very much a straight and free talk. Courtney Bee then moves on to exhibit her boldness by proclaiming, “big girls got the best pussy in the world,” to which Cannon replies, “I would say that plus-size women are the most beautiful women ever.” The debate then quickly becomes more technical as each participant tries to identify the exact dress size defining a woman as “plus-size” and ultimately they come up with a consensus that size 14 is the upper limit for this category. The conversation is rich not only in laughter but also in personal stories, including Cannon’s confession that he has never bought jeans for a woman which contributes to the relaxed, intimate vibe of the show.
The online reactions were immediate and varied, as many users weighed in on the topics of body size, attraction, and health. One such user who backed the show to the hilt wrote, “My buddy only dates bbw’s, that’s his type. And he told me the same thing as she said ❤️He says u need to be 2 somethin to do somethin😭😭❤️u see him with a smaller shorty it’s a citizens arrest.” This viewpoint can be interpreted as a clear and unequivocal preference for the larger body type, suggesting that it is the reality for some men.
On the flip side, there was a user whose criticism was very explicit but at the same time very truthful. The user stated, “No lie, big chicks do have the best vajayejay in the world but I just don’t feel like eating it. It tastes like their bad diet…it be wet though🤷🏾♂️. Lol.” This statement, which was accompanied by humorous emojis in subsequent replies, was also rather vulgar and associated size with personal hygiene and diet in such a way that it managed to both divide and amuse the audience.
Health and society’s standards that come with it had their backers in quite a few comments. One user tried to argue against “glorifying” the larger body sizes and remarked, “Man all that shit cool until you unhealthy can’t walk a mile or do stuff with your kids because of the weight it’s just being lazy if you ask me for a male and female funny how all of the accessories are take care of but not the body smh so people we gotta stop hyping this shit up on our community it’s not right to many health issues come with it.” This comment made the argument not only about physical appeal but also about health and responsibility, thus exposing the tension that is frequently present in body positivity discussions.
Body image discussions were not the only subject matter of the discourse. Several users were also attracted by the show’s chemistry and the lifestyle of Cannon. One user mentioned, “Joseph is a fly on the wall!!!! Taking it all in!” speaking of Cannon’s co-star, while another claimed, “Nick has too many children to be afraid of the fupa, trust he has taken a couple of BBWs down if I have I know he has.” These comments reestablished the on-screen conflict to Cannon’s private life and to his public persona.
The conversation even got to the extent of personal change when the participant asked, “So when you get on ozempic or anthem the gym and lose it all should we not find you attractive anymore?🤔😆” This query of physical attractiveness has been a persistent concern, and immediately it boils down to whether it is linked to the specific body size or it is more about the person than the body. One of the commenters opened up about his weight loss journey in detail and expressed his realization that the saying “cushion for the pushin” fits larger women more.

Nick Cannon is notably a controversial public figure and a father of twelve who usually do not shy away from discussing openly on his platforms even the most contentious subjects. He often gives wild dating advice, and the recent ‘We Playin Spades’ clip is consistent with this pattern as it sheds light on the public discourse that usually takes place only behind closed doors. By bringing to the fore the particular subject of body size and attraction, the unfiltered table talk has been nothing but powerful. In another panel discussion, the conversation turned to what people truly offer in relationships. The range of reactions shows that although preferences vary, Cannon continues to joke and engage with various topics across his media appearances. He recently declared that weekends are flying by too speedy, a sentiment many can relate to. He also promises his Wild ‘N Out episode with Lil Tjay is absolute fire, showcasing his ongoing work and collaborations.
