Torrey Craig and Megan Thee Stallion

It’s no surprise that in the age of unfiltered podcasting, some hosts forget they’re broadcasting to more than just their friend group. A resurfaced clip from the podcast 3 Girls 1 Kitchen stirred up controversy when Olivia Davis, a white woman and ex-girlfriend of NBA player Torrey Craig, implied that he isn’t attracted to Megan Thee Stallion because she doesn’t fit his “type”—a type she hinted leans heavily toward white women, particularly those who look like her.

This latest incident has reignited conversations around subtle racism in podcasting spaces. When Davis suggested Megan Thee Stallion isn’t Craig’s type because she isn’t white, the statement carried more weight than a simple preference. It revealed a passive-aggressive undertone that’s all too familiar and far too tolerated in podcasting circles dominated by white voices.

Let’s sit with this: on the surface, “not his type” seems innocuous. But when race becomes the defining factor in attraction, it veers dangerously close to outright discrimination. This isn’t the first time such microaggressions have been casually flung into the public domain, masked as harmless personal tastes. The underlying racism in these comments often flies under the radar, disguised as subjective opinion but carrying the sting of exclusion.

Megan Thee Stallion, a powerhouse in music and beyond, finds herself the subject of this thinly veiled insult—a reflection of the persistent narrative that Black women must meet a specific, often unattainable, standard to be deemed desirable. These types of statements reinforce harmful stereotypes and highlight the unchecked biases that still plague many social spaces, especially online.

This isn’t an isolated incident either. Since going public with her relationship, Megan’s partner has faced several controversies. His string of public missteps and revealing comments suggests a pattern that paints him as a walking red flag. The question is: are these gaffes the result of ignorance, or do they point to deeper, more concerning attitudes?

Podcasts have become hubs for unchecked bias, where hosts often mistake the echo chambers of their friend groups for the broader public audience. When so-called “preferences” are aired without scrutiny, they contribute to a cycle of exclusion and veiled racism that flourishes on the internet. It’s a stark reminder of the ongoing need to dismantle systemic biases, especially in media platforms.

Megan Thee Stallion deserves better than to be reduced to a talking point in a podcaster’s offhand remark about race and dating. It’s time to hold these voices accountable for the narratives they propagate, whether intentional or not. Subtle racism is still racism, and it’s far too prevalent to overlook.
