During a new interview with Complex’s Speedy Morman, R&B star Summer Walker revisited one of the most viral moments of her career — the “cousin” controversy involving her ex-boyfriend, entertainer Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr.
The Over It singer was asked about the 2023 incident that sparked widespread internet memes and endless speculation.
“I want to talk about an unfortunate situation for you that led to an incredible line and meme for us as fans and viewers,” Morman said, referring to Lil Meech’s now-infamous excuse after being spotted on surveillance footage escorting a woman into an apartment building. “That was, ‘I can’t help my cousin bring the bags in the house.’ What do you remember about that? Was it infuriating for you? Did you laugh at it, or were you, like, in too deep?”
Walker didn’t hesitate. “Yes,” she replied. “That was really ignorant, but hey.” When asked if she could laugh at it now, she doubled down: “No, I was like, that’s trifling as fuck.”

The viral clip, which circulated in July 2023, showed Lil Meech — best known for his role in BMF and as the son of Black Mafia Family founder Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory — carrying shopping bags into a woman’s residence. His claim that the woman was his cousin quickly became one of social media’s most mocked explanations, inspiring countless memes and jokes at the couple’s expense.
At the time, Walker and Lil Meech were in a public relationship, frequently sharing affectionate photos online. The video’s release fueled rumors of infidelity and eventually led to their split.
In the Complex interview, Walker’s comments signaled she’s left the situation far behind. “I literally don’t even have to say anything on that,” she said with a smirk. “Because his life is terrible now, so… yeah.”
The moment captured Walker’s trademark mix of candor and composure — a reminder that while the internet may never forget the “cousin” meme, she’s moved on from the drama that started it.
