Brooklyn, NY: Lee “Mr. Flint” Fagbemi is a Brooklyn based Hip Hop recording artist with a positive message for bigger-than-average women. His new music video “The Bigger They Are” salutes large, sexy, beautiful women and encourages people to accept and appreciate women of all shapes and sizes. The video and song is fast becoming a hit on YouTube and amongst groups battling discrimination against overweight people. The music video features Mr. Flint singing about the beauty of larger women as several glamorous, good-looking large ladies confidently dance to the catchy song.
“I dedicate this track to all plus sized women to remind them that they are beautiful and sexy inside and out. People must understand that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors, instead of sticking to one clichéd idea that skinny is sexy. I want them to know that they are attractive and gorgeous”, says Lee “Mr. Flint” Fagbemi.
Lee Fagbemi was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. and raised in Nigeria where he developed deep roots in music and a passion for sharing his truth and fighting discrimination. He understands the challenges that come with being “different” on a personal level. Lee met with an auto accident in the nineties that left him confined to a wheelchair. Despite his disability Lee pursued his music dreams and ambitions. He encourages others to do the same. “I had an accident and now I am in a wheelchair. This has not stopped or slowed down my love of music,” said Fagbemi.
Lee “Mr. Flint” Fagbemi is due to release his new album called “I Am What I Am” which has a vibrant African influence. “I Am What I Am” is all about Lee’s everyday struggle as a disabled paraplegic. The aim of the album is to fight discrimination against people who are different—especially plus sized women who are judged negatively for being large.
“Being overweight must never sabotage a person’s career, goals and love life. It’s time to celebrate the heart and brains behind the curves,” says Lee “Mr. Flint” Fagbemi about his new track “The Bigger They Are.”
A talented artist and humanitarian, Mr. Flint’s message of acceptance is resonating with music fans across many genres.
