*Teyana Taylor has what many would consider to be a killer body, but the singer admits she struggles with certain insecurities.
“People may say I have a perfect body, but I have certain insecurities too,” the 28-year-old told Us Weekly at McDonald’s Beat of My City event in NYC in September. “You know what’s crazy? A lot of people think, ‘Yeah your body is cool,’ but, like, there’s been plenty of roles where it’s like, ‘Oh yeah, you have to gain weight’ and it’s very hard for me to gain weight, you know what I’m saying?”
The star actress and dancer also noted that she struggles to add weight to her slim frame.
“It’s not easy, or I lose weight for any little thing and I’m already small, I can’t afford to lose any more weight, but that’s just my personal thing.”

As reported by Us, Taylor created her at-home workout, Fade2Fit, primarily because she finds the gym “overwhelming and intimidating,” she said.
“Nobody’s perfect. Everyone has their own little insecurities, so I wanted to create a body program that you can do in the comfort of your own home and not worry about who’s watching or looking.”
“Especially me, if I walk into a gym, people think I’m gonna do backflips, lift 100-pound weights. Like, that’s still a pre-judgement of, ‘Oh she’s got a 20-pack, so I know she’s about do some work,’” Taylor continued. “And I’m really just shy, so you never know. Never judge a book by its cover.”
Meanwhile, when it comes to her recent collab with with McDonalds, Taylor explained why she signed up to kick off their “Beat Of My City” initiative in her native hometown, New York City,
“As exclusively announced by BET Digital, McDonald’s “Beat Of My City” is a philanthropic effort aiming to bring unique music experiences to underprivileged Black communities around the country,” the outlet writes.
“I’ve always been a fan of McDonalds. Real talk—I’ve always loved their food. But putting this event together really means a lot because a lot of companies, especially corporate, will say they are doing something, and it’s really to benefit themselves and not really the people that they’re supposed to be doing it for. So, I think it’s such a genuine event that McDonalds put on,” Taylor explained to BET.com.
