Bebe in her bonnet
Bebe Rexha claims designers won’t lend her a dress for Grammy Awards as she’s ‘too big’ at size 8
BEBE Rexha has hit out at fashion designers who have refused to dress her for this year's Grammy Awards because she is "too big".
The 29-year-old singer has been nominated for the Best Country Duo/Group Performance, as well as Best New Artist, at the awards ceremony next month, but the bash has been tainted as she has been told she is too big to have a luxury brand custom make her gown for the do.

The star took to Instagram to vent her frustration over the ordeal.
In a video she said: "So I finally get nominated at the Grammy's and it’s like the coolest thing ever. And a lot of times artists will go and talk to designers and they’ll make them custom dresses to walk the red carpet.
"So I had my team hit out a lot of designers and a lot of them do not want to dress me because I’m too big. Literally I am too big.
"If a size 6-8 is too big then I don't know what to tell you I don't want to dress their f**king dresses. It's crazy."
Bebe believes this rejection does not only impact her but "all the women in the world", claiming anyone who is not a "runway size" is not beautiful.

She continued: "You’re saying all the women in the world that are a size 8 and up are not beautiful and that they cannot wear your dresses.
"So to all the people who said I’m thick and I can’t wear your dresses, f**k you, I don’t want to wear your f***ing dresses.”
Bebe has admitted she would not be so offended by the rejection if she was told creators would not dress her because they didn't like her personal taste in fashion.
She captioned the upload: "Im sorry, I had to get this off my chest.
"If you don’t like my fashion style or my music that’s one thing. But don’t say you can’t dress someone that isn’t a runway size."
