You might remember Pretty Ricky, a musician from Miami, Florida, for his hit song “Grind with Me,” on which he featured with Sean Paul in the early 2000s. But recently, the musician attracted a lot of attention on social media for a completely different reason; for sharing a picture.

He shared a picture of an overweight passenger who had just boarded an airplane. When the man sat down on his seat for the flight bound to Copenhagen from Helsinki, it became clear what a struggle he was going through.

After he shared the picture with his millions of followers on social media, a debate immediately began online, according to the Daily Mail. The hip-hop stars themselves took a stand for the man, writing in their Facebook post, “Airlines will have to have something in place for plus sized passengers. This image was taken recently in a flight showing how difficult it is for people who are bigger than one seat. It’s also difficult for those sitting next to them. It’s a difficult situation because the airline will need to think of a happy medium.”

But several of the group’s followers disagree. People on both sides of the argument made sure their opinion was heard online.

“If they take up two seat, they should pay for two seats,” one per wrote in the comments. While another added, “You should simply weigh them like luggage before check-in. If they’re too bulky, they won’t fly unless you buy a second ticket.” While another said that airlines overall give little seating space to everyone, “Man even the skinny people be to close give us all more room! Lol”

Overall, the debate on both sides was lively and people made sure they got their points across. What do you think of this issue? Let us know on the comments on Facebook. Share with others to see what they think!
