[9] In March 2018, several memes involving Rodriguez went viral on multiple social media platforms where trolls would sarcastically label her as a "skinny legend" and compare her music discography, most notably her 2012 song "Living Your Dreams", to several uplifted and acclaimed acts in the industry, such as Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston.

[10] Rodriguez was subsequently asked about her opinions on the memes on her Twitter account 3 months later; in which she condemned the memes and labeled it as online bullying, and then proceeded to say she chooses to brace positive attention instead.

This has resulted in Rodriguez having to block multiple users on her social media platforms.
