Issa Rae, co-creator of the hit HBO series Insecure, shut down rumors that she’s expecting her first child with husband Louis Diame.

A video showing Issa hugging her Insecure costar Yvonne Orji went viral as fans speculated that the actress was pregnant after her form-fitted dress showed a "baby bump." She shut down the rumors with a simple tweet:

“I am not pregnant, f---youverymuch,” she wrote. “LET A BITCH EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY.”

In the clip, the actress is also holding what is assumed to be a glass of champagne as well.

The Insecure creator will be returning to HBO soon for her new comedy series Rap S---, which plot is described as, "following two estranged high school friends from Miami who come back together to form a rap group."
