“Yummy” by Justin Bieber
The popular theory behind “Yummy” is that the intended addressee is actually Justin Bieber’s wife, Hailey. The reason this conclusion is valid is because despite reading more or less like your average sensual-based romance tune, you can see that the person he is singing to in “Yummy” is someone he truly loves.
So as you’ve probably already guessed, “that yummy-yum” an allusion to the idea of the singer enjoying an intimate moment with the addressee. And he touts himself as a “bonafide stallion”, i.e. someone who can keep her satisfied in that regard. But he also proclaims this romance as a “50/50 love”, likely insinuating that he is willing to share his all with her. Indeed the singer even intends for the addressee to ‘help him spend’ his “hundred racks”. The latter phrase is apparently a figure of speech pointing to his impressive wealth.
Conclusion
So it is pretty apparent that despite its strong sensual undertone, “Yummy” is not a song about casual intimacy. Yes, the singer does in fact relish an ‘eye-rolling’, ‘toe-curling’ intimate moment with the addressee. But even outside of that he is obviously committed to fully sharing his love and resources with her.

If you combine the lyrics with the image, the message completely changes. But hey, that’s your take from it.
I think he cant be talking about himself when he says bona fide stallion because the song goes “bona fide stallion aint in no stable, no, YOU stay on the run.” meaning she is the stallion which is interesting as it means a male horse.
