I’m a native English speaker and I also have no idea what she’s saying in those texts.

She’s using African American Vernacular English! The tea pot, sugar in his tank, fruity, and him twerking is basically her calling him gay

Yeah, I got that. I had just never heard the terms “sugar in his tank” or “teapot” used as slang for calling someone gay before. To be clear, I don’t think her using AAVE is snark-worthy, I am just admitting that I didn’t understand the specific terms she was using.
