What 🍠 means

Fitness and healthy-eating posts use it as a clean carb. Since there is no yam emoji, many people, including in Nigeria, use 🍠 for yam. In the Philippines it means kamote, and Filipino slang uses 'kamote' to call someone foolish, 'nangangamote' for struggling at something, and 'kamote rider' for a reckless motorcycle rider. Outside that slang, it has no hidden meaning.
