Azealia Banks Weighs In On Who Can & Can’t Use The N-Word: ‘If We Want People To Let It Go We Have To Do So First’

Azealia Banks is weighing in on who can and can’t use the N-word.

After an X user wrote, “if u not black. stop saying n*gga. period. idk why that’s so hard??? idc who u grew up with. if u NOT black expand ur vocabulary,” Azealia responded with a different perspective.

“No,” she wrote. “Everyone in the world can say and do what they want and black people really have no reason to be upset about it as offensive while we run around calling each other such an ugly word because we can’t expand our vocabulary.”

She continued, “If we want people to let it go, we have to do so first.”

Her comments come as rapper That Mexican OT continues to defend his own use of the word in recent interviews.
