Azealia Banks Calls Out Kendrick Lamar Over 6ix9ine’s N-Word Usage:

Sidebar tho…. deadasss…. where was Kendrick when there was a gay Mexican in a rainbow lacefront running around saying n-gga?? Lmao. Do Kendrick know he doesn’t have a “oh you fancy huh,” nor a “passionfruit,” or anything but small sneaker rage to give us LOL.

The controversy stems from Lamar’s lyrics in his song “Euphoria,” where he chastises Drake for his use of the N-word.

However, Banks pointed out that Lamar has not addressed 6ix9ine’s similar usage of the word, despite the controversial rapper’s history of legal issues and divisive behavior within the hip-hop community.

Furthermore, Banks drew attention to Lamar’s lyrics in the song “They Not Like Us,” where he seemingly makes references to both Drake and 6ix9ine.

She speculated on the meaning behind the phrase “69 God,” suggesting it could be interpreted as a dig at 6ix9ine’s controversial past and his use of the N-word in his music.

6ix9ine, who is of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent, has faced criticism for his frequent use of the N-word, including in his debut single “Gummo.”

Despite backlash, the rapper has continued to incorporate the word into his lyrics, sparking debate and controversy within the hip-hop community.

This latest confrontation between Banks and Lamar adds fuel to the ongoing discussion surrounding the use of racial slurs in hip-hop and the responsibility of artists to address problematic behavior within the industry.
