Here’s how the Internet that built up Doja Cat broke down her alleged racist remarks
Another hot button topic she discussed was her 2015 track"Dindu Nuffin," a racial slur that distorts the phrase"didn't do nothing" used to ridicule unarmed Black people who fall victim to police brutality. Twitter users claimed her song specifically mocked the death of Sandra Bland, a Black woman who died in police custody that same year after being arrested during a traffic stop, which Doja denied had any connection to her.
"As for the old song that's resurfaced, it was in no way tied to anything outside of my own personal experience. It was written in response to people who often used that term to hurt me," Doja wrote on her Instagram."I made an attempt to flip its meaning, but recognize that it was a bad decision to use the term in my music."
During her half-hour non-scripted mea culpa, Doja continued explaining how these chat rooms bred such a hurtful environment for her that she recorded"Dindu Nuffin" as a"f--- you" statement. "I'm very sorry to anybody who's taken offense, to anybody who I've hurt using this term. When I used it, it was because I was in chat rooms all the time, and I was kind of locked away," she revealed."I was always on there just dealing with people coming at me left and right talking about different slanderous terms after another. The term that I used in the song is one that I learned that day.
Not y'all defending Doja Cat saying that song isn't specifically about Sandra Bland, "dindu nuffin" mocks unarmed black people falling victim to police brutality so she's cancelled either way
