People weren't talking about canceling her for it. Although I don't think canceling people was a thing back in the early 2000s >_>

She was born and raised in the hood in the Bronx. Everybody uses it there, especially Hispanic people, and nobody gives a fuck.

she used to have a little and now she has a lot, but she still knows where she came from (a place with a very high n-word per sentence ratio)

Just depends on the area. Some Hispanics or Latinos get a pass, some don't.

It's the 3rd line in "Los Angeles".

"She started to hate every n-word and Jew". The song is about some racist that feels the need to get out of LA.

She got a pass because she used Ashanti's singing talent as her own.

Side note, once I learned of J-Lo's "singing career", I can't help but cringe at her songs now.

Hispanic rappers have used it since the early 90's with very little controversy in the actual rap community. And that includes guys who are fairly light skinned (good example is B Real).

I think the biggest controversy there recently is with OhGeesy, from Shoreline Mafia, who uses the n word. He's Mexican, but he really looks like a regular white dude, with just a little flavor kinda.

The producer also did it on purpose because he wanted the controversy to help promote the song.

The honest truth is that Hispanics can pass as light skin or they are mixed. Most expect one of those 2 but when its learned that they arent black at all... well it doesnt matter anymore. It isnt like people learn this within 1 hour. Usually takes years.

EDIT: Of course Im talking about casual people
