The new year has just barely begun and controversial YouTube star James Charles is already drowning in drama again!
The 20-year-old beauty vlogger caused quite a stir on New Year’s Eve when he shared a fun clip singing along to rapper Saweetie‘s hit single My Type, in which he appears to say the N-word repeatedly during the song’s chorus. As you might expect, people had all kinds of reactions after the vid quickly got around social media.
The makeup artist’s Insta Story has since expired, but of course, internet detectives were quick to screen record and reshare the moment for anyone who might’ve missed it.
Before we go any further though, here’s a quick cliff note for anyone who might not know the record. The California-based artist’s chorus begins:
“Rich n****, eight-figure, that’s my type / That’s my type, n**** that’s my type/ Eight-inch big, ooh, that’s good pipe / Bad bitch, I’ma ride the d**k all night”
All caught up? Sweet. Now, get a good look AND listen to the snippet (below):
Why is nobody talking about James Charles SAYING THE N WORD TWO TIMES IN A IG STORY. 🤢
However, there were also a few unconvinced Twitics who not only questioned the quality of the clip but also the very idea of trying to #cancel the young star because of it.
“Look I dislike James Charles as much as the next person, but he didn’t say the N-word, you know who did though? Jeffree Star, Shane Dawson, Rich Lux, Keemstar, just to name a few, so shut the fuck up already with your hypocritical asses and take a few fucking seats!!!”
“coming from a black person i don’t care if james saud the n word. just let him feel himself while singing saweetie like we all do. y’all white ppl trying to cancel him need to calm tf down.”
“So y’all are canceling James Charles just because he said “Nigga” But Eminem literally says the n word in all his songs but y’all never cancel him. Smh”
And this user doctored the questionable footage and reuploaded it in slow-motion to make their own point:
i’m not a huge fan of james charles but i despise canceling someone out of boredom. i put slow mo on the video where he apparently said the n word and tbfh his lip movements do NOT match. so stop creating drama just bc u don’t like someone #jamescharlesisover pic.twitter.com/uDdnsUjyQf
