*Vancouver-based musician Eric Repid has become an internet sensation after a clip of him rapping the line “That chnk a lame, that chnk a bitch, that chnk a pussy” went viral.**
The clip, which was posted on Twitter in early February 2024, has been viewed millions of times and sparked a heated debate about the use of racial slurs in hip-hop music.
Repid, who is of Chinese descent, has defended his use of the slur, saying that he was not aware of its offensive meaning.
However, many people have criticized Repid for his lyrics, arguing that they are racist and harmful.
The controversy has also raised questions about the role of non-Black artists in hip-hop music.
Some argue that non-Black artists should not use racial slurs, while others believe that they should be free to express themselves in whatever way they see fit.
Repid is not the first non-Black artist to be criticized for using racial slurs in hip-hop music.
In recent years, there have been a number of cases of white rappers using the N-word, which has led to accusations of cultural appropriation.
The debate over the use of racial slurs in hip-hop music is likely to continue for some time.
As the genre continues to grow in popularity, it is important to have a conversation about the role of non-Black artists and the use of offensive language.
