[dtownreppin214]

i can't believe how many of you c00ns are defending her.

imagine her smugly telling jews to incorporate african, syrian genocide in their cause....career suicide.

imagine her smugly telling the LGBT community to incorporate people with disabilities and women in their cause...career suicide.

they know what line not to cross with other minority groups.

us? we take the slap in the face and then invent them to headline our festivals and make money off of us. we desperately need a code for our people, this shyt is getting embarrassing.

It's to be expected
We fought and died for THEIR civil rights. We fought and died for them to come and grab the resources that were supposed to be allocated for US
Why stop now? It's not like nikkas as a group have gotten stronger/smarter since the 60's
Every single thing we have, we allow outsiders to eat off of us. My brother even had a white boy in his BLACK fraternity

That's a lie.

Diplo stated in a magazine interview that the song was mocking black/"hip hop" culture. Then mia started making this false narrative about how revolutionary it was after it started to get bigger.

The cash register sound effects are there to cover up the real lyrics which are taken from wreckx-n-effect's rump shaker "All i wanna do is zooma zoom zoom zoom in the pum pum". They couldn't clear the vocal so they covered it with samples. The original version was on the net back then but now it's gone

I had that version of Paper Planes on my old computer

This is true

 

[O.Red]

Well thanks for clearing that up.

Do you know if English is her first language or not?
It's kinda confusing the way she worded it.

It's not. It's Arabic

Her English is good tho

 

[scarlxrd]

Damn, they should have gave her spot to Nolay.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

I'm surprised her non-rapping ass is still eating off hip-hop

 

[CinnaSlim]

Can we have a Colifest?

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Can we have a Colifest?

Ayo...

 

[Still Benefited]

Sounds like a festival for nikkas anyway.

 

[MikeyC]

Can we have a Colifest?

With K-Rino headlining? I'm there.

comments or not isn't the key part of afropunk Afro? she is not afro or even part afro so why is she there? just stealing an opportunity for a black artist to get paid

 

[O.Red]

With K-Rino headlining? I'm there.

Bruh

Her comment was pretty stupid but that's far from a racist/anit-Black comment, unless there's other tweets from her that's not being posted. I swear people love throwing out terms without knowing the meaning of it.

She's disingenuously trying to use black people as a pedestal to help other peoples, the majority of which are anti-black. She's disrespectful, doesn't care about blacks, and on top of it all she's not black so she shouldn't headline any black festival, period. Black artists don't headline Indian, Paki or Arab festivals because they don't want us there. Remove her.

 

[godkiller]

I don't see any other prominent figures of other races tweeting out to help black causes.

Where the Bollywood actors at?
Where the famous Chinese and Arabs at?

Oh.. they worrying about their own fukking people.

bytch should let us build ourselves up first, then talk about helping others

She doesn't care about black people. She wants to shill for her own Arab, Indian, blah blah race at black people's expense and with black people's platform. bytch, get the fukk outta here. Like I said, where are all the Chinese, Arab, Indian, Bollywood, etc for Black Lives Matters? Oh, they don't give a fukk? That's what I thought. Banish this ho from all black festivals including this Afropunk one.

The word banish ain't in our vocabulary and now we gotta put it in our dictionary
