The conversation has drawn responses from fellow rappers such as Cleotrapa, Anycia, Monaleo and Sauce Walka, who are all weighing in on the issue of racial boundaries in rap.<\/p>\n<p>During an appearance on Angela Yee\u2019s <em>Lip Service<\/em> podcast on June 18, That Mexican OT addressed questions about cancel culture. When asked by Cleotrapa about his stance on using the N-word, he defended his position.<\/p>\n<p>He argued that his upbringing in a predominantly Black community shaped his perspective, stating, \u201cI feel like I can say it\u2026 What the f### are you going to do about it? And second of all, I grew up loving these muthafas. I grew up fighting with them. I grew up eating with them. I grew up doing bad s### with them. I grew up loving them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further explained that it wasn\u2019t just about having Black relatives but about being surrounded by Black culture and people throughout his life. Despite acknowledging that some people might be offended, he maintained his stance, saying, \u201cIf you are from where I\u2019m from, what the f* are you gonna do about it?\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><d class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lip Service | That Mexican OT &amp; Cleotrapa Talk Smelly Genitals, Saying The N-Word, &amp; Pigs?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4qFhdz-x9VM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/d><\/p>\n<p>Cleo responded by pointing out that, regardless of personal background, some individuals will always find the word disrespectful, emphasizing that the issue is not just about personal experience but also about broader perceptions of respect.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Anycia reacted to OT\u2019s comments on social media, expressing a clear stance: \u201cIf u not black. stop saying n####. period.

He compared it to saying Black people can\u2019t eat tacos and called the backlash \u201cignorance at its finest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also argued that the word has evolved in meaning within certain communities, saying it now represents love, companionship, and brotherhood, and that it\u2019s no longer a derogatory term in those contexts.<\/p>\n<p>The n-word debate isn\u2019t new to rap. Artists like Fat Joe have also faced criticism for their use of the N-word. Fat Joe has repeatedly explained that his use of the word stems from growing up in a predominantly Black environment, and he views it as part of his cultural upbringing.<\/p>\n<p>The Terror Squad vet has acknowledged the word\u2019s negative history but said it\u2019s become ingrained in his vocabulary from an early age and that he tries to be mindful of offending others, though he maintains that no one can dictate how he expresses himself.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/news\/that-mexican-ot-n-word-sauce-walka-anycia\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent remarks by That Mexican OT regarding his use of the N-word have sparked renewed debate about whether Latinos should be allowed to use the term.
