KillForLove 13,308 Posted January 5, 2018 She says like the first syllable and then blurs it out. I think its gross when non-black people say it but I feel like people are freaking out about this just WANT a reason to be pissed off 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reputation 6,314 Posted January 5, 2018 Her tweets are so cringe. Shouldn't have even apologised. The fact she distorted it meant a clear message was already there when recording it More of this PC bullshit with artists and their music, tuh 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trash Magic 26,799 Posted January 5, 2018 Smoke Drink Break Up cover has literally always been one of my most listened songs from her as I've said in this thread dating back 2 years... What fucking LOSER just found it on soundcloud and decided to be fake offended? She goes OUT OF HER WAY in order TO censor it LOSERS 4 Quote "It's 2011, and we should all be aware of exactly how fast technology is developing" - Lana Del Rey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
white gold 4,240 Posted January 5, 2018 she shouldn't have said it even if its censored. it makes her look bad. I'm honestly surprised more people on LB aren't throwing fits about it--yall usually throw fits over anything 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't really an issue of "white passing celeb" My issue is here its a COVER. Covers have lyrics. If you wanna be mad at the lyrics blame the song writers Dua went to the lengths to censor the word from the song. And you guys are STILL mad. What the fuck does she need to do? Just put the instrumental over the whole verse? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reputation 6,314 Posted January 5, 2018 how are yall literally defending a light skinned person saying the n word hold her accountable or you're gonna make her whole fanbase look messy honestly Exactly white gold what is she accountable for? Just saying the n-word is far from something to be held accountable for. Let's hold most American black artists for incorporating that in their music You're seeing this as some sort of race issue. Its not. She sang a lyric and decided to censor a word because of the connotation it has edit: many members here will call each other "girl" and go by female pronouns even when they are male. Try saying that in Japan. Connotations, people 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tell me that Dua Lipa censoring :) in a verbatim cover is somehow less racist than black artist Jay Z calling out black people as ":)" in Story of OJ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

white gold 4,240 Posted January 6, 2018 I can't believe "light skinned people shouldnt say the n word" is a controversial opinion to have on LB lmao I guess they're called Reycists for a reason I'm honestly not even mad at Dua--I'm just embarrassed for her. what's alarming is that some of you are so quick to defend someone using a racial slur 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody here is for racism, were just not here for the shitstorm because of verbatim lyrics. Also nobody even thinks this is racist. It goes hand in hand Apparently if Dua was like, idk, 10% black its OK? Or is 20% better? To judge the use of a word over a ethnicity sounds more racist to me Honestly I couldn't care if Dua was using that in the [wrong] tone or not; its her mouth and her music. There's plenty of racists out there and someone using one word is the least of my concerns. If its so bad her using this one word let's boycott the fuck out of, ruin her career 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
