Saweetie recently had to address a tasteless joke from a fan that seriously missed the mark.
- A user on X (formerly Twitter) joked about Saweetie benefiting from colorism.
- Saweetie wasted no time in clapping back at the insensitive comment.
- The user who made the joke has since made their account private.
- Fans rallied around Saweetie, showing their support and agreement.
Saweetie didn’t find any humor in a fan’s post on X (formerly Twitter). The user wrote, “I bet Saweetie wakes up every morning, brushes her teeth, looks in the mirror, and thanks God for colorism.”
Saweetie responded swiftly, calling the joke ‘tasteless humor’ and stating, “Nothing witty or clever about this whatsoever. Matter of fact, joking about a serious psychological battle is never funny. If you don’t agree with my art that’s fine, but don’t identify me with a behavior that condones discrimination. Because I don’t. thanks.”
She also shared a statement from another fan, saying, “Joking about serious issues like colorism isn’t funny at all. It’s harmful and perpetuates stereotypes.”
The original user has since made their account private, likely due to backlash from Saweetie’s followers.
Support poured in for Saweetie, with one fan commenting, “These peons really be sooooo mad at your very existence it’s so interesting LOL you have quite literally never done anything to anybody!!!! they can stay mad fr.”
Another supporter added, “Idk if its something deep rooted but i hope those people really come to terms with it they love throwing that term around loosely.”
However, there were also comments from users who argued that Saweetie still benefits from colorism despite her remarks.
In a world where social media comments can quickly turn toxic, Saweetie’s swift response highlights the need for sensitivity and awareness on serious issues like colorism.
