Some social media users commented on the original snippet, writing:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cthis makes me really upset \ud83d\ude41 she needs to apologize and if you are a non black person you don\u2019t have a say if it\u2019s offensive\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe doesn\u2019t sound like this when she sings big yikes\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related: Ryan Adams Begs Record Labels For \u2018Second Chance\u2019 To Save His Career After Abuse Allegations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Others were quick to point out the \u201cdouble standard\u201d of the performer using AAVE slang when the Black community is often discriminated against for speaking the exact same way. One person wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI think the problem here is the double standard\u2026 it\u2019s cool and trendy for non-black people to talk like that but black people are still scolded for using aave even though they invented it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Another chimed in to support the argument, pointing out:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI can see why ppl don\u2019t think it\u2019s that serious, but for me this is just annoying bc at the end of the day black folks definitely get discriminated against for using AAVE. Technically she\u2019s not hurting anyone BUT she is perpetuating some mess and imma DOG HER for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, many people quickly came to Rodrigo\u2019s defense for using slang that they considered being common across all platforms:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI just think at this point it\u2019s seen as \u201ccool\u201d or just the way gen z talks. It\u2019s not. But at the same time we can\u2019t blame her since everyone nowadays is trying to talk like that. As long as she isn\u2019t being malicious or intentionally tryna harm others we should let her be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really not that serious. Most people in this generation talks like this now. You guys just be hating on her for just talking like how teenagers and young adults be talking. Haters gonna hate!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Olivia has yet to address the accusations. But she may want to follow in the footsteps of <strong>Billie Eilish<\/strong> \u2014 who recently came under fire for the same kind of thing \u2014 and actually take accountability.
