After coming forward to defend openly using the N-word this week, white rapper Chet Haze‘s black friend Scrilla King has cut him off.
According to Scrilla King, Chet severed their six-year friendship due to his controversial word usage.
Scrilla says Chet’s black friends are very uncomfortable when Chet uses the word saying, “It’s disrespectful. He thinks it’s a joke.” He adds that Chet, “He wakes up thinking he can be black today and know what we go through. He doesn’t. I wake up black every day, he does not.” (TMZ)
In a now-deleted Instagram video clip posted this week, Chet explained his reasoning behind the N-bombing.

“If I say the (N-word) I say it amongst people I love and who love me. If I say “(expletive) yall hatin ass (N-words)” it’s because that’s really how I felt at the time. And I don’t accept society getting to decide what ANYBODY can or can’t say. That’s something we call FREE SPEECH. Now I understand the older generation who grew up in the Jim Crowe era might have strong feelings against this. And that’s understandable… But what I’m saying is this is 2015… And even tho we are still far from where we need to be and black people are still being literally KILLED by a RACIST and (expletive) up system… We have also reached a point where the word can no longer have a negative connotation if we so choose. And who is to say only black people can use it? The way I see it, it’s a word that unifies the culture of HIP-HOP across ALL RACES, which is actually kind of a beautiful thing. It’s a word that can be used out of camaraderie and love, not just exclusively for black people. What’s the point in putting all these built up ‘rules’ about it. It’s time to let go. You can hate me or love me for it, but can’t nobody tell me what I can or can’t say. It’s got nothing to do with trying to be a thug. It’s about the culture of the music. And that’s all I have to say about that (no pun intended) lol. It’s all love. Some people will get it, some people won’t. Either way, Ima keep living my life however the (expletive) I want. ALL LOVE.” (Chet Haze’s Instagram)
Chet caught people’s attention after casually using the N-word in an Instagram post.

Instead of taking offense, rapper Rich Homie Quan recently said he embraced white fans using the N-word during his performances.
“I feel good, man, because it’s that kind of trap that we want people to do,” Homie said when asked about his take on fans rapping to his “My N*gga” song. “It’s almost like cross-over music. I feel good. I don’t really look at nothing by it. It’s good. You make music so people can recite it and that’s what they’re doing, they’re reciting the song. … I wouldn’t say racism is worse in the South because it was so hard in the South, I think people are very nice in the South now and don’t want to go back to those days. I’ve seen very little racism since I’ve been living.” (VLAD TV)
Now scrilla is probably a white black guy. I swear some of us are so into making a statement bt I bet you practically all scrilla friends are white. A lot of us that play the race card were really raised in white surroundings so they were kept away from their culture. BUT I could be wrong.
just cuz u raised in the burbs or around whites or have white friends doesn’t mean u have to be a sellout and say its ok for them to use the n-word openly,,,do we openly use those type of words(kraka,honkey etc)and no “white boy” doesn’t count ,, when dealing with whites?,,,and saying its not kool to do is not “playing the race card”
Some people had problems to understand
Cuz the same word mean 2 diff thing
You never gonna see a a white guy saying me and my crackas
