 Atlanta rapper Lotto has just done a huge song collaboration with Jungkook of BTS But some people of the army have dug up some of her old Anti-Asian tweets from back when she was 16 years old. Can she be canceled for this and should she feel bad? Let's talk about it. Yeah, I mean this went viral because Lotto and Jungkook Jungkook and Lotto's song Andrew has 74 million views Andrew. I know that you're a fan of that song 7. Yeah, no It's a good song. It sounds good. I thought both people did well But I can tell that they were not in the studio together working on it because they film the music video separate from each other But anyways, no it is possible that Jungkook and Lotto have never even met because nowadays This is the name of the game in the industry in 2023 But we're gonna get into that Andrew first off we got to talk about the racist tweets She made when what she was 16 17 year old living in Atlanta. These are back from 2015 She said just cuz I don't eat cats and dogs doesn't make me fat when she was arguing with somebody Maybe that was half Asian or something like that. She said you'd be cooking cats and dogs Taekwons suki shupu you juku Actually kind of funny in a way, but yes racist racist She also said shout out to the plug Ling Ling at Tokyo Express She stay hooking me up in South Lake and then she posted a photo with her and what looks to be an older Chinese lady who runs a takeout Chinese spot. Yeah, so anyways guys We're gonna get into the comments section will give you our takeaways our perspective on it Should she be canceled should she feel bad or is this really not that big of a deal anyways guys Please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hot pot boys as we get into this from silly to serious David Where do you put this silly man? But I'm telling you there is a cross-section of BTS army fans who are also maybe um, I don't want to say like Twitter activists Or you know being like the cancellation crowd. Yes, and I'm not saying that they don't have anything valid to say Like this is real dirt on Lotto like Lotto probably should apologize for these tweets I don't know if she will because this the stirrup might not be significant enough, but these were in poor taste Yeah, anyways guys, so I'm gonna get into some quick thoughts before we get in the comments section Um, I'm just gonna say it. These are racist tweets. They totally fall under that category So I'm not gonna say older ignorant. Oh, she was young. They're racist. She was young. She probably has not said that stuff now I don't know the context, but they're not the worst tweets in the world She wasn't like yo, I'm about to rob Ling Ling at this Tokyo She's smiling with the older Asian yeah, but no regardless not good to have on your Twitter, okay? Also, I do not think Jungkook, you know and her have met Also, we kind of give rappers kind of like a hood pass or a rap pass You know what I mean like yeah It's more of a rap pass because the hood passes more like if you're good in the hood But like a rap pass it's almost like you can just say wild things that an Educated person is not allowed to say because you're a rapper And I think we have to acknowledge that she comes from a different world than a lot of the people that are trying to cancel her right now So I'm not saying it's okay But I'm also just saying like which standards are we going by because trust me There's a lot of people out there with a lot of ignorant stuff And even within hip-hop, you know, there's such an incredible range You could be like Kendrick J. Cole and you're gonna be held a really high standards most death You could be somewhere in the middle like Drake, you know, or even then you start to move towards the babies And then you start to get to the most ignorant which I would like blue face And I would say a lot of the pop and female rappers right now like that one girl with the song Pound Town Yeah, Pound Town, you know, like that's almost like blue face on the most ratchet end of a strip club music I mean not to mention obviously and this gives nobody a pass but Suki Hana She had some lines about being Asian. Oh my nonny tight like a Asian not a ching chong Yeah, anyways guys, but anyways again, what standards are we going by and what standards are we going to hold? Popular rappers, too. I think it's fair to say that they should get checked But anyways, let's get into the comments section David. Sorry. Is it worth noting that she is 24 years old She's Gen Z and she is also biracial. Yeah, I mean, that's why she her original rap name was mulatto She changed it because people were she said people were taking it the wrong way So she's already been through some kind of Twitter spat at least early on in her career Yeah, for sure for sure. Like I said, hey guys, I'm not defending her. I'm not a fan of her music I don't think she you know, but it just is like it's this is not an issue that I take serious But I'm gonna talk about it because other some people took it serious This is a deal to me but not a big deal to me Somebody said the only reason lotto collaborated with June Cook in the first place was because of money and to get a wider audience You know, they could have picked so many better people, but she was popping right now She had a lot of pop raps out and it just made sense plus Scooter Braun is managing BTS right now It was an English song. They want to get him more bigger in the US. So it's just all an industry plant thing It's not like the old days where like rappers had to really mess with each other As homies to get the collab done You're saying that Jungkook did not necessarily co-sign her as an entire person or artist. They just got put together on tracks Possible they never even met it's literally like she could have just made her verse sent the audio over to the engineer That's doing Jungkook's song and then literally they just put it together and then they film the music video separately Because literally they're not in the scene together and then apparently there's an explicit rap English version of seven where Jungkook swears And some people were like, oh my gosh That is so bad that he is being like American degenerate now like BTS is known for like good morals and stuff And now the Scooter Braun is involved. They're trying to make him appeal to the west more by being degenerate Ooh interesting interesting somebody said but what if Jungkook is just maturing, huh? Why do you think it's just marketing? What if that's just what he wants to do with his life because he's a grown man and he might be having sex and stuff Oh Jungkook is having sex No, but I get it of course Dude the music that BTS makes and got famous for versus the music that lotto makes Is very different and comes from different places and a different like message in a different culture and represents different things Hell yeah Do it. What if uh, june kook did a song with sexy red next? Oh, that would be crazy My boat is brown, man Someone said a sad thing that she is Sad thing is that lotto probably genuinely doesn't think she was being racist because racism against asian is super normalized And then somebody said yes, especially in the hood ignorant comments or a normal thing But then somebody came through and said no Tina Fey is a hyper educated white woman who went to northwestern And she has a lot of normalized racism and stuff that she wrote too Yeah, there's racism from everybody and there's ignorance from everybody guys I don't care whether you got a proper education or you got a proper education. I will say this though like uh I think a lot of stuff goes on in the hood like if you're from a certain community There's a lot of hostile little hostile words said about everything not just race And everybody to everybody else from everybody to everybody wet men to women little kid Bigger kids like oh even somebody who just like has a big forehead or Whatever physical feature that is clownable or let's just say they speak differently with like, you know, everybody Yes, it is true though What is saying like, you know, you could hear like a Ling Ling joke depending on what zone you're in absolutely And that is ignorant, but yeah everywhere is different. Um, this white guy said how come if there was a white Artist then it would be a racist tweet But since it is a black artist it is only considered a controversial tweet Isn't that a double standard if she was a straight white male She would be getting cancelled a lot harder than she is right now Yeah, I actually think that the people who are trying to have a conversation about race relations in this On this matter are not lotto fans. They might not be Even Jungkook fans either like I think these people are just coming in to say well You know what if it was a white guy who did this if it was a white girl who did this the what ifs of course It would be seen differently. I'm gonna be honest. It would be seen differently It would it would be but you're right that billy bob has no idea who lotto or jungkook is And you know, it's crazy to think that bts represents the asian community and that lotto represents the african-american community Yeah, I'm not again. I don't want to say everybody talks like lotto either. I would never say that, you know Somebody said uh, I'm I'm not gonna lie. I kind of don't expect much from rappers I can't think of many who haven't said or done something racist sexist or homophobic This is what this is a common more from a I think a bts fan or they have an anime avatar Yeah, my whole thing is is like, you know We reward a lot of these artists for being edgy and cool and saying these hyper masculine or sexual things That are on the borderline all the time literally they either are offensive or their borderline Whether white or black we talking about m&m. Are we talking about everybody's whatever? I mean, even if you want to go back to johnny cash, which was not hip-hop. He's talking about getting in shootouts Yeah, like that's just music You know what I mean? Well, it's western music because that that has not been allowed in the east ever You cannot talk about having shootouts with the cops whether in a country song a reggae song or a hip-hop song in the east Well, maybe this is why people like afro beats right now because it just sounds like a good time and it's positive Yeah, I mean listen guys a lot. I'm not all rap but a lot of rap right now in 2023 It's talking about shooting ops, okay, but but and I acknowledge that and obviously I'm tuning out of a lot of rap music right now But not necessarily lotto's music doesn't bother me, but I got some asking david What standards are we going by because you have the cancellation crowd that wants to cancel people? But they're not coming from the same place that lotto is coming from now Is it wrong that lotto comes from this area and wants to talk about that life? I mean if she's committing crimes, it's wrong but like at the end of the day if she's Being sexual and just being her or being like little old her from atlanta born in ohio columbus ohio then yeah, I don't think she's that like Violin in her legs, but yeah for sure. I mean it's edgy and it's very sexual right um somebody just said this These are comments from actually black fans of bts that are also part of the black community Obviously familiar with the hip-hop world and lotto's music They were saying you know a lot of stuff that is considered like improper is really common in the hood And uh, who knows she just grew out of it when she was 16 now. She's what? 24 and she's just like probably passed that and why are you trying to cancel her now right and somebody said uh Yeah, listen guys. We all grow. This is another comment from an african-american girl and she was just saying uh Asians, you know stereotype black people worldwide too. So it goes both ways I I mean, I guess if we always want to use that argument, you know Yeah, I don't I don't love that argument. But again, like I'm saying like I I don't again think that this is the biggest deal in the Yeah, I don't even think this is a big deal, but you're right did I don't know if that is the best I'll tell you this if lotto comes out to be connected to some type of hate crime Or even any shred of violence or ill doing towards asians then let that come out and let that be something But just kind of teasing people on twitter at that time I think she even said in an ear. I was watching an interview about her Name change from mulatto to lotto and she was just kind of like yeah I just I thought twitter was different back then. I mean, I hope people understand It's just I wouldn't mean it's a she was referring to that But maybe she could use that same excuse here an asian girl said she needed to apologize and do some activism Cancel culture ain't it prove that you've changed and someone said do some activism made me laugh And someone said yeah, she ain't gonna do ish and then somebody was just like Yo, what are you guys thinking like everybody is like, oh, you need to do better You need to apologize they were saying look at this the dynamics of who has the power and all the money here She's not even gonna ever address this. All right. So I have a question david Do you think it's fair to say that if this Kind of like twitter cancellation thing gets a little bit stronger that this wave goes that she should apologize one At least in a tweet and just be like, yo my bad like I didn't mean it back then I was young You know I was stupid and also should jungkook Also step up and say something because he is benefiting from her being on the song too as much as she's benefiting from him Yeah, I mean honestly what I truly believe is the actual probable outcome if you made me bet money is neither of them We're gonna address it. Yeah, honestly. That's really what's gonna happen Um somebody said oh, I was on the age of the internet when I was 15 or 16 And I never said stuff like this and someone said come on the human brain is not fully developed scientifically until the mid 20s Guys, why are we always trying to cancel people the second someone becomes successful? Everybody combs through every single word you said when you were a teenager and tries to take you down from your spot I mean, uh, it's both valid just like you could tweet whatever you wanted to tweet when you were 16 Somebody is free to go back into your history and also bring it back up again though and rehash it Um, she said, uh, she probably thinks that only white people can be racist and somebody said that racism comes from different racial prejudice hatred or discrimination Institutional policies and practices therefore poc people cannot be racist by definition Lotto does not have the power to do so. However, she can be racially prejudice or discriminatory So this is just uh it turning into like more macro discussions. Yeah, I don't I don't really I mean I do you I don't really want to get in this discussion of like oh can black people be racist or not I mean dude people can have racist feel anybody can have racist feelings I I think actually when when people made this argument I see where they were coming from when the liberal professors were saying Yeah, they're basically saying that racist and institutionally racist are the same thing. Yeah, however To me to say that you have to say no I think a lot of people who do not run institutions then it would be very difficult to be institutionally racist But person to person absolutely you can be racist I think there are different types of racism Maybe we should make a video on what I think we should make a video on what we Consider different types of racism because there's different levels just like there's different levels of crime They're all crimes But let's be honest there are different levels of crimes and different severity levels that deserve different punishment So anyways, I'm just gonna leave it right there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um somebody said, um Man Someone said growing up in the hood. It was just so racist towards Asians Is this just something that Asians have to deal with like Asians growing up in the hood and the hood is just Like we said before a very hostile place against anybody everybody like nobody thinks growing up in the hood Is like pleasant, right? Right. There's pleasant moments though And it really depends on obviously what tier of hood you grow up into I mean, I would say this if you've spent a lot of time In certain neighborhoods or whatever like that you see everything you see a lot of hostile interactions You see some mixed ones like ones that start off hostile and end up good and you see ones where it is like, uh You know what I mean? Like a Romeo must die like type like You know young gz genie my situation you see that too. So I'm just saying you see Everything happen if you've seen enough reps. Yeah, you know what I mean? So it's not they they it's but yeah, of course Yeah, it's hostile to everybody to be an extent. I mean that's like a a highly probable outcome Okay, David, some people do want to point out and we're saying that historically and this might have been also when she was young But she's also a colorist because she's always like talking about how she was light-skinned versus like, you know She was repping mulatto, which is she's actually biracial. Um, not just light-skinned specifically. She's biracial her mom's white Yeah, and then also I guess she had said some transphobic stuff I'm not sure what in a lot of these comments actually came from african-american women who were more familiar with the past I don't think a lot of bts fans andrew to be honest knew a lot about lotto prior to the song with june cook I didn't know a lot about lotto until I did the research. Um, so I guess I guess if she has a history I would I think that Yeah, it is fair for her to come out and be like, hey guys There was some things I said when I was like 16 17 trying to come up. Those were silly. I don't say those things anymore I'm sorry, but you know, I'm just trying to I'm just trying to make good music now Like even if she said that that would be cool. I saw this really interesting comment Somebody said why why is it always so funny? Okay to make fun of asians and nobody cares Nobody takes racism against asians seriously and I believe a latino guy came in and said by the way I'm from another country originally one thing that I learned is that americans do not respect any culture that is not popularized by pop culture They only learn what they see in media and they never open a book or travel to see Uh to discover the the world on their own at least us growing up overseas We know our local culture is not popular So we have to understand american culture and our local music But we know that nobody else but us cares about our own music He said that americans are so entitled that the american world view is their world view But growing up overseas they know that there's a duality of modes. They got to switch through So, yeah, I mean I think the more popular that asian culture gets or asian artists get I do think that There is gonna be a less tolerance for this type of stuff I actually believe I actually agree with what he said though. Yeah, yeah, america is kind of weird like that, huh? because it's almost like Yeah, there's no you don't have to switch off modes Like if you're growing up in some small country in like central europe or eastern europe David this this quote if you do something and you become famous in 2023 Many people will look through your past and try to dig up dirt. Yeah I think so Is that right or wrong? I mean if you leave dirt on the internet for everybody to see Yeah, you're gonna have to respond to it. I think everybody does Yeah, but I think that people are gonna make power dynamic calculations in the same sense that if this fur over this uh Her 16 year old tweets doesn't get too big. I don't think lotter was really gonna care right I guess David wrapping it up like uh, what standards are we holding rappers to because we let Rappers say a lot of stuff and there's even this law. I think in california where they said, oh, you can't use rappers song lyrics to help Prosecute them in court, you know, I mean if they admit to crimes in their lyrics or whatever I mean, listen guys. I don't know. I mean I think it's really I think it's really complicated. I think that uh, if you look at A lot of hip-hop obviously not all of it. It's like definitely super edgy And I think you can argue about it's like actual long-term impacts on society Whether it's negative or positive or did it stimulate the economy or did it? Incept a lot of people with you know Too ratchet of thoughts. I don't know, you know Listen, man I'm not in control of it. I just know that there's a system in america where people monetize it And they encourage it and it's you know, and this goes for all colors, too I mean like m&m as well Like not I'm not like signaling out just african-american rappers for sure for sure I think moving forward as far as this lotto thing goes like if other asian artists see this And they look past it and they collab with lotto Then that's their choice. You mean she becomes like the number one k-pop feature rapper No, if she does then that's going to speak volumes of how big of a deal people think this is Now you can get mad at your k-pop artists if it's If jindman does a song with her whoever else j-hope does another song with her does a song with her I'm saying like then you need to still hold your artists accountable If you're part of the army and this is your artist then let them know that she did something wrong To i'm saying like there's a little bit of responsibility on To add scooter brawn or something whoever set it up whoever set up the collab with the western world But also I think I think personally I think she could fire off an apology tweet I think it'd be cool. I think it would be cool for her to do that If she cares I would and and obviously if the asia management has I would like for her to do it I think she could just be like yo silly my bad like you know, I don't say those things anymore Or or you know what I would say could be a way to like hedge in the middle for her Like if she just posted something like pro asian with her with the the asian lady from the mall if she still runs that shop But without that's like saying something without really saying it right right right just showing support to the asian at the end of the day guys I don't really take Like even within rappers man I'm gonna take like what j Cole and kendrick Say more seriously than blueface and or the baby says about society and just like for female rappers I'm gonna care more about what lauren hill or bea says you know what I mean like Not that you should be caring about what rappers say about anything to be honest. I mean just like it for the music yeah, it's okay to say hey this rapper is uh Not as Smart of a rapper is this rapper. Yeah, there's different types of rappers. All right everybody Uh, let us know in the comments down below does this bother you? What do you think lotto should do and should other asian artists? Cancel her like out of like, you know cancel off the list of people to work with and how big of a deal Is this really or is it just existing within a very small cross section of multiple venn diagram layers Of the bts army. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. Keep it similar until next time We got a hot pop boys. We out peace
