‘Pissed Her Off’: Georgia Man Flips the Script on ‘Karen’ and Turns It Into a Roasting Session She Didn’t Expect

A Georgia rapper who goes by Nasti Nook had heard enough from a white woman one recent May morning. He and the unknown “Karen” got into a war of words on his street in Douglasville, Georgia, though no one knows exactly why she was there in the first place.

When it came to the crafty comebacks, there was only one winner. Nasti Nook posted the argument on May 29, and the video kept viewers laughing for weeks.

In the caption, he alleged foul play: “She just not nutthin. Family not nutthin. Den told me I have warrants. Dat damn wham wham a do it. All dat sugabooger. Round here oinking out for no reason.”

People tuned in as much for his creative choice of words as for his ruthless roasting. The video opens with him loudly announcing to the entire street, “We have a Karen in my neighborhood!” When the woman told him he was “acting stupid,” he couldn’t resist piling it on. “We love Karen, no problem!”

At one point, the woman accused him of being “on crack.” As she was calling the police, she lobbed off another rude remark, “I hope you don’t have any warrants.”

He soon launched into a mocking session that viewers couldn’t stop quoting. “I’m sorry you have to deal with that not nutthin boyfriend, and that not nutthin baby daddy, not nutthin ass shit!”

“This is free land. This is my property. My name is on the lease. Baby girl, I’m worrying about nothing. Hey, you want to see my dance? It go like nasty, nasty.”

As the woman stood by her car looking dumbfounded, Nasti accused her of being the one who was really there for drugs: “You’re on the crack, baby… you come out here to get that old wham wham, and you think I don’t know.”

Commenters had plenty to say. “Not that wham wham,” joked one viewer. “Hell naw,” added another, “You pissed her off when you said her ‘not nutthin boyfriend.’ She turned all the way around from getting in the car.”

Another commenter praised his range, writing, “The code switches are taking me tf out”, noting how Nasti swung from comedy to genuine indignation and back again. One more summed up the entire mood, writing, “Girl shut up and take your ass inside!! He said not nothing ain’t nothing no nothing lmao.”

The story didn’t end there. A May 31 follow-up video showed Nasti in a prop jail cell. He said the Karen “got me booked,” but assured his fans he’d be home soon.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
