Broderick Hunter was undoubtedly taken aback after he saw a young white woman use a song with the N-Word in it to pay him a compliment.
It all went down earlier this week after the model and actor noticed the woman playing Saweetie’s “My Type” on TikTok. The song is about Saweetie’s choice in men, and the woman deemed it appropriate to use one of the lyrics to express her fondness in Hunter.
“Rich n—-a, eight-figure, that’s my type,” Saweetie says in the chorus, as the woman makes a hand gesture to a shirtless photo of Hunter.
It seemed like Hunter did a double take and couldn’t believe what he witnessed. “Wait- I’m sorry.. rich what?” he tweeted on Sunday, April 26.
He followed that question up with another Twitter message and said pointing to him while a racial epithet is being uttered probably isn’t the best way to compliment him.
“Idk what you YT girls take me for.. but that ain’t it,” tweeted Hunter. “Could’ve used Backstreet Boys, Blink 182, N’Sync, Pink, Avril.”
There were some who defended the woman and said because she didn’t say the racial slur herself, Hunter and others should ease off.
He responded by telling those people to bring their theory to a Black neighborhood and conduct a little test.
“’She didn’t say it.’ If that’s the case. Go pull up one of Donald Trumps MAGA speeches and play it on a loud speaker in any predominantly Black or colored neighborhood. See if you get your ass beat. While they’re stomping you out. Just say ‘I didn’t say it’ to see if that helps,” he tweeted.
The woman’s clip may remind some of a separate situation involving another young white woman after she expressed fondness for not just one Black man but all of them.
“For all you chocolate men out there, who said it was okay to be that fine? That athletic? That sexy? So sweet,” that woman said in her video. “Wonderful personalities. Strong. Tough. Your lips. Your kisses and your hugs just hit different. Not too light, don’t like them too dark. I like them just right.”
The woman was pulverized online, accused of fetishizing Black men and being ultra creepy. Her comment about not liking “them too dark” was another comment that got her in trouble.
Rapper and actor Vince Staples responded to that woman by writing, “Porzingis trippin,” referring to Kristaps Porzingis, who plays for the Dallas Mavericks.
People cheered him for that response, just like they did Hunter when he reacted to the video that he’s in.
“YES King tell them,” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻,” someone wrote to Hunter on Twitter.
