Yuqi is being cancel in twt for using aave in a wrong way on her new song, all that because cube posted on twitter the tiktok video of her dancing to it and now alot of non kpop fans black/white are talking about it, and let's be real the fans/kpop fans would not do anything since it's being like 2 weeks since the album is out and only now peole are talking, most of it is black people.
The poor girl are being dragged all because of her white song writers who don't know how to do it properly at least and she not being educated enough given that it's not her first language and she seems not totally good in english.
Isn't Soyeon and Gidle notorious for using ~questionable~ English and -isms anyway? You're talking like this is a first. I can't feel bad when that group has been pissing all over black culture and butchering English since debut.
Nah, this is the first time there’s been some bad AAVE usage from the group. Soyeon doesn’t use AAVE, her English is mostly awkward and cringe.
This is just coming from Yuqi. On clap is her solo song. Her song Rollie on their recent album was honestly worse with AAVE, but criticisms about it never blew up like this.
She’s credited last on lyrics for On Clap, so you could place more blame on the western writers. But Rollie she has first lyrics credit and that song is arguably worse with the AAVE butchering.
Both of those songs are her first attempt at writing hiphop music, and she’s not fluent enough in English to write those sorts of lyrics without mimicking what she probably hears in mainstream rap and hiphop from black artists. It’s unfortunate ignorance but 90% of her fans won’t care. Maybe she’ll see the backlash and think twice about how she writes, but I don’t have much faith in k-pop idols with that kind of stuff.
