    Can I ask where in the world you live? Not to be rude but just that I’m curious because this is one of those things that “everyone knows” in the US at least. Can’t listen to a lot of rap music without hearing it a lot!

      Coming from a non anglo culture let me tell you, that debate about the use of the n-word doesn’t go the same way everywhere because the historic background is vastly different…

      The only country where it had these historical negative connotations is the USA, so he might be from literally any other country on earth

        There are countries that are probably more aware of the connotations through their connection to the US, I figured.
