Chet Haze came under extreme scrutiny after using the n-word in a Instagram video, and Tom Hank's rapper son explained that he feels he has the right to use the word at certain times. 

The L.A.-born entertainer told his Instagram followers, "Look, I know the majority of y'all are not going to get this, because the history is still so fresh in our country, but Hip-Hop isn't about race. It's about the culture you identify with. And can't no one tell me what I can't say." 

He later shared another video, telling fans that he would never go up to a stranger and say something like, "what's up my n***a," and Chet added that the use of the word "is an unspoken thing between friends who understand each other."
