Former reality star, Tila Tequila, explains why she can say the N-word after a friend told her to refrain from using the race sensitive word. She tweeted, "Someone I know who's obviously NOT from Houston told me I need 2 stop saying the N word." The 34-year-old explained that popular music gives her the pass on using the word, and references Nicki Minaj's "Looking' A** N****" single.

Although it's likely Tila was on her social media trolling duties, she explained to her 48,000 followers, "You can't expect people of all races 2 listen to popular music and not have the N word embedded into their heads..... but that's my opinion." She added, "Example: Nicki Minaj has a song where she says "N****" over 100 times and has violent gun visuals 2 the music video! What outcome did you expect?"
