In a candid conversation with VladTV, rapper Tony Yayo opened up about his feelings on the use of the N-word, particularly when white people say it around him. While Tony acknowledges that the word is frequently used among Black people—sometimes even jokingly or competitively—he makes it clear that he does not appreciate white individuals using the term in his presence. “I’m not rocking with it,” he said, though he admitted that sometimes the word might “slip out” unintentionally.
Tony also reflected on how music transcends racial barriers globally, explaining that in countries like Germany, Ukraine, and Russia, the shared language of hip-hop often breaks down walls. Still, he emphasized that music’s unifying power doesn’t grant anyone the “right” to use the N-word casually. Ultimately, Tony Yayo balances understanding cultural complexities with a firm stance on respect and boundaries related to this sensitive issue.
