Rapper creates 4.1M dance trend on TikTok mockin.g Asia, Jennie responds indirectly

Doechii is currently the most notable female rapper in the US-UK music scene. Anxiety, a song from the extended version of the mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, is a "hit" that neither Doechii nor her fans expected.

Inspired by the silly dance from the iconic TV series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Anxiety created a strong wave of cover dancers on the TikTok platform, with more than 4.1 million videos using the song's background music. After nearly 2 months of release, the names Doechii and Anxiety still show no signs of cooling down.

Fame comes with scanda.l, Doechii recently faced a series of suspicions of racism surrounding her. It is known that the video was posted 12 years ago, when the owner was only 15 years old. At that time, Doechii was a vlogger on YouTube, often posting content about the life of a teenage gir.l. Through a clip from a video, Doechii showed her voice and pronunciation that were said to mimic Asians in a negative way.

There has long been a stereotype that Asians often speak English incorrectly, lack fluency, or have incorrect accents. Therefore, Doechii was accuse.d of deliberately insulting and satirizing Asians. Netizens felt both confused and angry because she herself is a person of color, part of the "vulnerable" community and has been discriminated against for a long time. Yet, the female rapper made fun of Asians, applying the same offensive formula that the black community has been fightin.g for to gain equality and respect.

Amidst the rising wave of criticism, Jennie, who seemed unrelated, was harshly called out. Recently, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa were accuse.d of using racist words during their pre-debut period as BLACKPINK - specifically, using a heavily racist slang term for people of color.

Recently, videos recorded from the period before BLACKPINK officially debuted (before 2016) were leaked online, showing the 3 members singing and rapping cover songs such as Swimming Pools (Kendrick Lamar) or 2 On (Tinashe) containing the sensitive word N*****. These videos are said to be from YG Entertainment's internal evaluation or audition sessions.

Social media users, especially the international community, expressed outrage, saying that the use of the word was unacceptable, especially when Jennie and Rosé grew up in an English-speaking environment (Jennie lived in New Zealand, Rosé was born and raised in New Zealand and Australia). Some comments emphasized that they should be aware of the historical meaning and offensiveness of the word.

Although all three used the banned word, Jennie was the one who "took the blame" because she collaborated with Doechii on the song ExtraL, from her debut album Ruby. Having received a storm of compliments for their harmony and extreme slay, the collaboration between the two famous young female rappers from two music markets is now being ridiculed. Jennie and Doechii are being considered a "troublemaking duo", "hurt people who want to hurt others"... because they both have a racist past. Doechii's old video is still being shared on social media platforms and the discussion is still increasing.

Doechii's real name is Jaylah Ji'mya Hickmon, born on August 14, 1998 in Tampa, Florida, USA. The female rapper comes from a family where her father and brother are both rappers, so she was expose.d to Hip-hop from a young ag.e. When she was in high school, Doechii set her sights on the Howard W. Blake School of the Arts, which opened the door for the young gir.l to ballet, singing, cheerleading, and gymnastics.

Jennie responds to the title "pick-me gir.l" with a series of photos that couldn't be "cooler"?
