ScHoolboy Q Retracts His Past Opinion Of White People Saying The N-Word: “I Was On Drugs”

ScHoolboy Q addresses a previous statement regarding the allowance of white individuals to use the N-word.

The TDE rapper shared a screenshot on X from Hanif Abdurraqib’s 2017 book “They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us,” featuring a chapter titled “ScHoolboy Q wants white people to say the word ‘n-gga’ at his concerts.” In the excerpt, Abdurraqib quotes an interview where Q expressed, “When the beat drops, I’ll expect y’all to say it. It’s not like I’m asking them to go out in the world and say it, but if they paid for a show and put food on my family’s table, I’m not going to be up there saying the word alone.”

Additionally, the author/poet also mentions a 2013 concert where the artist explicitly directed the predominantly white crowd to rap the n-word during his final two songs. Alongside the screenshot, ScHoolboy Q clarified his stance on the controversial topic, writing, “I was on drugs… no I don’t.”
