Da Brat and her wife Jesseca Harris-Dupart previously spoke on finding a sperm donor and commented on only being able to find one Black donor, who Da Brat referred to as “Jiminy Cricket.” The comment caused a stir and found the rapper facing backlash. Now, Da Brat has addressed the comment while on the ‘Tamron Hall Show.’
Da Brat and her wife Jesseca appeared on the show and said the comment made by the rapper was a joke that represented frustrations they both had while going through the process.
“We thought that when it got to the donor part, it would be a breeze. I didn’t think it would be offensive to anybody. I cracked jokes about almost everybody that I saw. That one just happened to make it into the show,” said Da Brat.
The rapper continued explaining her intentions behind the comment: "I wasn’t trying to be mean, or like, say anything negative about Black people. We were looking for a Black donor. We’re Black. We wanted a Black donor.” Da Brat concluded, saying, “It was just misconstrued and taken way out of context. I didn’t think it would bother anybody, or else, I would have taken it out.” Watch above.
