Math Hoffa defended Fat Joe amidst criticism for his use of the n-word. Hoffa argued that the multicultural environment of New York, where various ethnic groups interact closely, makes the usage less controversial locally. He noted that in diverse neighborhoods, people across different races often share similar struggles, allowing for more flexible linguistic exchanges as long as it's within context and without malice.
Hoffa emphasized that using the n-word can be seen almost as a "badge of honor" among those who have shared the same hardships. However, he acknowledged that once this language reaches broader audiences via the internet, misunderstandings and offensives are inevitable. DJ Vlad, another prominent figure in the discussion, shared a contrasting perspective. He believes the word carries historically negative connotations and should be avoided by people who aren't Black.
