Asher Roth Stirs Controversy With ‘Nappy Headed Hoes’ Tweet

Published 04/24/2009

2009-04-25 - Asher Roth Asher Roth, the white rapper with the buzzing "I Love College" single, stirred up some controversy Thursday (April 24), when he pulled a Don Imus.

The rapper, via his Twitter page, made a "nappy headed hoes" joke, and some didn't take it that way.

While attending a Rutgers University event Thursday night, Roth made a controversial comment, and then later retracted it.

"At Rutgers stirring up a ruckus," he wrote. "Been a day of rest and relaxation, sorry Twitter -- hanging out with some nappy headed hoes."

Check the screenshot (Props NahRight).

He later apologized -- "Totally just making fun of Don Imus - Sorry Scoot, not trying to be offensive ... I'm extremely apologetic to anyone who took offense to my immature, bad joke."

But, the apology didn't matter to some. XXL blogger, BOL, writes that he didn't care either way, he just wants "to see angry black women throwing a fit, and cracka-ass crackas copping a plea."

You can read BOL's full rant over at XXLMag.com.

As far as Asher Roth's comment, and subsequent apology, both have been removed from his Twitter page as of press time.

RELAX everybody! It was a joke, Its obvious hes not racist. But then you have this hypocrity punk mof**ker saying “cracka-ass crackas”. He needs to get smacked in his mouth for sending the bad message not Asher. I dont know a single person that is racist in any way, and the fact that it still gets brought up……….BOGGLES ME. Props on the new album Mr. Roth, its dope.

I know enough about Asher Roth to know that he was just bullsh*ttin’ and making a joke. I don’t know if his album is dope or not, but I’m 100% sure that the dude was just poking fun at the whole Imus deal since he’s white, too. Plus, only a f*ckin’ idiot would think he was being serious…

Philly-O - April 25, 2009 at 1:38 pm

Oh yeah, and how is “cracka-ass crackas” any better??? Talk about some hypocritical BS…

Exactly. If you want to talk racism this BOL douchbag is worse. Asher Roth made an off-hand comment and quickly apologized whereas this BOL clown took the time to write a long ass rant about it and included “cracka-ass crackas”.

Ah, another white rapper apologizing after dissing black women. I remember eminem did the same thing TWICE.

kinglaw - April 28, 2009 at 6:26 pm

Whos cares if it was a joke. If he said your mother was a b*tch would be ok if later said he was just joking??

Crazed - April 30, 2009 at 7:38 pm

Honestly, the NHH’s comment didn’t phase me because I knew it was coming from a place of humor and sarcasm. If anything, he was making fun of Don Imus, you idiots. But what is NOT cool is the dirt some blogger posted about Roth stealing ideas from another artist. NOT COOL ASHER.

proverbs 26 18-19

“Like a madman shooting firebrands or deadly arrows is a man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”

so yeah anyway–if you’re shooting arrows expect people to attack back, and/or for you to cause damage. duh.
