Netizens shared their reactions, adding how they weren’t surprised that Tarzzan said the “n-word” and how he should have been canceled before he debuted.

Yet, some fans pointed out that while Tarzzan has done cultural appropriation and problematic things in the past, they couldn’t hear the “n-word” being said.
he didn’t say it ? i know he did ca but i know how to differentiate that word with others, clearly he didn’t say that word. he messed up the lyrics “popping that boy i’m like a pac” so it heard that he said poyilillapac. he basically mumbled the lyrics https://t.co/WzYC7UQpz6
