Slayyyter posts handwritten apology letter for past racist tweets
tweeted out a handwritten note to her followers apologizing for her use of racial slurs in past tweets from 2012 and 2013. "Happy belated new year and new decade, yes I am alive, and just wanted to speak again on some things," the note read. "I wanted to say again that I am sorry to all of my black followers, supporters, friends and colleagues for these tweets of me using the n-word from 2012-2013.
Slayyyter continued, saying that she learned shortly after writing the tweets that "no non-black person ever has a pass to say that word in any context whatsoever" and that she has spent the past seven years not saying the N-word at all. "I am not racist, I have made mistakes during my adolescent years, but I have made active strides to do better since then," she wrote.
To close out her note, Slayyyter said she would be removing some of her upcoming tour dates and festival appearances to "do some self-reflection and regrouping" and that her vinyl and CD sales would now be going to charity organizations who support the black LGBTQ community. "I promise to use my platform to uplift black artists and creatives in this pop scene that still majorly lacks diversity," she wrote.
