No, it wasnt even an Instagram Live slipup.
Rodriguez shared a video of herself rapping along to the Fugees song Ready or Not.
The word appears only once in the three-minutes- and-47-seconds-long song, yet its the sole focus of the video.
I just wanted to reach out and apologize, she said.
I love Lauryn Hill and I really am sorry if I offended you.
She doesnt mention the word specifically, and she doesnt directly address black people.
This video comes a few months after Rodriguez had a similar reaction to beingcalled anti-blackearlier in 2019.
So to get anti-black is saying that Im anti-family, she said on Sway in the Morning this January.
My father is dark-skinned, hes Afro-Latino …
If anything, the black community is my community.
Watching my own video playing back at me, has shaken me to my core.
