Hol’ Up! Rapper Logic Sparks Reactions For Saying N-Word While Showing Off His Dad Online

The conversation was sparked after Logic shared a video on social media of him and his father, who is Black, simply hanging out.

The 33-year-old rapper, who was born and raised in Maryland, asked his pops to share a word of advice for viewers. His father responded by succinctly imploring fans to “keep it real.”

In turn, Logic responded by placing further emphasis on his dad’s message, and he told viewers, “Keep it real all the time, n***a, you know what it is!”

As Logic’s upload circulated online, people their opinions on how the “Self Medication” biracial rapper was now “proudly dropping” the N-word.

The bulk of the backlash came as a result of Logic appearing to be white-passing to some fans, as they felt as though he didn’t have the right to use the term.

Why is he forcing the necessity to say the N-word????

What’s the obsession for? That’s the white about him in the first place. Because it’s only white people who get obsessed about the ability to say it

It’s something about proving that you “can say nigga” that means you shouldn’t say nigga Lmfao https://t.co/WP4qkCiVma

In fact, some Twitter users went as far as to allege that Logic’s own father was “barely” able to drop the N-word.

Additionally, it was humorously noted that “showing off your Dad that’s wearing an Eminem fit isn’t helping.” Oop!

Lastly, Logic referring to his father as “daddy” rather than “pops” or “dad” also found its way into the conversation.

you know how i know he ain’t black?

he said “hey daddy” a nigga would have said “aye pops”

He said daddy, not dad or pops. He's never beating the allegations I fear

However, not everyone was bashing Logic, and it was even proclaimed that “at least Logic got that [Black] card in him,” unlike other rappers who use the N-word.

This Logic hate/attack is weird like I said.

Drake – Black/White & says N Word
J Cole – Black/White & says N Word

Where is that energy for them?? 🤔 https://t.co/3isJQkiEfL

We should also add that Logic hasn’t acknowledged the conversation surrounding the matter, though he eventually posted a photo from the same meet-up and proclaimed, “So glad my father finally got to meet his grandson.”
