This weekend, radio personality Fatman Scoop was called into the Diary Room of Celebrity Big Brother U.K. to get told off for his use of the n-word.
The rapper had used the word repeatedly during a conversation with James Hill, a former Apprentice U.K. candidate, about rap music and how music has changed the way people view the n-word and how it is used.
“N***** is not a race. It’s a mentality. It’s the way you act, it’s the way you behave, it’s the way you carry yourself… it’s not a race… and at the same time, since we’re talking about this, let’s get deeper,” Scoop said during the conversation.
“There are different classes of n*****. You can be like, ‘yo, what’s happening, n****, what’s going on? You good? You good? You cool? Yo, you my n****’, and it’s like that. Then there is, n*****… ‘you’re a n*****’, which is really racist, racist, racist. It’s how you say it to me – the voice, the inflexion, everything.”
After that, Scoop was called to the Diary Room and reminded by Big Brother that he is not supposed to use offensive language on the show.
“While Big Brother understands the context of the conversation, we need to remind you of the conversation we had with you before you entered the house. That word will be seen as offensive to some viewers so we ask you not to refrain from using it.”
