Saweetie clapped back at a fan on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday after they made a joke about her enjoying the impacts of colorism in society. They had written: "I bet Saweetie wakes up every morning, brushes her teeth, looks in the mirror, and thanks God for colorism." Saweetie didn't find any humor in the remark and eventually vented about the situation in response. The user has since made their account private.
"Yikes, tasteless humor," Saweetie wrote back. "Nothing witty or clever about this whatsoever. Matter of fact, joking about a serious psychological battle is never funny. If you don’t agree with my art that’s fine, but don’t identify me with a behavior that condones discrimination. Because I don’t. thanks." She also reposted a statement from another fan who wrote: "Joking about serious issues like colorism isn’t funny at all. It’s harmful and perpetuates stereotypes."
