The United States Census uses the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino to refer to “a person of Dominican, Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race”. We’re sick all the wanna- bes invading our culture! DaniLeigh is beautiful and talented, but not black.
We were rooting for DaniLeigh. She’s pretty like Beyonce, and dances better than Nicki Minaj. Dani is Dominican. She moved from Florida to Hollyweird following her dreams. She is a self trained dancer, who was discovered by Prince on YouTube. No telling what she did for Prince! He allowed her to direct and write the treatment for his 2014 song “Breakfast Can Wait” at age 18.
So what, she co-wrote J-Lo and Cardi’s Deniro. Who cares if she’s toured with Teyana Taylor and Jeremih? Danileigh’s viral charisma made it to Drake’s Keke video, but meanwhile… Is it okay for her to repeat ‘Nigga’ in her latest YouTube bop? Wussup with the braids?
Is DaniLeigh a Culture Vulture? Stealing the sound and dialect worked for Cardi, Pump, Bhad Bhabi, and Elvis. Now that Dani is ‘trappin’, will her music finally cross over to main stream? Is Hip Hop’s Culture for sale? Is Dani cute enough to rap and sing her way into your timeline?
