Posted by Joey - April 24, 2009

A little more than two years after Don Imus dubbed the Rutgers University Women’s Basketball team “Nappy headed hoes”, controversy is brewing over a message posted to Asher Roth’s twitter page Thursday night.

“Been a day of rest and relaxation, sorry twitter – hanging out with nappy headed hoes”

He was scheduled to perform at the school that night. He seems to have apologized in another post, but all posts from him regarding the incident have since been deleted. Here are a few initial reactions from other twitter users after the jump…

    Asher Roth’s statement is here-by approved by the congregation of pimperation

    His whole fanbase of hoes with nappy hair is officially out the window though

    Asher Roth was caught slippin I’m not sure if he meant it in a racist way(don’t know dude) But gotta wonder why he would post it to twitter for the world to see if it was meant to be racist.

    who cares? Don Imus directed that line to a certain group of women…Asher didn’t. I know nappy headed dominican hoes, nappy headed puerto rican hoes, shit even kink haired white hoes….it was def. immature on his end, but ppls dont make such a big deal out of it…

    I bet if Joe Budden or N.O.R.E straight up wrote “Fuck white people” it would never get mentioned. Oh well.

    Asher Roth is a Wordsmith a Motha F*cking lyrical Genius Hahahahaha.

    Dude tried making an obvious historical and geographical play on words with the only thing the Rutgers wack ass school is note able for.

    Embrace hiphop.

  21. Jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj April 24, 2009 @ 8:03 am

    That one lady on the Jaime Foxx radio show called Miley Cyrus “that little white bitch”. This happened about a week ago. Why no comment onsmash??? Racist much???

  22. Dmack April 24, 2009 @ 8:06 am

    It will be fine anyway because there’s no video evidence of him doing it so they can just say it was hacked/wasn’t him etc since the apology was taken down too..

  23. Dante from The Bronx April 24, 2009 @ 8:12 am

    “I bet if Joe Budden or N.O.R.E straight up wrote “Fuck white people” it would never get mentioned. Oh well.”

    If that happened its up for White People to speak up. Most of the time they pay it no mind to it.

    But if you are a up and comming white rapper why leave room for any negative translation of what you meant to say?

    The fuk up part of this is that people don’t give a fuk about asher callin women hos but that he called them nappy headed wow… By the way did anyone check to see if the hos he was hanging out with was nappy he could had been actually been tellin the truth lol

  25. ill will April 24, 2009 @ 9:10 am

    lmaoo

    fuck asher roth woulda thought he’d learn from imus but honestly if it was a joke and all in all he should have stood his ground and not deleted it like a bitch

  28. ShizD April 25, 2009 @ 4:54 am

    I honestly don’t care enough about the shit comin outta dude mouth. Being a college grad, dudes like Asher are a dime a dozen, he was just the lucky one that got noticed.

    Its like gettin mad at some kid from the debate team, just laugh it off.

    Im just mad that hiphop is being oversaturated by these geeky mp3 sharin’-guitar hero playin-pink sweater wearin’ almost college dropouts.

    Asher Roth, Charles Hamilton..sit down.

  29. fuck niglins April 27, 2009 @ 3:52 am

    this is all a bunch of bullshit the nappy headed hoes just need to sit down and realize they ARE nappy ehaded hoes so people with talent arn’t getting bullied around by the media.. fuck nappy headed hoes
