CNN’s Don Lemon brought rapper Slim Thug onto his show recently to discuss the word “thug.”
The sit down follows Lemon’s reporting of a video from Omaha, Nebraska where a toddler (dubbed ‘thug toddler’) is seen cursing out his parents (click HERE if you missed that).
Lemon piggybacks on the subject of the video to discuss the “thug cycle” and whether or not the term “thug” is racist.
Who better to ask about the word ‘thug’ than the guy who calls himself Slim Thug? The down south rapper revealed his perception of the word, as well as recounting his experiences with racism.
