Rubi Rose has said she’s okay with non-Black people being able to use the n-word provided it’s not used with “malicious intent.”
The Atlanta rapper appeared on Adrian Ross’ Twitch channel on Monday (August 8), where she mistook the popular streamer as a light-skinned Black man. When Ross clarified he was white, he then began to ask Rose if that meant he could use the n-word.
“I’m personally OK with anybody saying it, as long at their intent isn’t to be rude,” Rubi said alongside several others Black men in the group stream. “Because I’m sure, Adin, you love Black people. You have a lot of Black people on your channel, you love Black music, probably.”
She continued: “So, as long as the person isn’t saying it with malicious intent, personally, ’cause I have like Mexican homegirls and white homegirls who be saying it, I don’t care about other people. We’re friends and they are cool with it.”

Rubi Rose’s comments have drawn ire from the internet, with many people taking to Twitter to adamantly disagree with her.
“Dear White Folk,” one user wrote. “Just know Rubi Rose was speaking for herself and herself only. Do not go around saying n-gga because she said it’s ok.”
Another added: “Rubi rose pretty but got 2 teaspoons of brain just floating in her head cause girl what.”
Rubi Rose’s latest comments come after a UK Wu-Tang fan was fined £500 over the weekend for using the n-word while rapping the lyrics to the group’s debut single “Protect Ya Neck.”
According to The National, Kyle Siegel, a 25-year-old white man from Norgaet, Lerwick, was recording himself rapping the 1993 song for TikTok while standing in a women’s bathroom stall, which unbeknownst to him housed a mixed-race woman one stall over.
Siegel admitted to using the word during a hearing at Lerwick Sheriff Court; he was ordered to pay the fine plus an extra £20.
Roddy Ricch received some similar flak earlier this summer for encouraging the mostly-white crowd at London’s Wireless Festival to sing the lyrics to his diamond hit “The Box,” n-word and all.
People on social media were quick to comment on a video of the moment that showed a heavily-white crowd rapping lyrics like “suck a n-gga soul.”
“Many a n-gga was sung, nary a n-gga was seen,” someone tweeted while another said: “Ya’ll really thought all them white ppl in that Roddy Ricch performance weren’t gonna say ‘n-gga’? At this point i don’t even cringe when i hear stuff like that, it’s just expected…smmfbbh.”
Check out some of the Rubi Rose responses below:
The title says “non-white people”, but the entire article is about her giving a pass to white people. Lol get your shit together, y’all sloppy af.
Not sure why being okay with people using a word within a certain context would make someone “unintelligent.” Having high blood pressure because you get SO worked up over one single English word seems a bit more unintelligent.
The N-word is strange. It’s a racist term that is reappropriated as an all purpose noun by black people under the pretense of taking the power away from it, yet they lose their minds if it’s used by anyone else regardless of the context, whether it’s quoting as part of a song or statement or used as a term of endearment. The fact is that ANYONE can use the word and context IS important.
Tell u what I want a white person to call me the N word or say it around me it’ll b the last word coming out of their mouths
Look at this fucking clown making threats lol. Keep your wet dreams about beating up white people to yourself. You ain’t gonna do shit, nerd ass bitch.
Acting tough on a website comments section is corny, that already tells me you’re soft. The fact that was all you could come up with as a reply also tells me you’re too stupid to engage with.
That is what we refer to as “black fragility”. I don’t think any other race of ppl worldwide have a single word that would trigger them to start acting like a total savage.
she ain’t do nun wrong but state her opinion bruh
Non-Black people don’t listen to this brain-less broad she gonna mess around and get your dome piece smashed around ninjas. If you’re not Black don’t say it around me, because I don’t say certain words around other ethnic groups just because they say it. I stay in my lane like we all should.
You’re not black. I’ll say whatever you want and you won’t do shit. Idiot.
Technically everyone migrated out of Africa so everyone is black.
Are you a retard lol? The alleged fact that all of humanity came from one continent many thousands of years ago doesn’t mean we are all black. Black is a shade. It’s an appearance feature. I think you mean to say humanity originated in Africa. And people migrated, following the food sources. And due to the migration, living through ice ages, different food sources. Etc, we look different. So no, not everyone is black lmao. It’s like saying “technically everyone has brown eyes, because blue eyes never used to exist until a genetic deformity took off”.
You just proved his point. When people migrated after thousands of years in the ice age, different climates, etc they lost their melanin. You basically just admitted how it happened but say its not true? That doesn’t make sense.
Well to be even more of a retard there were civilizations before Africa but thats neither here or there (pusha t voice) yukkkkkkkk
The so called “out of Africa” myth has been debunked long time ago. Lookup New York post article “Fossil discovery delivers blow to ‘Out of Africa’ theory” for example.
who hates black people the most? blacks.
FUCK US GRANT
Why get mad? How about admit it’s true and work to change things. If black people didn’t hate black people the most, then why would the overwhelming majority of black victims be at the hands of black killers? If black on black violence stopped tomorrow, over 75% of all black murder victims… wouldn’t. Be. Killed.
to US Grant: i hope that you get pancreatic cancer… officer
Don’t listen to these foolish women.
when Nas forgives Eminem by explaining that you women and men are all humans, amd all humans stem from Africa, then no one as much as batches an eye.
When a woman tries to do the literal exact same thing, all of a sudden, everyone freaks tf out.
Yall mothers must be proud of yall.
Well, it’s probably because they’re too busy “batching” their eyes. SMH. Try to speak English correctly when coming across as profound. Dummy.
We know intelligence isn’t what guys see in her
Adrian Ross is not white. He’s a small hat. That’s why Rubi mistook him as non white too..
