Tyga’s controversial video for “Ay Caramba” has inadvertently sparked a protest at Power 106 in Los Angeles. According to an Instagram post from film director Tariq Nasheed, a demonstration is being held on Wednesday (August 3) on 2600 West Olive Avenue in Burbank from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. PST.
“The community is #PullingUp outside #Power106 #radio station in #LosAngeles tomorrow (Weds. Aug. 3rd) to call them out for giving a platform to anti-Black racists,” he wrote in the caption. “If you are in #LA, everyone come thru.”
The radio station sparked ire from the Black community after they allowed American Cholo podcast host and former gang member Gil Tejada sit down with Tyga to discuss how the video was harmful to the Mexican-American population.
Tejada has habitually used disparaging language to describe Black people, including “ghetto c-on” and the N-word. Power 106 has since taken the interview down after several clips of Tejada using those terms were posted online by platforms such as No Jumper.
An anonymous source confirmed to HipHopDX, “Tyga released a racially insensitive video portraying a Chicano rapper in a low rider with tortillas falling from the sky. A well known Chicano YouTuber — ‘The American Cholo’ — responded with outrage and encouraged his followers to demand Tyga take the video down via an interview on Power 106 LA Leakers podcast.
“Tyga apologized and quickly took the video down. The next day several clips of ‘The American Cholo’ saying racial slurs re-surfaced and Power 106 took the video down without issuing an apology to the Black community hence the protest at the station on August 3.”
In fact, dozens of Mexican-Americans showed up at the No Jumper studio and demanded host Adam22 remove an allegedly edited video he posted of Tejada using the N-word (with a hard -er), sparking a conflict between the Latino and Black communities. A clip of the confrontation is currently making the rounds that shows Tejada and Bozo telling him to take it down.

As for Tyga, he decided to remove the “Ay Caramba” video from the internet entirely. During Power 106’s since-deleted interview with Tejada, he offered an apology to anyone he offended.
“When I dropped the video, I wasn’t in L.A., I was in Europe,” Tyga began. “And then I started seeing a lot of people offended by it and I was kinda confused. That’s why I didn’t respond. I tried to do my research a little bit. I tried to ask a lot of the people that I grew up with that are Mexican.”
Tyga Apologizes To Mexican-American Community For 'Ay Caramba' Video
He continued, “At the end of the day, I’m not Mexican, so I can’t say what Mexicans are offended by or not. But I know I had no intentions of offending anybody. For one, I want to apologize to the Mexican community and my fans that are Mexican. I have a lot of Latin fans that are Puerto Rican, Dominican, that probably weren’t offended by this video. But my Mexicans fans in L.A., there definitely was some that were offended.”
People under 30 are so fucking stupid with their sensitivity BS. Where did they learn that shitt from anyways ? Not from us older folks nearing 50. We aint taught yall how to be pussies that are offended by everything. Yall should focus that energy on getting money instead of being social media justice warriors. Honestly the people with the money dont care about this type of BS. Stop trying to get words in songs deleted and cancelling 100 year old logos of food products and sports teams. Its fucking corny. If the so called “victims” dont give a fuck, stop trying to speak on their behalf. Let all this BS go and watch how much respect you will gain from the so called gatekeepers.
I agree with you. You also got people in there who may not even agree with the song being offensive. Just feeding off the drama this all brings. As well as the feeling of power of getting people’s careers ruined, or changing lyrics (like what happened to Beyoncé). These people likely don’t have control of anything in their normal lives so they control other people through fake outrage.
American Cholo isn’t Mexican.
He’s Hispanic?
Only certain foos can fly green, white, and red.
Karen ass black people.
Tariq is a fukcing racist prick. The irony is rich. Fukc him and any of his supporters
