I'm not surprised by this at all actually. This whole fiasco was a major trending topic across various media and news sites believe it or not. I thought Namie's addition to the song was unnecessary (
awful) but I personally don't think it was that big of a deal.
The various racist remarks I've seen were just downright
. A lot of hip-hop enthusiasts are not happy about the collaboration and the fact that Lisa Lopes's family is not on board doesn't help either.
The good news is, many people are now curious about Namie's music and some of them actually like some of her songs despite being in Japanese.
Like everything else in the news, this will blow over soon enough.
