Weekly sat down recently for a first-ever interview with V-Nasty, where she defended her use of the word, but also vowed not to use it in lyrics anymore.
But she did say she would continue to use it in conversation with her friends. In Oakland it doesn't matter," she explained. But her use of the word has caused a massive uproar. The L. Weekly's Shea Serrano called her an "ignorant broad," which is an interesting way to put things, being that "broad" is itself a rather offensive and derogatory word.
The Haterazzi Radio Show podcast delivered a particularily scathing opinion, not of V-Nasty but of the rap world's culture that led to it, and called her "living, breathing proof that hip hop is dead. I repeat, hip hop is dead, and you are the ghost. The critique acknowledged that the word does not mean the same thing to this generation that it did 50 years ago, which is something V-Nasty says as well. She was born about the same year N.
The podcast said the African-American rap world has no right to be upset by her use of the word because it is the one that normalized its use in everyday language. Just don't.

She stops before the door to the bathroom: "You know how a prairie dog kind of pops his head out and then pops it back in? But in May, when she posted her "Gucci Gucci" video on Twitter, it exploded like a corn kernel hitting hot oil. After two weeks, it had garnered 2 million views.
In a month it was up to nearly 5 million hits, and Columbia reportedly offered her a seven-figure record deal.

And weird-girl ethos is popular right now. Think of how Christian songstress Katy Perry was rebranded as a blue-haired, girl-kissing, firework-boobed rocker chick or how Lady Gaga is Lady Gaga.
