Gina Rodriguez apologizes following backlash for saying the N-word
A video that Gina Rodriguez shared on her Instagram Stories is sparking backlash — because it sees the "Jane the Virgin" star repeating a racist slur. Rodriguez posted the clip on Tuesday. In it, she’s having her hair and makeup done as she raps along to the 1996 Fugees track “Ready or Not.” The actress, who is of Puerto Rican descent, follows Lauryn Hill’s lead as she repeats these lyrics: “I can do what you do, easy, believe me / Fronting n****s give me heebie-jeebies.” She then laughs and appears to look over at her makeup artist.
