So, this Wednesday past marked the beginning of the Lenten season and I have planned to do a special Lenten series on this blog. I know that you are probably hovering over that exit button, but it is not what you think. As a blog, we are going to go over toxic people that we need to cleanse ourselves during this Lenten season and hopefully after these forty days we don’t allow them back in our lives or our timeline. I want to kick off this series with the woman who inspired me to make it. The queen of uncontrollable teenagers herself Danielle Bregoli, also known as Bhad Bhabie. Bregoli came to us a the tender age of 13 when she appeared on Dr. Phil and muttered the infamous line “Catch me outside how ‘bout that!” sparking vine dances and challenges mimicking her mannerism that most agreed where laughable. However, somehow Danielle Bregoli has turned her 15 seconds of fame into a multi-million-dollar career. [how ‘bout that?] She has been featured on tracks with Megan the Stallion, NLE Choppa, Lil Baby, Tory Lanez, Ty Dolla Sign and even has a budding friendship with 5-time Grammy winner Billie Eillish. [Side note what is up some of these rape names? NLE Choppa? Comment down below with what you would want your rapper name to be.] In 2018, she was named on the top 25 most influence teenager list. So why do I believe we must cancel Bhad Bhabie. Put together all the worst attributes acquainted with black women and then paint it white and you have Bhad Bhabie.
For some that don’t understand what I mean let dive deep into how Bhad Bhabie maintains her fame. [I’ll give you a minute to guess. Okay minute over.] Constantly the rapper has found herself in the center of the drama, which did not exclude fighting other celebs and civilians on-camera, threatening to attack people, and cussing folks out online. “Essentially, Bregoli has been getting a pass or receiving praise for actions that would have different results if a Black person did them (Moore)” Over the summer Bregoli was called out for actions after she posted herself wearing single braids. Many viewers of the video said that Bregoli wearing the braids where cultural appropriation and made her look even more like a caricature of the black woman. Of course, the rapper did not take to the criticism quietly and replied back to her “haters” via Instagram story.

“To all the black females that are saying my hair anit [sic] meant for box Braids,” she started on Instagram stories. “Guess the f*ck what, y’all hair anit [sic] meant to be straight but y’all glue whole wigs on to your heads and sew brazilian/Indian/Peruvian hair which is anyhting [sic] like your natural hair texture at all and I don’t say a god damn thing neither do the other cultures that you get the hair from.”
She continues:
“I completely agree that it would b [sic] out of line and cultural appropriation if I was trashing black girls for wearing braids them [sic] getting them but that’s not the situation at all so leave me tf alone or imma start getting real disrespectful.” She ended her thoughts by saying ‘We all know I look fine asf with any hair style I do from any culture because I’m just that b*tch, I hope ya’ll bald headed hoes stay up all night thinking about this.”
Bregoli went on to post a video with her box braids along with the caption “I want to deeply apologize to everyone who’s life’s [sic] have seriously [been] effected [sic] by the way I wear my hair and from the bottom of my heart I wanted to tell you suck my d*ck.”
The disrespect that Danielle Bregoli had from the same people that she takes from didn’t cease. Recently, Bregoli has found herself in the center of another controversy after going on Instagram live and accusing actress Skai Jackson of being a “Disney thot” because of a comment under NBA Youngboy’s recent Instagram post by an account named @disneyprincess. In Bregoli Instagram live she threaten to kill Skai Jackson multiple times over the incident. After getting no immediate response from Skai Jackson herself she goes under Skai Jackson’s mother’s post. And to show how juvenilia this situation sounds their mothers begin to go back and forth with each other.
Hours later Skai Jackson filed for a restraining order for Bhad Bhabie given her past of actually trying to fight celebs and fans. Now if this is not a reason to cancel someone, I don’t know what is. But again, I am just stating the facts and you can decide for yourself who to cancel for lent.
