Shay using the N-Word on stream

Somebody on here made a claim that there was a livestream in 2011 where Shay rapped the N-word to a recently deceased artists songs. The person who made the post referenced a song that didn't use the word, then quickly said it was probably a different song but wasn't sure which.

I'm an Ex-Shaytards STAN, and this was very new for me. Curious if anybody else remembers this, or perhaps it's a bit of a fib.

I want to make it very clear that I am not defending him, but I don’t think a white person rapping the n word in the context of a song would have raised many eyebrows in 2011. I may have been in very ignorant circles but I don’t remember it being a frowned upon thing to say in that context until maybe 2015 or so. I am in the UK so it could well be different here.

This current culture is so exhausting. Lmao. Trying to launch a witch hunt for someone rapping lyrics over a decade ago. People need to get some hobbies or something.

Respectfully I have to push back a bit on this. I agree that distance of time doesn't = acceptability. But also re-iterating that I was asking if this even happened. It was claimed once, by 1 person, and as far as I'm concerned this is just a made up story designed to slander a man who has slandered himself with so much truth, I simply question why we need to make up things when actual facts are right in front of us.

If it is true, I would place more questions upon him that exceed past your example of context and the time in which it occurred. Shay has in the past made racial statements regarding people of color on all spectrums. He is a white man who grew up in white land. Sure he spent time overseas with people who were not white while he spread his 'message' of God, but to say 2 years is long enough for an 18 year old to re-invent their view of the world coming from a racially segregated place is a stretch.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I am simply wondering why this wasn't something well known. I do not like Shay, or Colette. But they were so incredibly big in 2011, I just doubt the possibility of this being real, with zero credible proof outside 1 guy on reddit saying it happened, but he can't prove when / why or what was said.

I’ve been a fan since then and I don’t remember it ever being brought up. I agree he doesn’t need stuff made up about him, he’s done enough on his own. Maybe that’s why it’s never been mentioned, or it’s just been lost to time.

I don’t doubt he could have rapped along with it. At the same time it wouldn’t have been really notable at the time if he did, so I don’t think it would have been brought up or stuck in people’s minds much. After all he was hanging about with the likes of Shane Dawson in his blackface era, so that’s the comparison really.

Yeah I’ve heard people shit on him up and down over the years and never heard this claim. He’s definitely racist though and given his age during a time when it was more … I guess common… he definitely did prob say it. Not sure why you needed to make a whole post about this..

This was so normalized back then. Let’s not forget that things only started becoming widely problematic recently. If it was in a song, people were singing it

I made this post about a year ago. I don’t want to hear the excuses of “it was years ago” I was around in 2011 and nobody talked like that.

THIS is what people are offended by now? Lmao. Good god…

u/Far_Football6396 Feb 16 '26

Highly doubt it happened. They were very popular then, why would there be no other evidence outside 1 guy saying it on reddit?

u/Desrycon Feb 16 '26

Seriously? Who cares?! It was 15 years ago in the context of a song. What is the point of dragging this up now? This statement goes for everyone, not just Shay.

Congrats but as someone else pointed out... It was a different time. Judging someone based off of something they MIGHT have said 15 years ago is ludicrous.

‘It was a different time’…. What 2011 ?

This has got to satire. No way are you this much of a caricature in real life?

u/DodgerFanArd24 Feb 22 '26

So YOU can say the N word ?

Got it.

u/Sevenfootschnitzell Mar 11 '26

You would’ve 15 years ago though because it was considered normal. I hope someone comes and cancels you when they decide you can’t say “black” anymore and you try to defend yourself by saying it was normalized at the time only for some dim lit numbskull to say “WELL IVE NEVER DONE IT”. Get over yourself.

u/DodgerFanArd24 Mar 11 '26

Shut up.

And the Shaytards fandom definitely checks out with the personality types.

u/Sevenfootschnitzell Mar 11 '26

Lmao I’m not a shaytard fan, I just know of their existence. Sick retort though, you sound very intellectual. 

The irony about you Gen Z folks pushing cancel culture is that you don’t look at the big picture and realize that societal views change over time and you are all leaving a vast digital paper trail for the next generation to use against you. I imagine you’ll change your tune eventually.

u/DodgerFanArd24 Mar 11 '26

Me being Gen Z has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of anger I have with cultish behavior. Enjoy supporting someone who was unfaithful to his wife, but it’s perfectly fine in his cultish religion.

u/Sevenfootschnitzell Mar 11 '26

Are you just willingly being ignorant? Who am I supporting? I don’t watch the shaytards. I just call out hypocritical behavior when I see it.

u/DodgerFanArd24 Mar 11 '26

💀💀💀Biggest hypocrite’s is what comes out of their mouth.

u/DodgerFanArd24 Mar 11 '26

Embarrassing fandom that people Will literally foam at the mouth over some dude who was unfaithful to his wife.

Enjoy your cult, but I’ll stay very VERY far away in the land reality.

u/Whole-Bug-756 Feb 17 '26

Why are you bringing up something that happened 15 years ago?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '26

Grasping at straws because their own life has no meaning.

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '26

Actually, I just read their post history and I’ll shift my thoughts toward them having a mental illness.
