Muni Long has sparked controversy following comments made in a TikTok video, where she stated: “It’s only ever Black women that say they don’t like my personality. I’m being myself, I’m acting just like your raggedy mama and your aunties, but it’s something wrong with my personality? Take a look in the mirror, you don’t like you.” These remarks led to criticism from fans, including TikTok user @NeverStopWithShari, who highlighted that Black women have been instrumental in supporting Long’s career, particularly with the success of her hit song “Hrs & Hrs.” In response, Long posted another video addressing the criticism, asserting her right to self-expression and stating: “Black women, it is okay to speak your mind and take up space, for you to assert yourself, for you to be kind instead of nice, for you not to keep taking the shirt off your back and giving it to the next man. You ain’t mammy. We don’t have to raise the world.” The exchange has ignited discussions on social media regarding support, accountability, and the dynamics between artists and their audiences.
