James Charles is accused of using n-word

It was only the second day in the new year, but the American internet personality James Charles (20) has once again made himself unpopular among his fans. They accuse him of having used the n-word and have therefore decided to boycott him.

The fuss started when Charles himself posted a video on his Instagram Story, in which he sang along with a rap song by the black musician Saweetie. The n-word is used several times, and the YouTuber sings along loudly. Immediately afterwards others posted the video on Twitter, and the hashtag #JamesCharlesIsOverParty started to trend.

James decided to respond to the incident on his own Twitter. A fan who asked if he had used the word, got the answer: “No? Turn up the volume and listen, I skip the word. How stupid would I be if I filled a n-word film full of confidence use, and that you will still be online the next morning. “
