Snoh Aalegra didn't get canceled on Twitter over the N-word
Once things have entered the internet, they never disappear, and will likely resurrect to haunt you years later (remember your MySpace account? You know you do.) Swedish singer, Snoh Aalegra, may have never been heard of by many outside the Scandinavian country, but she's making headlines now for some pretty controversial reasons. Three years ago, a tweet addressed to the "Find Someone Like You" singer's friend, Sevn Thomas, stated, "The realest n***a alive."
Although used colloquially in the hip hop community amongst rappers, people on Twitter were not impressed to hear it coming from a Swedish singer with Persian heritage. As it turns out, however, the 32-year-old was not to blame. The tweet addressed to Sevn, was, in fact, him messing around and blowing his own trumpet from his friend's account. Haven't we all been caught out by leaving our social media accounts open, only for our mates to post something embarrassing while posing as us?!
