To continue her defense against the angry Twitter users she explained that she uses the n-word and many other racial slurs during all her comedy shows, but it shouldn’t be seen as offensive because it’s all in the nature of good fun. She went on to point out that even if she had used the “er” ending on the word, she was referring to her friend and it wouldn’t make any sense to be using degrading language against her. “The N-word ending in ‘er’ is far different context from the word ending in ‘a.’ Ask any person who knows the urban dictionary, it means ‘friend,’” Lisa said as she defended herself. “Me with my nigga of – I love this beyotch!!,” she wrote as the caption for the photo.įans may have been outraged, but Lampanelli found nothing wrong with the word even after she received the wave of backlash. While there was nothing controversial about the photo, the caption had the Twitterverse outraged. The famous comedian tweeted a picture of herself with her new pal Lena Dunham of the HBO show “Girls” having a fun night out together. With Lisa Lampanelli finding herself in hot water for using the world “nigga” in a tweet, the old “nigger” vs “nigga” debate is back in full effect.
