The 18-year-old singer can be seen talking in an accentuated Blaccent and utilizing AAVE slang in some resurfaced clips from an Instagram livestream earlier this year. https://t.co/NaZWoLkqdz

Olivia Rodrigo’s usage of AAVE is wrong and needs to change, but you can see other popstars’ stans doing the MOST out here trying to cancel her because she is clearly out-streaming their faves right now. She’s young and she can still change.

Olivia Rodrigo Is Being Accused Of Talking In A “Blaccent” And Using AAVE In These Resurfaced Videos And It’s Sparked Mixed Reactions
Olivia Rodrigo is currently at the center of discussion on Twitter, after some fans accused her of “constantly” using AAVE in a series of resurfaced clips that went viral on Wednesday.
In the resurfaced compilation, the “Drivers License” singer can be seen on various Instagram livestreams playfully interacting with her fans and using phrases central to African American Vernacular English, or AAVE.
She says things like “I be trending” and “emotional AF” while also adopting contractions common in AAVE such as “y’all” and “imma” and speaking in what is referred to as a “blaccent.”
It appears that the majority of the clips in the compilation were from earlier in the year, around the release of “Drivers License.”
As well as the video compilation, a thread of Olivia’s tweets from 2020 and early 2021 where she uses AAVE slang terms like “homegirl,” “crine,” and “yung” is also making the rounds on Twitter too.
When the resurfaced clips began circulating across social media, many fans were surprised and said that Olivia should “take accountability” for the appropriation, and “address” her past comments. – Source
