If you’re going to call someone out in a song, at least get their name right.
Rapper Wale took a swipe at Blaze host Tomi Lahren in his new song « Smile, » mispronouncing her name as « Tammy Lauren. »
« On behalf of Charlamagne I’m sure he ain’t trading sides/Maybe I should meet TomiLahren, I’ll Lauryn Hill her/Trainor, she miseducated anyway/Prolly hate the color of my face, » Wale raps in the song.
The rapper is referring to Lahren’s appearance on « The Breakfast Club » with co-host Charlamagne where they discussed politics.
Lahren tweeted at Wale in response to the song.
I understand what a diss track is. Pretty sure @Wale just didn’t research the correct spelling & pronunciation of my first AND last name..
Wale responded, « Ok Tammy, » to which Lahren said, « Ok Whale. »
Lahren made headlines last year for her appearance on the « The Daily Show » host Trevor Noah where they spoke about the Black Lives Matter movement.
« When the Black Lives Matter movement is going out with signs saying ‘fry them like bacon, F the police,’ when they’re going saying ‘if you see a white person, target them,’ that is happening, Trevor, » Lahren said. « When that now becomes the narrative and you’re starting to loot, burn and riot, what did the KKK do? »
After several days of back-and-forth, the feud seemed to end when Noah sent the conservative talk show host cupcakes.
