In a candid interview, rapper Afroman revealed his reasons for leaving Los Angeles, citing the increasing misuse of the N-word. While he expressed discomfort with Black people using the word, he was particularly perturbed by non-Black individuals casually saying it. Afroman emphasized his desire for respect, explaining, "What's wrong with me not wanting to be disrespected?" He differentiated between productive Black usage within the community and what he calls "self-proclaimed N-words"—those who misuse the term and invite disrespect from outsiders. Afroman lamented the loss of cohesive Black communities and expressed his vision to build an "anti N-word Afro-American community" where such derogatory language isn’t normalized. Faced with the widespread disrespect and constant exposure to the slur, he concluded that relocating away from LA was the only solution to preserve his peace, stating, "I'll fix that problem. I'll get out of the city. I'll go to the woods."
