Akala offered up his thoughts on the use of the n-word during a recent interview with VladTV, and the U.K. rapper revealed that he has chosen to use the term no longer. He also added that the term is highly influenced from the U.S., and Akala says he encounters white people in different countries that think it’s okay to say the n-word when they speak to him.

During the conversation, Akala also spoke about why Jamaicans don’t say the n-word in their music, which segued into talk about slavery. Akala revealed an unknown fact to DJ Vlad, as he told him that majority of the slaves were taken to Brazil and the Carribean, not the U.S.

Check out more of what Akala had to say during the interview, including stereotypes of black people that he sees in hip-hop.
