Tokyo Jetz Shares Teary-Eyed Apology For George Floyd Death Joke

Tokyo Jetz apologizes for the joke she made about George Floyd's death.

Tokyo Jetz knows she messed up and she's holding herself accountable for it.

Earlier today, the rapper was trending on social media because of an insensitive joke she made about George Floyd's death. Hanging out with her hairstylist, she put her arms around his neck in a chokehold and said: "I'ma George Floyd your muthafuckin’ ass."

Since the video started circulating, Tokyo Jetz deleted all of the content on her Instagram page and replaced it with a single apology, addressing her fans and anybody that was offended by her tasteless joke.

"I’m sorry, I messed up big time," she wrote on the post, realizing that she made a big mistake. "Nothing excuses what I’ve said and done, but I do really want everyone to know I’m not proud of it and sincerely apologize."

In the video, the Grand Hustle artist says that herself, her son, or anybody in her family could have been the victim of such a hate crime, speaking through tears and explaining that she does not expect anybody to justify her message. She also says that she is not releasing the video to make excuses for her behavior.

Tokyo Jetz Faces Backlash For Tasteless George Floyd Joke

Tokyo Jetz made a joke that she would "George Floyd" her hairstylist while on Instagram Live.

Our nation is in serious pain right now after the preventable deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless other people of color who have lost their lives to police brutality and racist attacks in the last several months. As protests intensify, people continue to be outraged over the treatment of people of color in the world. Nobody should be treated as though they are a second-rate human and the fight will not stop until everyone is considered equal. 

Tokyo Jetz, a rapper signed to Grand Hustle, is facing some major backlash for making insensitive comments on her social media channel, broadcasting her day on Instagram Live and playing around with her hairstylist. During the Live, the rapper put her hairdresser in a headlock and made the following joke: "I'ma George Floyd your muthafuckin’ ass."

George Floyd was killed last week after a since-fired police officer kneeled on his neck, restricting his airway for several minutes. He was suspected of using a counterfeit $20 bill.

"The fact that u could even say that... @REALTOKYOJETZ shit not a joke ! CANCELED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!," said one person.

A number of others are standing tall as critics pick her apart for mocking the death of George Floyd, especially when so many other celebrities and people in her position have been using their platforms to uplift people of color and protest in the streets.

What do you make of what she said?
