When she thought all was good with doing such a video, Miss Hirayama got dragged for mocking coloured women in her insensitive video.
Lalla Hirayama‘s attempt at keeping her fans entertained during lockdown went south when a majority of the Coloured people took offense.
The TV presenter deleted the video of herself mimicking a Coloured woman singing an adapted version of ‘2 Legit 2 Quit’ by MC Hammer. Her parody of the old video received some major backlash, of which she then later deleted the video.
In the video she can be seen making ‘funny’ facial expressions and likened them to that of a Coloured woman. She was slammed for the stereotypical video against Coloured women for what social media dubbed a “cheap laugh”.
The IG video made its way to Twitter and the raged user posted the offensive video with the caption; “So when @Lalla_Hirayama run(s) out of ideas, she decides to make Coloured women the butt end of her pathetic jokes.”

Twitter was not impressed and called Lalla out on her disrespect to women.
There’s no wiggle room here. As a woman who’s not Coloured, you chose to jump on here and mimic Coloured women with the most harmful of stereotypes for laughs. This is gross and fucking violent even idc idc idc

The tik tok from Lalla is not cute or funny
We try in so many ways to not be caricatures and stereotypes.
She is neither Coloured, not that it would make it any better.
It’s vile and ugly. If you find it funny good for you and proceed to unfriend me.

Lalla went on to block the people who came after her and is yet to apologize for the derogatory video.
