James Charles Responds to Allegations That He Used Racial Slur in New Year's Eve Video

James Charles caused some controversy on social media when fans thought they heard him singing a derogatory word featured in the Saweetie song “My Type” on New Year’s Eve.

The 20-year-old beauty mogul posted videos of him singing the song on his Instagram Story, and fans quickly began wondering if he said the word as it wasn’t totally clear.

“my guy did u say the n word on ur insta story,” one Twitter user asked James.

James quickly responded and wrote back, “no? turn up the volume & listen, I skip over it. how stupid would I have to be to confidently record a video of me singing the n word and still have it up the next morning.”

James Charles was involved in a big controversy this year involving another celebrity YouTuber.
