What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News and Noah Schnapp posted an apology after a
controversial video of him re-surfaced on Twitter causing #NoahSchnappIsOverParty to
trend.
But his apology statement may have just made things worse…
Alright, so we all know that we are in a time where we are holding each other accountable
for past mistakes and hopefully learning and growing from them.
And when it comes to celebrities, sometimes they are held accountable by trending on Twitter,
like Stranger Things star, Noah Schnapp is currently experiencing.
Here’s how we got there.
A 2019 video of Noah resurfaced on Twitter and Noah is in the car with some friends singing
Lil Dicky’s song Freaky Friday.
And if you’re familiar with the first verse of that song, you know that Lil Dicky drops
the N word over 10 times in a row.
It was controversial when Lil Dicky sang it, and fans definitely were triggered to see
15 year old Noah singing along with the song.
“Wondering if I can say the N word, can I really say the N word?
What up my ***** What up, my *****? Big ups, my *****, we up, my *****. You p*ssy a*s *****”
The video of Noah raked up more than a million views in the less than 12 hours and he quickly
started to trend on Twitter.
People shared their thoughts on this video from last year with one fan writing “another
celebrity canceled for saying the n word???
like how hard is it to just not say a word #noahschnappisoverparty”
Another fan chimed in tweeting quote, “literally cant trust any white men im so disappointed
wtf #noahschnappisoverparty”
While this person tweeted “How can y’all just not say ONE WORD it’s not hard ppl
#noahschnappisoverparty”
Amid all this Twitter backlash, Noah took to his Instagram stories to post an apology
where he denied saying the n-word.
He wrote quote, “Hi guys.
Recently a video from last summer has gotten out of me dancing and singing a song while
singing the word ‘neighbor’ over the n word.
i would truly never say the n word and i’m not the type of person.
I genuinely have never used that word in my life.
using the word ‘neighbor’ in that song was just something my camp friends and i did.”
Noah went on saying “I hope you all understand i could never even think about doing that.
my friends also would never post a video, or support me, if i was saying that slur without
hesitation.
i apologize for using a replacement word.
it is not my place to use one and i should have kept my mouth shut.
i understand why it is found offensive and i am so sorry.”
But his apology has stirred up even more controversy on Twitter.
Some fans were shocked that Noah was trying to deny saying this racial slur like this
person who shared his apology and wrote quote, “is he being deadass, #noahschnappisoverparty”
Another fan shared this clip writing “#Noah Schnapp after saying he PRIDES himself in
that the fact that hes never said the n-word #noahschnappisoverparty”
“I was just kidding!
Come on, come on, you guys know I was just kidding right?!”
This person tweeted “who does noah schnapp think he’s fooling you clearly hear him
say the n word- #noahschnappisoverparty”
However; on the reverse side of this argument, some fans defended Noah writing things like
“People he didn’t say the fucking word y’all get irritating y’all look for for
every fucking excuse to cancel someone and it’s not ok noah said he said neighbour
it sounds like neighbour he even apologised for replacing the word now leave him alone
#noahschnappisoverparty”
And this person even tried to slow down the clip of Noah to try to decipher whether he
was saying neighbor or not.
At this point though, irrespective of the word he actually said, hopefully Noah has
learned his lesson and will grow from this experience.
Because this is actually the second month in a row that Noah has taken to social media
to publicly apologize for something that shines him in a bad light!
Last month, he shared a series of tweets addressing his followers after facing criticism for being
friends with someone who ran a controversial fan page on Instagram.
He wrote quote, “Hey everyone, so i see a lot of people upset on the internet over
some things.
first i want to apologize for hurting anyone at all.
u all matter most to me.
I know some of u guys feel like ur feelings are being invalidated.
which im sorry for.
i never meant to defend anybody actions.”
Things were messy but basically he defended one fan account run by someone named Hyler
who had some drama with another fan account.
Noah continued on saying “because it’s all been beyond overwhelming.
so i’m gonna try my best right now.
i’m sorry if any of my actions have offended you, whether that being defending anybody
or something else.
i never once had any intention to hurt anybody EVER.”
He also mentioned his co-star Millie Bobby Brown in his tweets saying quote, “what
hyler said wasn’t right at all and it’s not my place to excuse any of that behavior.
but i’m speaking mainly on me and millie: we’ve been close forever and have been there
for eachother during dark times.
so please don’t speak on the friendship like you guys know it.”
Earlier this year Noah also faced some heat for defending Tik Tokker Lil Huddy, when he
said that he’s sorry that he gets so much hate online.
Fans came for Noah for defending Chase and saying that he respected him, pointing out
that Chase has a history of using the N-word.
#NoahSchnappIsOverParty actually trended on Twitter after that whole situation too.
We will keep you updated if there are any further developments on this current story.
