Is it okay for Chanel West Coast to use the K-word because she's a white woman?
The "Ridiculousness" star made her followers laugh on Tuesday by recreating a viral TikTok video where she said, "call me Karen." Her video comes after a tweet that said calling someone Karen is like calling them the N-word went viral. Clearly, she is poking fun at the ridiculous comparison.
Chanel looked amazing dressed in a metallic bikini with a yellow fishnet dress to cover up. The video featured the rapper enjoying her iced coffee a little too much... which is the basis of her joke.

Chanel acted out and lipsynced the viral clip where an African-American woman compares herself to the stereotypical Karen because she really likes iced coffee.
"Girl I don't know what caucasian woman got into me but b--ch, Iced coffee!!!" Chanel acted out. "B--ch! Well, call me Karen, okay!"
Her millions of followers got the joke and found her video quite funny but she admitted that she has never met a white Karen before.
"I actually have never met a white Karen and know like 3 Mexican Karen’s but whatever it’s funny ??♀️?," she wrote in the comments section of her post.
She also revealed that her favorite coffee drink is iced vanilla latte.
The K-word movement recently went viral when a white woman allegedly said that misogyny has plagued the world long before slavery.
"The K-word is stronger than the n-word, at least currently. Misogyny and patriarchy has been around longer than slavery. Just don't use either," the alleged tweet read (is anything on the internet even real?).
Tons of activists and celebrities pointed out why the K-word/N-word comparison is not a great one.
"So apparently #KAREN is the “K WORD” and “it’s stronger than the N-WORD” If that ain’t the whitest #WhitePrivilege statement ever. Karen needs to chill the fck out?✌?," D. L. Hughley stated.

Chanel has been putting serious work into her TikTok game while being stuck at home. Yesterday, she shared a sultry dance to her friend's song while she was wearing the same outfit. Her fans praised her and told her that she is actually getting better at her craft.
"You’re getting good at this lol ?," one fan gushed, while another said, "She just keeps getting cuter and cuter !"
A third fan was quick to call her the "Tik tok queen."

The rapper did her best to embody Joe Exotic for another one of her viral videos but let's be thankful she didn't have the exact same look as the star from the hit Netflix Documentary. Chanel wore a leopard print catsuit that did not leave much to the imagination because the see-through material made it easy to see her black bra and thong underwear. The star accessorized with a black cowboy hat and enlisted the help of her pooch to star as a wild animal in her dance vid.
"I didn’t have any tiger print clothing but I did have a small Lion ????♀️ #PomeranianQueen #JoeExotic #TigerKing #JoeExoticChallenge #ChanelExotic @trillervids," she wrote in the caption of her post.
What will ~~Karen~~ Chanel do next?
