Rapper Asian Doll has 'no apologies' in face of online backlash for 'Indian-themed' birthday party
Twitter users have accused American rapper Asian Doll of cultural appropriation after she shared an online invitation for her upcoming "Indian-themed" birthday party.
The controversy: Asian Doll, whose real name is Misharron Jermeisha Allen, faced backlash on Sunday when social media users noticed that the rapper used an Arabic song as background music for the invitation flyer for her party, which she called “Asian Doll Escapes to India.” (The original post has since been taken down.)
The event, which requires guests to wear "Indian clothes," will be held at Revel Atlanta, a nightclub in Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard, Atlanta, on Dec. 7, the invitation link read. Ticket prices range between $40 and $60.
Twitter users quickly called out Allen, who has 1.1 million followers on the social media platform, for her choice of song for the flyer.
