“what race is nikita gonna be today ? i know it’s a joke to comment on my race but i’m really tired of having to defend myself on every post. “she’s hispanic today” i’m hispanic everyday. my mom is mexican. my dad is asian. i’m mixed. the end. bye.”

During the show, Larray confronted Nikita Dragun about Blackfishing.

In one of the episodes of Hype House, Larray sat down with Nikita Dragun and talked about the Blackfishing accusations. According to him, he had to defend her when people asked him why he hangs out with her. At the same time, he told her that she does not look like her pictures in real life. He said:

“You come across as ignorant. They’re pissed with me and hate the fact that I’m friends with someone who is problematic. People have feelings and you cannot invalidate those feelings. I cannot defend you on something like that, you’re on your own.”

In response to this, Nikita Dragun said:

“As an influencer, our whole life is put on a weird pedestal more than other celebrities. Its scary because you’re not allowed to mess up in any way. But I also think its not fair for me to be so dismissive. I’m really sorry for that, I don’t want to hurt anyone that’s not my intention. Its like I have to extra prove that I’m not a bad person. Its been like that my whole life.”

Although she has apologized, let’s see if people accept Nikita Dragun’s apology or not.
