Singh has been accused of cultural appropriation of African-American culture by such publications as The Huffington Post, Bitch, ColorLines, and Vice. Anna Silman of The Cut accused Singh of appropriating both black and Indo-Caribbean culture on her channel because of her tendency to don a “blaccent”, whilst making rap videos sporting chains and cornrows.Tayo Bero of Teen Vogue wrote that “[Singh] falls into a category of non-black people of color in entertainment who have built massive followings often by mimicking black culture and leaning heavily into black stereotypes.” Rachna Raj Kaur and Radheyan Simonpillai of Now similarly criticized Singh’s appropriation of black culture due to her use of braids, hip-hop slang and Caribbean accents. Singh has responded to the criticism, by stating her mannerisms are due to her upbringing, adding “all my friends from Scarborough [Toronto] act exactly like me.”
