That Mexican OT issued a public apology on Instagram Wednesday night (June 25) after being called out by Sauce Walka and others over his use of the N-word and a defiant response that many saw as disrespectful.
The Texas rapper came under fire after a recent interview clip circulated where he defended his use of the racial slur.
“I feel like I can say it,” he said. “What the f### are you going to do about it?” The comment, delivered with a confrontational tone, ignited backlash across social media.
After a week of criticism, That Mexican OT took to Instagram Stories to respond to a post from his friend, Denver rapper Tr3fonc, who said he “lost a lot of respect” for him.
OT replied with a message of remorse:
“I’m sorry cuzin,” he began, adding that he had given a “stupid answer” to a “stupid question.”
He explained, “I meant it deeper then the word cuzin I coulda said anything and I would stand on it for my beliefs being strong strictly no hate or ill in my heart.”
That Mexican OT concluded with an apology.
“I gotta alotta love for my brother and sister hood man,” he wrote. “Blessings and I’m sorry to hurt my people I hope yall can forgive me.”
In a follow-up post, he reflected on the personal toll the controversy had taken, particularly the strain on his longtime friendship with Tr3fonc:
“S### f##### me up I lost one of them,” he wrote. I’m sorry to anyone I’ve offended of any race or belief Thank yu to everyone who still here.”
Sauce Walka Backtracks After Defending That Mexican OT
Initially, Sauce Walka had defended OT, calling the backlash “ignorance at its finest.”
However, after watching the full interview, he reversed course and addressed the situation in a video posted to Instagram.
“B####, you wrong, hoe!” he said. “I’mma tell you why you wrong little bro.”
Walka clarified that his issue wasn’t just OT’s explanation for using the word but the aggressive way he challenged others in the room, which he said was full of women.
“That’s where you f##### up, brother. That’s where the disrespect is,” Walka said. He added that OT wouldn’t have made the same statement in a room full of Black men.
That Mexican OT responded in the comments with a short reply: “I love yu I ain’t mad. Thank yu.”
