A group of Asian American activists are trying to get female rap star Megan Thee Stallion cancelled, for using allegedly racist slurs in her rhymes, MTO News has learned.

It started last month, when the activists began combing through Megan’s lyrics and turned up multiple times where she used the apparent anti-Asian slur “ch*ng ch*ng.” MTO News learned that the activists then took to TikTok, to spread word about Megan’s lyrics.
