OK this is both hilarious and sad. Mississippi TV Meteorologist And News Anchor Removed After Quoting Snoop Dogg Live On Air Barbie Bassett has not been on air for the NBC affiliate WLBT since March 8, when her team were discussing the rapper’s addition to his wine line. Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle,” when the idea of a Snoop collaboration with a newsroom journalist was raised. (“Nizzle” is slang for the N-word.) The station’s chief meteorologist as well as anchor, Bassett has previously caused controversy with a comment, referring to a black reporter’s “grandmammy” on air. She later apologized. She is no longer listed on the station’s website, according to the Clarion Ledger. And Bassett has not shared anything on Twitter since the same day – her silence including this weekend when a deadly tornado struck Mississippi, sparking huge chatter among meteorologists. OK the funny part is this woman saying “Fo shizzle, my nizzle,” and the sad part is that she got fired for it. But as unlikely as I am to quote Snoop Dog, this could have happened to anyone because I had no idea that Nizzle” is slang for the N-word. This is literally the first time I've heard that. Is this something that everyone knew but me?
Seems a bit harsh on first observation. One would have to know more of her character and rhetoric to know whether she knew what she was saying. It's not that hard to decipher what it means tbh.. for sh## my N#### plus she answered in the correct context which would assume she knew what it meant
