That Mexican OT publicly apologized on social media after enduring a week of criticism, which included backlash from Sauce Walka and Tr3fonc, for suggesting that he was allowed to use the N-word in a podcast interview last week.

During his appearance on the Lip Service podcast on June 18, the Texan rapper defended his right to use the racial slur. He also said to the panel full of women, "What the f**k are you going to do about it?”

Following the episode's airing, That Mexican OT faced intense backlash from netizens and rappers alike. Initially, Sauce Walka supported Mexican OT, one of his frequent collaborators, on social media, calling the outcry “ignorance at its finest.”

"At first, when I was speaking on what I was speaking on, I was only talking about the sh*t I seen on Say Cheese. Then, my brother showed me the interview and showed me exactly verbatim what Mexican OT said on that podcast with all the women. Mexican OT, b***h you wrong, h*e! Imma tell you why you wrong, little bro."

Sauce Walka claimed that Mexican OT would not say the same thing if he were in a room full of Black men, who would be ready to fight him over the controversial remark.

"I ain't f**ked up with you saying n***a... the problem and the issue is the fact that you say n***a in a room full of women. 'Is there any black n***as in here? Is there any n****as in here? If there are, what you gonna do about it?' That's where you f**ked up at brother, that's where the disrespect is," he said. "You know, if you was in a room full of violent n***as from Houston, full of violent n***as like myself... there would have been six n***as in the room ready to fight you," he added.

Sauce Walka described That Mexican OT's behavior as "h*e shit," alleging he only behaved that way as he felt it was a safe setting to say what he said without facing any repercussions. He also criticized the media, blog sites, and podcasts for putting artists in uncomfortable situations and asking them awkward questions.

That Mexican OT left his response to Sauce Walka's criticism in the comments section of the Instagram video, writing:

“I love yu I ain’t mad. Thank yu.”

I grew up fighting with them, I grew up eating with them." "I grew up f**king doing bad s**t with them, I grew up loving with them, I got family. It's not even about family.
