Slayyyter addresses resurfaced racial slurs amid backlash

USA Today and Stereogum wrote that old posts containing racial slurs attributed to @slayyyter resurfaced as her profile rose, and that she answered on a private X account. Both printed her writing that people were trying to recancel her for high-school behavior and that she has not been "that kind of person" for over 15 years. Both printed her asking why people "want to see me fail so bad."
