“If you look like Jiminy Cricket — the one or two Black people I saw… that thing ain’t finna be looking like my child,“Da Brat said on an episode of their WE tv series,Brat Loves Judy.
She later added more context during her interview, describing how she “didn’t think it would be offensive to anybody. I cracked jokes about almost everybody that I saw, that one just happened to make it in the show. I wasn’t trying to be mean or say anything negative about Black people.”
“I guess they thought it was funny and I didn’t think it would bother anybody or else I would have taken it out. I had no idea people were going to be so offended, but I meant no harm whatsoever,” the “Funkdafied” rapper said. “People take things and run with it. I’m like, ‘What?’ People who know me know that I didn’t mean any harm.”
“We were looking for a Black donor,” the Chicago native clarified. “We’re Black, we wanted a Black donor. So it was just misconstrued and taken way out of context.”
The couple also talked about how much harder finding a sperm donor was than they initially imagined.
“We never worried about it. We were more worried about the whole IVF process where she had to get shots in her stomach in the beginning and take all these hormonal medicines and I had to give myself shots and she had to give me shots and then she ended up at the hospital with blood clots in her lungs once they retrieved their eggs,” Da Brat explained.
She also revealed how she “ended up having a miscarriage and I had polyps in my uterus. It was just so many different things. But we thought when we got to the donor part it would be a breeze, it would be easy.”
In February, Da Brattold PEOPLE that she never imagined she would have kids.
“I never thought I was going to have kids,” she said. “I just thought it wasn’t in the cards for me. I’ve had a great career, a full life. I felt like, because I didn’t get pregnant earlier on, then it just wasn’t going to happen for me.”
