‘We are very angry’: Lil Pump’s new ‘Butterfly World’ video upsets Asian community

You’d think Lil Pump would want to lie low at this point after being kicked off a plane and getting arrested for disorderly conduct in Miami last Thursday.

But no.

On Sunday, the 18-year-old rapper posted a teaser video of his new song, “Butterfly Doors,” and is now facing backlash over not only the words, but a gesture he made in the clip.

Lyrics include, “Butterfly door, they call me Yao Ming cause my eyes real low, ching chong,” raps Lil Pump, while pulling his eyes back.

A variety of Asian social media users (as well as other nationalities) went into a tizzy, slamming the hip hopper (real name Gazzy Garcia) as racist against Asians.

One Twitterer posted a meme of Kanye West looking incredulous: “Are you serious right now?”

Another woman simply wrote, “We are very angry.”

Yet another chided: “I was gonna say this could be a banger until I heard the ‘ching chong.’ Yikes.”
