A fan asked Jhene Aiko what is she 'mixed with.' 

Jhene responded in a now-deleted tweet, "whispers, cat hair, Slauson asphalt, and sand from Venice Beach." 

This carried over to the Shade Room's Instagram comment section, where she explained further, "25% Asian, 33% African 34% European. I'm human and I see you all as family regardless of how you view me." 

She also said while she has used the n-word in her music moving forward, she will no longer, out of respect and consideration to my ancestors and the individuals who feel uncomfortable when I say it.
