DJ Envy Responds To Recent Colorism Interview Backlash
Adrienne Houghton: Now Envy, I have to ask you recently received a bit of backlash after the interview with The Breakfast Club with Amara La Negra about colorism and it existing in the Latin community. Is there anything you want to clear up?
DJ Envy: You know, I’m not Puerto Rican or Dominican…
Adrienne: We swear! We claim you.
DJ Envy: I know everyone swears I’m Puerto Rican or Dominican or I’m Latino. I’m not. I’m actually African-American, full.
Adrienne: Yes.
Loni Love: Full?
DJ Envy: Full. Full, so I don’t know what goes on in the Latin community, so when I ask, I ask because I honestly don’t know. I don’t watch Telemundo, Univision I don’t watch those shows. So if I’m asking it’s because I really don’t know. And people are upset because I didn’t know, but how could I possibly know if I’m not Latin. I’m African- American. My mother’s from Virginia, my dad’s from uh… it’s not Dominican its Dominica.
Adrienne: Yes.
DJ Envy: Which is a West Indian island.
Adrienne: A completely different place.
DJ Envy: A completely different place. So, I didn’t know. I asked, and people got upset because I didn’t know. But that’s the best thing about doing interviews, you ask people.
Loni: Right. And I think…
Adrienne: And I think it’s best if you don’t know to ask. That’s how you learn.
Loni: Exactly. And that’s why it’s important to have shows with diversity, so that we can find out about each other and be knowledgeable, so I respect you for that. You know.
DJ Envy: Thank you.
