YIKES!: Cancel Culture Attempts to Come for ‘Family Guy’ Over Resurfaced Nipsey Hussle Joke

I’m going to say this, I’ve watched Family Guy for probably well over a decade and if you know the show, you know nothing is off limits. They don’t discriminate with the jokes, I’ve seen them come for every race, gender, sexuality, mass shootings, the living, the dead, and probably taboo subject you name. So while. I understand where Nipsey’s loved ones may be taken back… this is what the show does.

Before… well, and after, the era of cancel culture emerged, Family Guy stood as one of the few shows that pushed the boundaries as far as possible. The showrunners have never been afraid to touch on any subject matter. Unfortunately, the late Nipsey Hussle became a target in a 2021 episode, which resurfaced earlier today and sparked quite a stir.

Just a few years following Nip’s death, Family Guy poked fun at the rapper in a 2021 episode. “Young Parent Trap” from season 19 aired in April 2021. During the episode, Chris discusses plans to attend a festival with his parents. He then provides Lois and Peter with more information regarding the concert, including hologram performances from two late West Coast legends.

“They’re gonna have holograms of 2Pac and also Nipsey Hussle, who I’d never heard of and then was told to care immensely about,” Chris says.

The clip resurfaced this week after a Twitter user shared it calling the joke “out of pocket,” the comments then led to a flurry of responses. Some people felt as though Family Guy tried to slander Nipsey. However, many looked at it as a jab toward those who only began showing love to Nip after his passing. Those who defended the joke suggested that Family Guy’s had worse jokes in the past compared to the slight towards Nipsey Hussle. One person agreed with the TV show’s assessment of Nipsey Hussle.

“I didn’t know who the hell Nipsey Hussle was till he got shot and was all over my damn timeline,” one fan wrote. “So I definitely get the joke and I don’t see how it’s out of pocket. Have y’all seen Family Guy??”

Overall, it seems like people feel as thought the backlash isn’t warranted. Still, a lot of fans weren’t happy over the disrespect towards Nipsey’s legacy. Take a look for yourself and let us know your thoughts.
