Mississippi News Anchor Removed for Quoting Snoop Dogg Lyric

Barbie Bassett, a news anchor for WLBT in Mississippi, is facing trouble after quoting a famous Snoop Dogg phrase on live TV. Bassett used the phrase "Fo shizzle, my nizzle," which is considered to be a racial epithet for Black people. WLBT hasn't clarified what happened to Bassett, who hasn't been seen on TV since that moment. Bassett also faced trouble in October for using the word "grandmammy," a term slaves used for their grandmothers, while speaking with a Black reporter on air. She issued an apology at that time.
