Mississippi news anchor removed for quoting Snoop Dogg on air.

Mississippi news anchor Barbie Bassett has been taken off the air after using Snoop Dogg's phrase "fo shizzle, my nizzle" during a live broadcast. Bassett, who is White, used the phrase seemingly unaware that "nizzle" is slang for the n-word. This is not the first time Bassett has found herself at the center of controversy. In October 2022, Bassett apologized after using the phrase "grandmammy" while speaking with a Black female reporter, who she also called "girl" and "sis."
