It’s Nigerian pidgin and literally every Nigerian born person who speaks English will say itNo shade but I’m almost positive “tiyad” is patois as a Jamaican myself. I’ve never heard a Nigerian say that
she only gets invited to give the ‘gen z’ insight even though she’s more like a young millennial. To her credit, she has a good agent getting her all these gigs she’s in no way qualified for.Seems like every week now she’s doing some speaking event on something she knows nothing about. Today is ‘changing workplace cultures’ … when she’s previously published her employees personal lives to her 1million followers, shown that her staff are working when off sick and in hospital, micromanages so she has to ‘approve’ things for 2 hours every day, posts pictures of her giving the middle finger to her laptop and constantly complains how she’s sick of work, yet fills her day with hair appointments, shopping and other random vanity projects. Can only assume she’s discussing changing workplace cultures for the worse
I can only imagine this talk as like something from W1ASeems like every week now she’s doing some speaking event on something she knows nothing about.

If someone is living in a country/culture or has connections to that culture (like you and your bf) then I think it can be fine depending on intent. Grace doesn’t meet either of those criteria so it’s cringe at best, offensive and appropriation at worst.Can I ask something regarding the "tiyad" conversation out of real curiosity?
So, I am Spaniard but have been living in the UK for the past 10 years. If, for example, I were to meet a Nigerian person that moved to Spain and used a slang (non-offensive, ovbs... i don't think tiyad is but correct me if i'm wrong) Catalan word I'd be well happy and hype them up... same if the person was French, American, Chinese... I would think it's funny / cool that someone adopts a slang word in my own language and not only uses standard Spanish. Why is is different in this case? My boyfriend is Jamaican and when I have used the word "ting" for example on an odd occasion he's never told me it was cultural appropriation or that it was not correct to use it... why is it bad that she used "tiyad"? Is it because it is her, is it because it is offensive...?
Using immigrant slang and yet having no immigrant friends is a bit beggy essentially.Can I ask something regarding the "tiyad" conversation out of real curiosity?

Tiyad is literally just the word “tired” but with an Nigerian/Jamaican accent, so no nothing offensive at all. I think it’s more race oriented than nationality. Historically and even still, black people with accents have been ridiculed, mocked and even denied opportunities because their accent is seen as low class or uneducated. Same for African Americans phrases that are popular with gen z, people that actually speak like that are seen as dumb, but on a white girl it’s sassy and funny. So for that now to be trendy for people like grace to just say when they want to be quirky or cool is just odd.Can I ask something regarding the "tiyad" conversation out of real curiosity?

i also find it bizare that for someone that supposedly wrote their dissertation on cultural appropriation then she wouldn't have a little bit more self awareness when posting slang to an audience of +1m.... perhaps she does have friends from that culture in which case she may not be causing offense in a private context with those individuals, but regardless she shouldn't assume that it might not be offensive to the wider public given that we're not seeing her engage with any cultures beyond the classic west london white priveleged influencer circle...Tiyad is literally just the word “tired” but with an Nigerian/Jamaican accent, so no nothing offensive at all.

I personally find it odd when people use phrases that aren’t in their culture in the way grace and a lot of others do. Having a partner or close friends from a culture is different as obviously you will pick up things. But I’ve never known grace to have any close black friends and she clearly has not grown up around black culture so it’s just weird
She is so weird. She always has these little moments of calling herself out. It’s like she subconsciously knows she’s a fraud, and thinks well if I call myself out for this in a funny self deprecating way on social media, it will all be okay.Is it ever???
I’m sorry but this is actually insane - they are hanging in by a thread!Not her tits trying to escape the, in her words, most flattering bikini top in the world that gives you a lift.

Have you seen clips of her doing her makeup? The woman spends 25 minutes putting as much product as humanly possible on her nose alone it made me throw up in my mouthI never thought her nose looked ugly or weird before but it’s started to look kind of strange recently. I wonder if she’s had a non surgical nose job? The tip of her nose is so much fuller and more upturned than it used to be. Maybe it’s just weird contouring idk
