Did I say all black people speak that way? No. Is that vernacular found in predominately black communities? Yes. And Nicki only adopts the Brit accent for creative effect. Iggy uses it as her base.

So by your "logic", a particular race being the predominant one to practice a thing, therefore makes that thing owned by that particular race.
So, let's play a game...
...Continuing with
your theory, if a large group of black people are the majority users of a language and therefore the language becomes an inherently black attribute, does it not follow that other things dominated by a particular race are therefore also inherent attributes of those races?
By your own definition, does it not follow that the entire structure of western CULTURE and society is a white thing? Is democracy a white thing since it wasn't invented by white Greeks? What about freedom of speech? Hell, the english language itself?? These are cultural attributes that affect all of us on this forum much more than Iggy Igg's accent, no? Yet are we prepared to procaim the vast majority of structural western culture is white culture?
Clearly, unless you answer "yes" to every question proposed in the following paragrapgh, you now understand that your orinigal perspective is flawed, to say the absolute least. And at the other end it's dangerous, divisional (case in point this entire situation), and would readily stagnant all progress in humanity, seeing as idea's, lifestyles, and thoughts among other things are not meant to be shared, but instead owned by a particular race.
Done.
