ML making fun of a Black woman's name. I wish I was surprised, but I'm not.
I think it's an honest question, which is a respectful thing to ask if you don't know. I myself haven't been sure, because I've heard it pronounced multiple different ways even by news pundits.
What are you talking about? Nobody here is making fun of her name.
No one is making fun. It’s not a common name and people want to make sure that pronounce it correctly.
