Controversy’s Child

Vicky’s ever-expanding online fame has come with its share of controversies which to some extent has attributed in bringing the diva under the spotlight. A huge controversy erupted after she spoke on her ethnicity and claimed to belong to the black community. This was in 2017 when Vicky asserted that she hailed from Atlanta’s prominent neighbourhood, Zone 6, from where reputed black rappers, such as Future, Childish Gambino, Gucci Mane, and Rich Homie Quan have risen. To prove her point, Vicky started doing things that are generally associated with the black community and also came up with evidences which were somewhat bizarre. She drew this conclusion from a genealogical and historical records site, Ancestry.com. As per an ancestry test she took, Vicky holds mixed ethnicity and is 44% African, however she mentioned that she is 25% black. She began rapping and twerking, adopted African-American accent, and even used the offensive ‘N-word’ in some of her updates on social media. While the use of ethnic slur by the diva attracted several hate comments, her actions were strongly censured with many tagging her as a racist. Vicky, who many a times refers herself as ‘Melanin Queen,’ on the other hand argued that as she hails from the black community, she has the right to use the ‘N-word.’ Many suggested that Vicky’s attempt to associate herself with the black community was a tactic she used to raise her online presence and following.

While she was romantically associated with Instagram star Papi JJ for a year, Vicky made up a fake pregnancy story. Later, Vicky parted ways with Papi JJ accusing him of cheating on her. Vicky’s comments on cosmetic surgeries and sexual behaviour of American rapper and social media personality Danielle Bregoli, aka Bhad Bhabie and calling the latter fake was met with censuring. In April 2018, a video featured Vicky getting into a street fight with Danielle. A video of the fight went viral. It featured the two girls punching each other and hurling abuses, before being separated by onlookers. Vicky tried to get her fans’ sympathy by making claims that Danielle and her friend Malu Trevejo, a Cuban-born Spanish singer and internet celebrity, threatened her while Malu also seduced her boyfriend. She was also derided by many when Vicky compared herself with famous American singer, songwriter, and actress Beyoncé.

Vicky also fell on the wrong side of the law and faced arrest with charges of trespassing, resisting and assaulting a law enforcement officer. This happened on February 18, 2018, when she disregarded the cops and security officials at the three-story shopping mall, Four Seasons Town Centre, in Greensboro, North Carolina, and kicked a police officer after they stopped her for trespassing in the mall. Vicky had to spend a night in custody before being released the next day. Nevertheless, Vicky cashed in on the incident, posting her mugshot on her Instagram handle with the caption #freevicky.
