Controversies & Scandals

Five-year-old tweets of C Don came under harsh criticism in 2018. The rapper in 2013 had tweeted: “Don’t act like if god gave you a choice you wouldn't change your colour lool.” The tweets were widely circulating on the internet in 2018. On January 28, 2018, Don posted an apology saying “sorry if anyone was offended,” after first denying she had posted anything related to the issue.

Later, after the cover of ‘SECURE’ was leaked online, rapper Foxy Brown, who Stefflon Don regards as her family, blocked her on Instagram. The cover of the album was inspired by one of Don’s longtime influences Lil’ Kim. In the artwork, Don paid homage to Lil’ Kim’s second studio album ‘The Notorious K.I.M’.
