N.O.R.E. confronts food reviewer Sober Facts over language use

N.O.R.E. Sober Facts Jason Rodriguez Drink Champs content creator conflict

Rapper and Drink Champs host N.O.R.E. confronted viral food reviewer Sober Facts, whose real name is Jason Rodriguez, during a video shoot in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The confrontation centered on Rodriguez’s use of the N-word in his content.

N.O.R.E. urged the creator to stop using the term, stating that no one, including Black, Dominican, or Puerto Rican individuals, should use it. Rodriguez initially responded with a video defending the language as “part of the culture” and accusing N.O.R.E. of approaching him with a group of intoxicated individuals.

Following the exchange, Rodriguez deleted his video and posted a message on Instagram expressing respect for N.O.R.E., describing himself as a young sober individual attempting to succeed.
