Of course it was used before, but we all know why that term has become more prevelant and used constantly now. Fred Sanford was saying nikka before NWA came out too
This word has gained popularity through black female/homosexual twitter and social media. A few yeara back divestors were the ones I saw using that word dusty/dusties as a slur for black men. Then a few years later its on the tongues and fingertips of all these black women and men on twitter? Its not a coincidence in my opinion,considering the type of black women twitter is a hot bed for. Not saying all those black women/men listen to divestors. But they have picked up slang from women who do. In the same way women pick up other words/sayings used on their.
But since yall wanna use it so bad,guess I will have to turn it into a term of endearment.#DownForMyDusties
