On Monday, 4 August 2025, a TikTok user named @cave.man69 shared a video showing Boity involved in a loud argument with a group of unknown white women during her outing in Barcelona. The video quickly made waves online, with fans and critics debating what really happened.
The short clip shows Boity on Instagram Live when the argument broke out. She can be heard hurling insults at the women, even calling them out as “white women” during the heated exchange.
In the circulating video on TikTok, the incident started after the women allegedly aggravated Boity. At first, the rapper reportedly tried to ignore them, but things got worse when they repeatedly told her to “shush” while she was live streaming. They also kept talking behind her, which many believe triggered the argument. Eventually, Boity lost her cool and confronted them. This happened shortly after she returned from an amazing vacation in Greece with her friends.
After the video went viral, social media was flooded with reactions. Many people had strong opinions about Boity’s behavior and whether she was justified in standing up for herself.
One user, @fortunek_2, commented: “I was watching that live from start to finish. Those white people aggravated her, to be honest, and she tried to avoid it. But they kept talking, and that time they are behind her, telling her to shush while music and people are talking too is mad disrespect, and we all know what that is.”
Another user, Ms M, shared a different view: “Everyone thinks she did well for standing up for herself, but guys, if there’s a Karen, do not react or respond because that’s what EXACTLY they want, and you’ll get even madder when they laugh. That’s why it’s best to keep calm, knowing very well you want to drag them.”
A third user, 10/10, wrote: “Seems like they provoked her… she had to defend herself. I mean, regardless of being a celebrity, she’s human aowa.”
Another user, YT: Just Musa commented: “Can you also show the part where they were aggravating her not just the retaliation.”
The incident has sparked a big debate online, with some applauding Boity for defending herself and others saying she should have walked away.
