Recently Da Brat and wife Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart addressed the sperm donor controversy during an appearance on the Tamron Hall show.
Brat expressed regret for her comments about finding a sperm donor that according to her ..her words were taken out of context.
She explained that she and her wife, Judy, had difficulty finding a Black sperm donor due to Judy’s genetic markers.
They narrowed their search down to one donor but were not satisfied with the available Black donors.
Da Brat’s comment about “the one or two Black people” was taken to mean that she was against having a Black sperm donor.
However, she clarified that they were specifically looking for a Black donor and that her comment was a joke. She didn’t mean to offend anyone and was surprised by the negative reaction.
Da Brat apologized for her comment, saying that it was a joke between her, her wife, and the doctor.
“I didn’t think it would be offensive to anybody. I cracked jokes about almost everybody that I saw, that one just happened to make it in the show. I wasn’t trying to be mean or say anything negative about Black people.”
“I guess they thought it was funny and I didn’t think it would bother anybody or else I would have taken it out. I had no idea people were going to be so offended, but I meant no harm whatsoever,” the “Funkdafied” rapper said. “People take things and run with it. I’m like, ‘What?’ People who know me know that I didn’t mean any harm.”
“We were looking for a Black donor,” the she clarified. “We’re Black, we wanted a Black donor. So it was just misconstrued and taken way out of context.”
“If I offended anybody, I do apologize. But it was a joke between me and my wife and the doctor, like, we joke like that, we play around so it wasn’t meant to be offensive in any way.”
