The Holderness Family, a popular YouTube family known for their funny and relatable videos, became embroiled in controversy in 2017 when accusations of cultural appropriation surfaced. The family's videos often featured parodies of popular songs and dances, and some viewers accused them of appropriating black culture in their videos.
The controversy was sparked by a video in which the family parodied the song "Juju on That Beat" by Zay Hilfigerrr and Zayion McCall, a popular dance challenge that originated in the black community. Critics argued that the family was appropriating black culture by performing the dance in a comedic manner without acknowledging or respecting its origins.
The Holderness Family responded to the controversy by apologizing for unintentionally offending anyone and explaining that they were not aware of the cultural significance of the dance. They removed the video from their channel and apologized for any harm caused.
The controversy prompted a larger conversation about cultural appropriation and the importance of acknowledging and respecting the origins of cultural practices and traditions. The Holderness Family's experience serves as a reminder for content creators to be mindful of the impact their work may have on marginalized communities.
