I fucked up.

Hello reddit. Before you ask, yes I am white (sigh... I know). I'm posting here because I was banned from hiphopheads for a rap reference gone wrong (I honestly thought Rick Ross was talking about a girl named Molly).

I currently live with my girlfriend, who is not a hip hop fan. I would describe her music taste as somewhat normie. The other day, for example, I took her to a hot dog stand we absolutely adore. On the ride over, I tried to play "Like That" (by the ingenious K-Dot). She sighed and asked me to turn it off. When we arrived, I tried to make a joke about putting "mustaaard" on her dog (another K reference), and she didn't even laugh. I figured she just didn't get the joke and ignored it.

The next day (today), I decided to educate her. We spent some time scrolling through Hip Hop twitter together, and then I had her watch a bit of a Fantano stream. I absolutely LOVE Melon, which is what I call him when I'm not talking to non-fans, like my girlfriend. Finally, I asked her what kind of music she listened to. She was surprised at the question and told me that we had been dating for a year and a half. I didn't really see how that was relevant, and asked her to name one artist she had "spun" last week. She said Megan Thee Stallion.

Gentlemen of reddit, this is where I messed up. I immediately started giggling and could not resist the obvious joke. I stood up, pulled my hood over my head, and in my best Slim Shady voice rapped "If I asked Megan Thee Stallion if she would collab with me, would I really have a shot at her feet?"

My girlfriend was not laughing. Actually, she looked ill. She locked herself in our bedroom and has not come out since. At one point, I went up to the door and whispered "I messed up worse than the 2023 XXL freshman class" but she didn't respond.

Guys, what can I do? I need my Rihanna back, A$AP!!!
