The 17-year-old TikToker Nessa Barrett has recently come under fire for posting a video on TikTok in which she and a friend danced to audio of a man reciting a verse from the Quran. Barrett has since issued an apology for the video, which she deleted, but many are dissatisfied and continue to flood the comments of her videos with criticism. In her latest TikTok video, Barrett, who has over 6 million followers, turned off the comments.

Barrett explained the situation in a livestream on TikTok, saying she and her friend had been brainstorming video ideas while she was scrolling on her For You page. She said that after coming across a video of what she thought was a man singing, she thought it would be funny to make a TikTok video dancing to the sound, not realizing that he was reciting the Quran.

Barrett apologized, saying: "My stepsiblings, like my stepmom is from Egypt and all that stuff, so I know that it could have been taken offensively. I just want to apologize for anyone who took it that way and was offended. I think — I'm sorry to anyone that practices that religion."

Comments on her recent videos call for her cancellation, with one of the most liked on a recent video saying, "my respect to you went" followed by the emoji of a trending downward graph; a different comment on another recent video simply repeats the hashtag #nessacancelled.
