The 2016 late summer hit "Bad and Boujee" by the Atlanta trap trio Migos became the subject of controversy after a greek fraternity at American University tried to use the name of the song for an event they were planning to host.

According to the Washington Post, Sigma Alpha Mu (SAM) planned a fundraiser for a veterans' organization through a badminton tournament. They decided to name the event "Bad(minton) and Boujee," which is an obvious pun on the popular song. However, after registering the event with AU's online schedule system, the fraternity was accused of "appropriating culture."

Colin Gerker, assistant director of fraternity and sorority life at AU, emailed SAM president Rocco Cimino that the word "boujee" was cultural appropriation and that they wouldn't approve of the event unless they changed the name.

The word "boujee" is an African American term that originated from the French word "bourgeois," which was used in disdain for the middle-to-upper-middle class's pretentiousness and their materialistic taste. "Bourgeois" is derived from the Latin word "burgus," which is a tower or castle. So, when Cimino asked Gerker what culture his fraternity was appropriating, Gerker and AU couldn't give him an answer.

Instead, they re-iterated that they were "appropriating culture," and they they received "multiple complaints" about the event's title.

An American University spokeswoman responded to a request for comment, telling the Post's Catherine Rampell that the "sequence of events did not go according to our normal process for working with student organizations." But she never answered what was so objectionable to the event's name.

The school administration apologized to Cimino and Sigma Alpha Mu and promised to help promote a future event for a veterans' group.

Seeing as how the song "Bad and Boujee" is on Migos' album titled "Culture," maybe they really were appropriating "Culture"?

Maybe we should ask Sid the Science Kid if he's appropriating "Culture" too?
