QUEENS, NEW YORK: Black OnlyFans star, Kadia Iman, faces serious backlash from her school after she snatched a microphone out of the hand of a White volunteer, accusing her of racism during her graduation. The incident reportedly happened at La Guardia Community College in Queens, New York, while students were waiting to get their diplomas.
The viral video shows Iman screaming, “I want the mic. I don't like how you snatched the mic out of my hand and today is going to be all about me," before adding, “Let go. You didn't let me get my moment,” while other attendees watched in shock. Later, the woman reportedly shared another video, defending her misbehavior as she said, “Basically, what happened was I was walking on and we had to say our names before we get on the stage. So I was saying my name and she literally — my name is long, obviously, I have like three syllables in my name."
"So, I didn’t even get to finish saying my name, and then the people that went before me, they all got to say their name, their major, and even extras. Me and another girl noticed that she was pulling the mic down super fast for some Black people — I don’t want to be that person, so I just couldn’t let her … I just couldn’t let that happen. I just feel like I worked so hard to graduate and went through so much s–t to graduate that I just felt like I had to reclaim my moment. I’m sorry," she concluded.
‘They weren't racist’
However, she did not receive any support from her fellow graduates as a TikTok user commented, “I too graduated from [LaGuardia] yesterday. I was there. Everyone had the opportunity to say their first and last name. No one said anything more, no one said anything less. The young lady, I understand it was her moment but she went about it the wrong way. No one was discriminated against or racially profiled her. She handled it very poorly. I'm sorry she felt like she had a bad experience. This was the only issue all day. The ceremony was great.”
Another one said, “'I was at the graduation. There were two long lines and we were told to say our names when we approached the lady in the video. But she didn't know any of our names - whether they were long or short. Basically, there were some people who said some extra things in addition to their names, but they weren't racist. There were a lot of people of all races there. We were just told to say our first and last names.”
“Regardless of the fact they let her say her name or not, what she did was disrespectful and not the right way to handle things,” the third one wrote. The fourth user added, “I think she was just angry that nobody came to her graduation and she was a powder keg waiting to go off and she perceived some insult and that was it.”
Who is Kadia Iman?
There is no information available about Iman online, except she is a user of OnlyFans and also has a TikTok page. Her Instagram account, which she uses as "Rizzney spears", also seems to be private.
‘Her mistreatment of a staff volunteer was unacceptable’
Meanwhile, La Guardia Community College shared a statement after the incident, saying, “We regret that the student's disruptive and inappropriate behavior impacted the celebration for graduates and guests. Her mistreatment of a staff volunteer was unacceptable. We are currently reviewing the incident to gain a better understanding of what occurred and what we might do in the future to prevent something like this from happening again," as per Daily Mail.
It continued, “Our June 21st Commencement was a culmination of a lot of hard work and collaboration from LaGuardia faculty and staff volunteers who created a welcoming space for graduates to be recognized and for them to celebrate with their loved ones. An incident occurred involving one graduate who demonstrated their frustration during the student procession for not being able to hold the microphone while they announced their name.”
"None of the students are allowed to hold the microphone to avoid any delay in the student procession and the ceremony. At LaGuardia, we take pride in providing our students with the academic, emotional, and developmental support they need to be successful inside and outside of the classroom,” the statement clarified.
