Overview

The Llddis Broke Ass Niggas TikTok is a June 2024 viral video by TikToker @llddis (real name Lilly Gaddis, of Wilmington, North Carolina), a white woman filmed cooking in an apron while casually using the N-word as she ranted that everyone she knew was married to 'broke ass niggas' 1.

Instead of apologizing, Gaddis posted a defiant follow-up video invoking First Amendment rights, which drove a second wave of reactions and ended with her being fired within days 5.
