Thanks that does help. It's a very simple song and easy to play. Very pleasant outside of the slang usage.

From Urban Dictionary*…

“Shawty

“A word used by try hard fools and 'gangstaz' (another failed attempt at making yourself sound 'hard') to describe an attractive female."

*The dictionary’s definition. I never heard the word before.

Cultural appropriation is not. Maybe inverse CA.
He was recognized as a a talented fellow, worthy of being educated by the best r&b, hip hoppers.
I easily see him as a genuine icon of this generation…well, last generation.

Collaborations with Missy Elliot don't justify putting on a fake "blaccent" and dreds.

And it's a family-thing. Hailey Bieber's pulling the same bullcr@p.

White privilege comes into play here, big time. Putting on a "costume" and an accent akin to blackface for fun and profit, but without the racial profiling and risk of a cop-shooting. It's the height of insensitivity.
