So I was looking for a Baby Keem snippet and that lead me to his subreddit where I came across this post: reddit.com/r/BabyKeem/comments/oqmjss/baby_keem_baby_keem_lyric_change
The song in question is Baby Keem by Baby Keem. Genius has still the OG lyrics:
I got me a redbone fetish, woah
That made my dark b**** jealous, woah
But now the song got updated (at least on Spotify, not sure about other services) and these two lines go:
I got me a cheekbone fetish, woah
That made my smart b**** jealous, woah
Lowkey thought I was misremembering when I heard the updated one
Smart move tho, Twitter got people on payroll to find scandals like this
If certain people caught wind, he’d still get canceled lmao. Retroactively always looking for something
This thread boutta be a bunch of white boys mad keem changed his lyric disrespecting dark skin women for no reason
I don’t care about him changing it to be sensitive, but that’s a horrendous replacement lol
Lmao. So referring to redbones or yellowbones in music is now worthy of being cancelled?

I think it's more about the dark skin part of the lyrics
Its still there for me
Maybe the old version is cached on your device or maybe they haven't changed it yet in certain geographical areas? Idk.
