majority of aave, patois & slang created by black people becomes incredibly trash the moment most non-black people start using them
people started using leng (attractive & from patois) and then some chinese people were claiming black Brits were appropriating cantonese.
the first time I heard "leng" I was like hold on they use the same word for pretty in patois?Since I know some Cantonese
People really trying to claim appropriation though? There's bigger fights than that.. Any time before 2010s and both parties would be laughing that they coincidentally have the same/similar word.
People who are cheugy are referred to as cheugs. Media described as cheugy include "live, laugh, love signs", "Minion memes", "using words like 'doggo'", and "anything that says 'girl boss' on it". While it has been compared to "being basic", some sources have suggested that it is "not quite 'basic'."

Nobody even says that
Pretty much all the slang words white people caught wind of and started over using.

Mad, that's interesting
I'm not exposed to too many Jamaican diaspora where I live so we don't usually get the slang, usually just arabic or pacific Islander stuff
"The kids" use it on tiktok
