Julieanna Goddard AKA “YesJulz” is known for her online social media presence, but it’s a new interview that has everyone taking notice of the media personality. YesJulz is being slammed by fans after dissing highly-respected media personalities Scottie Beam and Karen Civil, both black women working in the hip-hop industry. YesJulz has been known to make racially insensitive comments in the past, and given that she’s a white woman, the internet is not happy about the “racist” remarks. However, she has one fan on her side, none other than musician Daniel Caesar. The Canadian singer added more fuel to the fire when he backed Julz up on her comments.
