In June this year, former YouTuber Taylor Caniff shared a couple of Instagram stories featuring his male friend and Nikita Dragun. The two were out to grab food and Caniff recorded them and later boasted about telling the security guys about how Dragun was a "dude" presenting as a woman. Dragun saw the stories after fans brought them to her attention following which she posted an emotional IGTV video addressing the situation, offering a visceral explanation of what it's like to be a transgender woman.

Is Asian Doll transphobic?
Here's a little background into what led to Asian Doll tweeting what she tweeted. Dragun released her song where she dragged a lot of people including rapper Tyga who she accused of Tyga being in her DMs once again. She had made the same claims back in 2018 which the rapper had strongly denied but many believed Dragun's side of the story. In the music video of her debut single, Dragun included a screenshot of the dm Tyga sent her which read, "Text me" with a number that was redacted. The authenticity of the screenshot cannot be proven.
Along with attempting to out Tyga, Dragun also included a photo of Asian Doll's body with a pink blingy outfit which appeared on screen with the words "you wearing shit that I already wore." A fan pointed this out to Asian Doll on Twitter with the message, "Sis, why did Nikita Dragun put your picture in her video she just posted." Asian Doll responded back writing "Nikita about to be dragged by his bald head," with a laughing emoji. Fans of Dragun as well as those that don't support her hit back at Asian Doll for her transphobic tweet following which she had to take it down. Nikita Dragun has yet to comment on the subject, but knowing her, there's a reaction coming.
