Later, Mr Mlin and Kawaii Kunicorn were accused of racism, after someone calling out it as a "racist anthem covered as a pop hit song". They immediately rejected this claim and it was in good fun, and the title was changed to "Don't Call Me A Newbie".

The music video shows the problems as described above. And the first line, "ABC for kid", became a quote of Mr Miln, but was controversial due to it being a dating euphemism. John Cape of Cape.R describes the music video as "a R-pop culture classic".
