Twitter descended into utter chaos upon discovering that R&B singing group H-Town's sultry hit "Knockin' Da Boots" was possibly about a white woman.
Kevin "Dino" Conner, who died in a car accident in 2003, was in a relationship with Jessica Ditzel, a white woman. The couple had a daughter in 1996 named Kayja but later broke up.
Twitter can't come to terms that Black love was possibly not the center of the track.
Ditzel is now the wife of podcaster Joe Rogan who she married in 2009. Rogan also adopted her daughter Kayja, I Love Old School Music reports.
As such, many on Twitter were heartbroken that one of their favorite songs from the group may not be referencing Black love and instead, a result of Dino's relationship with Ditzel.

Some Twitter users said pump the brakes—Dino and Ditzel were not together when the song was released.
But many commentators said that the math ain't mathing, pointing out that the R&B bop debuted in 1993, and Dino didn't meet Ditzel until years later.
"Knockin' Da Boots" was not about Joe Rogan's wife. I asked H-Town. Dino didn't know that lady at that time. Y'all believe any ole thing.???? pic.twitter.com/Bmc1UgaSS4

Twitter users speculate Rogan's dislike for Black people stems from his wife's relationship with Dino.
Other Twitter users were concerned that Rogan would make crude racist remarks on his podcasts, having an adopted biracial daughter.
Wait so H-Town’s song “Knockin’ Da Boots” was about a white woman who the lead singer Kevin had a biracial daughter with and that white woman is now married to Joe Rogan’s racist ass ………. Black history month is in hell this year!

I think Joe might be dealing with internal issues regarding black people(men especially) because of the fact that his wife’s first love and “baby daddy”is this guy(man on the far left). In fact, every time I now hear “knockin da boots” I laugh and think about Joe Rogan. pic.twitter.com/RaZTcJOXhL

Rogan has come under fire after clips of him using the N-word surfaced online, as Blavity previously reported. The podcast host has since apologized for the comments.
