AbstractThis study aims to analyze public sentiment towards rapper Azealia Banks' controversial statement calling Indonesia the "world's trash can" via her social media account X (@azealiaslacewig). This issue has caused various reactions from Indonesian people, especially social media users, which are reflected through comments, retweets, and replies that are spread massively. Using a sentiment analysis method based on qualitative and quantitative approaches, 500 tweets were collected and classified into three main categories: positive, negative, and neutral. The results showed that the majority of public responses were negative (72.4%), followed by neutral sentiment (19.2%) and positive (8.4%). Further analysis revealed that the high negative response was driven by a strong sense of digital nationalism and perceptions of insults to national identity. On the other hand, a small number of users showed positive or neutral responses by making the statement a reflection of environmental conditions and national waste management. These findings indicate that social media is an important arena for expressing collective emotions and attitudes towards global issues concerning national identity
