Like other posters said I think it's fine if it sounds organic and it's not for the purposes of mockery or trying to act black. A lot of it is part of general speech already, especially with younger people.
I think people that get too hung up or weird about it neglect to realise that language evolves with time and trying to gatekeep it along racial lines is probably a form of racism itself?
Kind of similar to the discourse around cultural appropriation with other cultures wearing traditional dress of other cultures (in a non-mocking way). Also the people that get most hot and bothered about this stuff are other white people honestly.
