Nick Cannon painted on Whiteface to promote his new album with “Wild N’ Out” cast member, Timothy DeLaGhetto, called “White People Party Music.” I can take a joke, but if we get offended when White people do Blackface, how can we say, “Ahh come on, it’s just a joke,” when a Black person does it? Cannon started to receive backlash of major publications cringing and decided to tell the world to “just relax and have fun”
Don’t get your fancy panties in a bunch! It’s funny how people take themselves so seriously. People love drama! We feed off of it. Just relax and have fun!
There’s a major difference between having fun and being offensive. Nick created “Connor Smallnut” for this new album, but also for attention, because let’s be real–when was the last time you paid attention to a Nick Cannon track? I’ll tell you when–10 years ago. “White People Party Music” is Cannon’s second studio album in 10 years, so he could use all the publicity stunts he could get. If reverse racism was a thing–this would be it. Racial double standard anyone?
Let’s say Macklemore was to come out with an album called, “Black People Cookout Music,” and painted himself Black to promote it. What would happen? I can tell you that Kendrick Lamar wouldn’t be the only person fired up about it. Wait–where the heck are you Mariah?! Is it too early for a midlife crisis? (see Nick’s lastest single, “Pajama Pants”)
And then there’s this:
What do you think of Nick Cannon in Whiteface, beauties–hilarious or hurtful?
