Lord Jamar took to Instagram to slam Eminem for an old picture of him rocking a Will Smith mask – Jamar says it’s Blackface!!
“Hey @eminem please put this in context for me… I’m trying to understand why you’d be clowning in a BLACKFACE MASK backstage at the MTV AWARDS? You should come on the YANADAMEEN GODCAST so we can discuss this among other things. #weneedanswers,” the Brand Nubian rapper captioned the post.
The screenshot if from the 2000 MTV Europe Music Awards. Em pre-recorded his acceptance speech wearing the mask because he could not make the awards show in person.
Fans were quick to defend Em in the comments section, but according to Jamar, as a white man, Em has no business rocking the mask:
“If it is a WILL SMITH MASK, what gives this WHITEBOY the right to wear it? Especially in EUROPE where he knew he could get away with it, also if it’s NO PROBLEM then why have these pics been hidden up until now?” he clapped right.
Is Lord Jamar, right?
