Nick Cannon Dons Whiteface to Promote First Album in 11 Years
Nick Cannon just revealed his first album in 11 years, White People Party Music, is set to drop this spring. And if that doesn't get your attention, he has a marketing ploy to get everyone talking.
Playing a character cakked Connor Smallnut, the African-American singer/rapper/TV host dons whiteface and showcases a bro-tastic accent to promote White People Party Music, due April 1.
Photos and videos of Cannon's whiteface elicited critical comments on social media, with some calling the 33-year-old "racist," "not cool" and claiming this promotes a "double standard." But Cannon is taking it all in stride. See the following tweet:
