There’s a thin line between something being artsy and creative and something being over the top and out of pocket. Pop star Katy Perry veered way past the former and all the way into the latter during a recent performance.
Perry brought out some big, big booty dancing mummies to join her on stage during her set. The images from the performance so some characters had bit butts, big breasts and bright red lips. Many thought she was more mimmickig what she thought black women look like.
Many didn’t take kindly to her portrayl or attempted portrayl of African-American women and most took to twitter to voice their rage.
Noted hip-hop journalist and historian, Davey D was one of the many who asked why something like this is ok
