Video And Pics After The Jump
Nick Cannon is a jack of all trades. He's an actor, radio personality, television host, rapper and a comedian. In an effort to promote his forthcoming album entitled White People Party Music, Nick has introduced a whiteface alter ego named Connor Smallnut.
"It's official... I'm White!!! #WHITEPEOPLEPARTYMUSIC#Wppm in stores April 1st!!!!!!" he wrote on a photo of his character on Instagram.
However, not everyone is laughing. Some are accusing Nick of being racist. Comparing his whiteface persona to blackface characters of years past that have been universally condemned as being offensive to African Americans.
The Wild N' Out host isn't letting the controversy get him down or stop his promotion of the album which drops April 1.
It's funny how people take themselves so seriously. People love drama! We feed off of it. Just relax and have fun!!
