Nick Cannon is getting some serious flack from Internet users after he tried to pull off a stunt in promoting his new album, “White People Party Music.”
Mr. Mariah Carey has been labelled “racist,” “ignorant” and “hypocritical” for the stunt – which also saw him show off his bizarre new “Connor Smallnut” persona in a series of videos.
Cannon, 33, sent social media sites into meltdown after sharing an Instagram snap of himself Sunday.
“It’s official… I’m White!!! #WHITEPEOPLEPARTYMUSIC #Wppm in stores April 1st!!!!!!Dude Go Get It!!!Join The Party!!!!” he wrote alongside the image.
“#GoodCredit #DogKissing #BeerPong #FarmersMarkets #FistPumping #CreamCheeseEating #RacialDraft “Bro I got drafted!!” he added.
His character, who looks like a skater kid, wore a beanie, wig and false teeth – with a white T-shirt and 80s style jeans completing the trying-to-be satirical outfit.
With some fans criticizing him for the post, Cannon tweeted back: “”Duuuude everybody Chil-lax!!!!” ~ Connor Smallnut’.”
He then added: “It’s funny how people take themselves so seriously. People love drama! We feed off of it. Just relax and have fun!!”
