Jamie Foxx is speaking up and out in defense of Jimmy Fallon following the blackface storm the comic found himself embroiled in this week.
As reported, ‘The Tonight Show’ host came under fire for a 2000 Saturday Night Live skit – in which he donned blackface when portraying Chris Rock.
He has since apologized.
In the wake of the drama, Foxx has weighed-in and is lending his support.
His words below…
Commenting on an E News post about Fallon’s apology, the actor said:
“He was doing an impression of chris rock. It wasn’t black face. We comedians I know it’s a tough time right now. But this one is a stretch. On a show called in living color we played every race Let this one go. We got bigger fish to fry … #changecourse”
Do you agree with Jamie?

Beyonce did black face back in 2011
Rihanna did black face in her rockstarr 101 music video
Drake did black face back in the day.
When are we gonna cancel these rats?
bloop! plonk! boop.
🤣🤣🤣
Note: we can forgive drake cause he was a teenager.
Beyonce is black you ignorant twat. A black woman CANNOT do engage in blackface.
So we should let it go when it’s a white man but we have to cancel a biracial woman? Ok.
This happened 20 years ago.
Doja was on the racist chat room last week chatting with racist incels
Doja had the number one song in the country and she was still associating with racist incels.
Let’s not forget doja calling beyonce a m***** on camera
I don’t care if it happened 20 years ago. He was still an adult just like Doja is one. If y’all can give a white man a pass y’all might as well give a biracial woman one.

He’s right though. This lil cancel culture needs to die. And to be quite honest, we cancel the wrong people for the wrong thing way too often. There are so many we can use our platform, connections and influence for other things! A man was just wrongfully murdered in the streets, about 2 weeks ago a woman was wrongfully murdered, a youth minister lied and said a black man kidnapped him, a white woman lied on a black to make his life hell just because but were going to cancel Jimmy Fallon for blackface? When black people act out black face as well?
He’s a buck dancing c***.
I stand with Jamie and I’m a black male! Lighten up!!!
Innocent black men are getting killed by police and our president is a racist bigot. There are bigger problems we need to focus on rather than some lame SNL skit from 20 years ago
Then leave America if you hate it so bad. Easy.
So people can accept this but not Doja cat… the only reason why black men have decided to cancel doja is because she said that She doesn’t date black men and they’re are mad even though they’ve done the same to black women.
Men in the industry have never protected black women but come out in droves to protect men and that’s why I’ll never cancel Doja…
