Cringe Moment

UGK’s Bun B might not be binging “Tiger King” anytime soon. A few weeks ago, the hip-hop veteran reacted to cringe footage of Joe Exotic going on a rant about not being able to use the N-word.

“No Joe. You’re pathetic. Later for this clown.”

Wait, There’s More

According to reports, the footage is a few years old. In the clip, Joe is walking around questioning why black people get a pass for using the N-word.

Some old footage from 2015 resurfaced showing the “Tiger King” star complaining … “What’s going on in this country? It’s absolutely pathetic. I can’t say the n-word but you can get on YouTube and watch any black man’s video and they’re calling each other the n-word. What the hell?” Joe went on to theorize, “Is this discrimination? I’m white, I can’t say the n-word and they can?” The footage appears to be from his old online reality series “Joe Exotic TV” but it’s only now hitting the fan … due to the popularity of the Netflix documentary.
