Nick Cannon ignited a racial debate earlier today after the funnyman posted pics of himself in whiteface as his white alter-ago 'Connor Smallnut.'
Cannon, who was inspired by Robert Downey Jr's Kirk Lazarus/Sgt. Osiris blackface character from the film Tropic Thunder announced that his new album White People Party Music will be released on April 1.
Fans however, weren't so happy at Cannon's new character. The actor recived mixed reviews on the character, with some believing that the actor's character is offensive and slightly racist.
Cannon vented to followers on Twitter and seemed to be surprised about the backlash.
"Damn I didn't know it was going to be this hard being White! ... I'm exhausted with all this "privilege" LOL #WhitePeopleProblems"
Check out some photos of 'Connor Smallnut' above. Do you think it's offensive or funny?
