Savvy Internet users are calling out celebrities for using publicity stunts to promote their upcoming albums, TV shows, or movies.
Actor Lakeith Stanfield underestimated the intelligence level of his social media followers when he uploaded a rap video titled “offensive freestyle”, which included lyrics such as, “Boy you’re dressed like trash you an eight six, take that choke chain back, that’s some gay s**t” and “F*g, I don’t really want to brag but I’m straight rich… F**k them b**ches out the a*s and I’m famous and all these gay n***as mad ’cause they hate this.”
After the inevitable public backlash, Stanfield “apologized” for uploading the video.
“I’ve never been homophobic. Have never agreed with homophobic thought or hatred toward anyone for that matter,” he said. “I’m a person that moves in love and I want to promote and continue to push that.”
But his social media followers didn’t buy his “apology.” None of us knew the actor has a movie coming out in 2 weeks. So his stunt worked.
One user wrote: “Lakeith Stanfield really uploaded a video of himself reciting a prewritten homophobic rap two weeks before his feature film drops, unbelievable.”
Stanfield, 26, is best known as boyfriend and baby daddy to actress Xosha Roquemore, 33.

He was just being silly…..I like him in Atlanta and I want to see his new movie that’s coming out. I think he will be the next generation Denzel.
How do you pronounce Xosha? Is it So-sha?
That’s all I got from this…
i knew he had a movie coming out. i also see yeah, this is stuntish-behavior.
Ok what’s that on his head! Bird’s nest?
This man is THE NEXT BIG THING & future OSCAR WINNER!
I attended a few of his SAG Screenings.He is my favorite new all around actor at the moment. EVERY role he plays is completely different and out ranges the last one. The last movie I saw of him “Come Sunday” although the role was small had me in tears.

His new movie actually looks good, going to check it out. And his wife is DJ’s wife on the Connors. He was just rhyming words not everything is homophobic.
He must be a mature 26?
Maybe Skosha? Idk my russian is rusty
He has a black woman. NicE!!!
omg I’m over it! Unless we going to keep the same energy ACROSS the board…. I really don’t care about folks being sensitive about words. Everybody be talking reckless these days.
When stunts go wrong. I have never heard of this guy before…
Not tiday devil
Definitely in poor taste, but I hope there’s no malice behind his words because I like him as an actor and already planned to go see his movie
Right. He’s a very talented guy
Don’t really know much about this actor besides his role in Get Out to be honest, so his publicity stunt did work even though it’s in horrible taste. He’s not homophobic but he’s zeroing in on gay people, calling folks f*g? Yeah, makes sense. He sounds like Rosanne.
Not. snuff mouth, M.Bjordan
He probably been high for a couple days. Not making excuses, but that’s my opinion.
Xosha is pretty.
Nevuary….
I also would like to nominate M. B. Jordan to be traded in the next Chappell sponsored race draft…..
At first glance, she kinda resembles Brandy.
She is pretty.
She is pretty. Reminds me of a young Brandy.
I thought it was her at first too.
He look like Lee in that pic they posted last night, LMAO!!!
Me too
Dude better be careful. The gays can destroy your career in Hollywood if you get on their bad side.
I swear ppl just love being fake outraged in 2018
i was wondering where i knew his face from.
Denzel is one of a kind but I definitely don’t see Michael as a contender. He’s just blah for me acting wise. What about the actor who Chad Boseman? He has some acting skills.
Facts! Remember Isaiah Washington? Is he still working in Hollywood?
not droopy jaws…why tall try to hype up the basic
I have more respect for people who just own up to they B.S. if that’s how you feel so be it aslong as you not affecting my life.
And don’t forget me Roxie Moxie Doxie Hoxie hoe… ? You still on my hit list ??
I think he’s doing Stds commercials ?
Dude You so right… I destroy a lot of niggas on these streets. Since im retired im bored. I have the time!
Oh well, better be careful, them sissy jews are ruthless
SMDH… I liked him on Atlanta and he played the hell outta that role in Get Out… He a buster for that song and rebuttal
It doesn’t make a man seem “manly” to single out gays and voice so much dislike for people you don’t even know… Yeah that’s homophobic alright…. IMO a man who is secure in his sexuality and manhood doesn’t take pride in talking down on other people (about anything), let alone get angry or waste time bringing attention to anything homosexual related.
Chile No!!!!His career never recovered from that homophobic slur,even after takin some kinna training
Chile that’s all hype he ain’t put asses in no damn seat..ion know why the black media is trying to put him as the next black sex symbol..he look just like droopy the dog https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/802ee3ca7ea99ee0a777560fc83fcabd1da3eb8ad8e0faf6db31e1dc48633a30.jpg
I haven’t seen that one yet, but he was extremely good in Crown Heights.
I first thought that was Katt Williams… smh
Chipmunk cheeks
What’s the problem? I feel the same way… ILL REPEAT HIS EXACT WORDS…so consider his lyrics on rotation as far I’m concerned! Bye!
who are these?
Fux the gays!! Better issues to get outraged about! Murder and mayhem on the streets.. BREEDING OUTRAGED ABOUT THAT!
WTF does every one have to apologize for NOT agreeing with the lifestyle of LGBTZURZUHRHTHHGG it’s ridiculous.
Chile what is this… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/892e3f763f2c7d0790d2645254a6779b5747668a3ec5cc7ed296e6689a413bd1.jpg …..
I just cant!!
He was in the movie “Get Out”. When the main character takes a picture of him and the flash hits his eyes, his nose starts to bleed and he snaps out of the trance he was in.
ok…
Aww! You care about me SO much that you came back to me after a whole week! Glad I could stay on your brain for that long. ???
You was tho… ??
LMAO!!! No! lol
I thought that was Brandy for a sec.
He looks rough to be 26
Never heard of this dude?.
He is doing his shame walk for whatever Shriner or masonic organization he os a part of. Pretty sure they are using this guys DNA to clone Chapelle
Nah he’s just compromising his manhood by putting on a wig just like how they have men put on a dress in order to get to that next level of fame…it’s all part of the initiation ritual. He’ll pop up with some blonde hair shortly. Mark my words.
I instantly read “Moesha” despite the spelling…..?????
“But he was extremely good in Crown Heights.”
BRILLIANT!
Lakeith Stanfield?? Xosha Roquemore ???
Harpo, who dese peepuhs??
The one putting asses in seats and bills in his pockets is Chadwick Boseman. Hollywood loves anyone of any color who can headline a billion dollar box office draw.
Me too.
Is that the guy from the show Atlanta…. Darius
That Part!! @UmYeaThatToo:disqus
that be Darius !!! He is funny as hell….dont know his babby momma tho…but he is funny….he got what he wanted….A RESPONSE….lol
…and I thought that was Brandy in the pic
This is y Gay’s are called fa@@ats, because they always crying and complaining everybody ain’t with that gay shit, and if this sexy chocolate black man want’s to play his self wearing a dam wig then that’s what he’s doing playing his self because he looks stupid
The black guy from Get Out who needed a nap after they took a pic of him with the cellphone. His nose bled.
Topic: Bruh, sit down. The publicity stunts are tired, in general.
Exactly lol ?
He also stars on Atlanta. I have no clue who she is.
OMG, you with the shade! lmao. He is best known as the boyfriend and baby daddy of Xosha. I have no clue of who she is, however he stars in the hit TV show, Atlanta! He was in Get Out, The incredible Jessica James and many more!
Really Sandra! Everyone know’s him as “Get Out” , staaaahp it! If anything, we don’t know her.
i think it was FUNNY
we know who runs HOLLYWEIRD
“DumpTrump” never APOLIGIZE
#gtfoh
Don’t forget Atlanta and Straight Outta Compton.
