Lil Wayne Super Bowl Commercial: Is This Racist?

Lil Wayne and Jeff Goldblum will star in a commercial set to air during Super Bowl 50 that people are not reacting to in the same way as they are reacting to Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen promoting Bud Light.


Viewers are finding the latter ad to be funny.


But some are finding the latter to be racist.


A commercial for Apartments.com, the footage is set to The Jeffersons" famous theme song, "Movin on Up."


It features Goldblum as a “Silicon Valley Maverick” who is sitting on top of a grand piano as he rises higher and higher along the skyline, making his way to a deluxe apartment.


Once he reached the top of the building, Goldblum comes across George Washington and Lil Wayne, the latter of whom tells Goldblum"s character he"s "flame-broilin" some burgers" for the big game.


No big deal, right? Weird, but maybe sort of funny?


Not according to those who have labeled it as "low-key racist," per TMZ, because it implies that Lil Wayne is George Washington"s slave.


A source close to the rapper, however, tells the site that the commercial is "meant to be funny and not the least bit offensive."


In short, "people need to calm down," this insider adds.


Watch it below for yourself and then compare it to other Super Bowl 50 commercials:

Kailyn Lowry: Kids "Struggling" as Javi Marroquin Leaves

We’ve known for several months that Javi Marroquin was soon to deploy with the US Air Force for what will probably be a 12-month tour of duty overseas.


But just because they knew it was coming, that doesn’t mean the separation was any easier for Kailyn Lowry and her two sons.



We know now that rumors of Kailyn and Javi breaking up prior to his deployment were bogus, and OK! magazine is reporting that the young mother is having an extremely hard time without her husband by her side.


“Kailyn and Javi stay in touch mostly through FaceTime,” a source tells the tabloid, adding that Lowry has been doing her best to keep herself distracted 


“Kailyn is in school, always busy with the kids and her friend is visiting,” the insider says. “Kailyn misses him, but she’s not going crazy about it. She’s so occupied with the kids and her friend visiting.”


If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, you know Javi and Kailyn have had their ups and downs, but their relationship seemed to be doing better than ever in the weeks leading up to his deployment, so it’s a bit surprising that she’s taking it so well.


Apparently, however, Kailyn has not had an easy time explaining Javi’s absence to her two young sons:


“Isaac and Lincoln are missing Javi really bad,” the source says. “Isaac is struggling with it worse than Lincoln.


“Isaac really doesn’t get it [that his dad is gone]. “He talks to him on FaceTime and asks to call him, but that’s it.”


The insider adds that things will “get harder” around the house once Kailyn’s friend leaves.


Here’s hoping Ms. Lowry doesn’t attempt to cope by getting more plastic surgery.
