Bruno Mars recently opened up and addressed the cultural appropriation claims that he has been facing in the last few weeks. Scroll down to see what he said.
Singer and performer Bruno Mars who has recently been in hot water over cultural appropriation claims is finally addressing the rumours. The Grammy winner recently opened up about the controversial topic and facing it head-on. During an interview on Breakfast Club with his Silk Sonic partner, Anderson Paak, Bruno spoke about people accusing him of cultural appropriation after he sparked an online debate about "his racial ambiguity to cross genres" in music back in 2018. The musician's mom is Filipino and his dad is Puerto Rican and Jewish.
"People love to accuse you of being a cultural thief, which I find interesting because you are a person of colour," host Charlamagne the God told the 24K Magic singer on March 5, adding, "What would you say to those people?" "I would say...You can't look at an interview, you can't find an interview where I'm not talking about the entertainers that've come before me," Bruno began. "And the only reason why I'm here is because of James Brown, is because of Prince, Michael [Jackson]—that's the only reason why I'm here."
"I'm growing up as a kid, watching Bobby Brown [and] saying, 'OK, if that's what it takes to make it, then I've got to learn how to do the running man, I've got to learn how to do the moonwalk,'" he continued. "That's it. And this music comes from love, and if you can't hear that, then I don't know what to tell you."
