Rapper Jack Harlow Faces Backlash for Being Carried over Mud by Black Men at Kentucky Derby

Rapper Jack Harlow is facing backlash over a video that shows him being carried over mud by black men at the Kentucky Derby over the weekend.

The 24-year-old rapper was one of the many celebrities who attended the annual event on Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

A video tweeted by the Kentucky Derby’s official account shows Harlow being carried over mud by two black men — likely in an attempt to keep his shoes clean. The video, however, sparked outrage on social media.
