AceShowbiz - Jay Park has finally responded to racist comments on his NBA photo. The "All I Wanna Do" hitmaker recently got trashed by racist fans after the National Basketball Association shared a photo of him on Facebook.
A representative for AOMG says in a statement, "We talked to Jay Park about the issue and he was not fazed by the racial discrimination and has arrived to Korea safely without any hindrance to his schedules."
In the picture posted on June 10, Jay was seen wearing Cleveland Cavaliers jersey. "Jay Park (AOM) in the house for Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Cleveland!" read the photo caption.
Commenters, who seemed unfamiliar with K-Pop, left racist and rude remarks about Jay. "Is he Kim Jong Un cousin?" asked one fan. A second fan wrote, "Who is that dog eater?" A third fan posted, "Who cares about Kpop anyway?" Another fan commented, "Who's this Kpooop?"
Some fans later came to Jay's defense by explaining his numerous achievements as a K-Pop artist. "Anyone who doesn't know. Jay Park is a Korean Rapper and RnB singer who was raised in America," wrote a fan, "He's also the CEO of his own independent hip-hop label AOMG. And yes he's famous. Just because some of you don't know him doesn't make him a nobody."
