Jack Harlow's aunt was fooled by a spot-on SNL impersonation. Discover the hilarious mix-up and the album controversy that fueled the comedy sketch.

AceShowbiz - Jack Harlow recently revealed that his family was tricked by Ben Marshall’s impersonation of him on Saturday Night Live that even his aunt believed it was truly him. The rapper shared this amusing mix-up on his Instagram Stories.

Ben Marshall portrayed Jack Harlow during the Weekend Update segment of Saturday Night Live, donning the very same outfit the rapper wore to the Marty Supreme film premiere last December. The impression was so spot-on and exaggerated that it fooled Harlow’s own aunt, who sent him a text message expressing pride for his appearance on the show and for “addressing everything.”

The “everything” his aunt referred to relates to the recent discussions surrounding Harlow’s latest album, Monica, released last month. The album sparked some controversy due to Harlow’s decision to “get Blacker” with his sound, a move he explained to The New York Times by saying, “I love Black music. I love the sound of Black music.” He also acknowledged being aware of the current political climate and the safer position many of his white peers have taken.

During the Saturday Night Live sketch, Ben Marshall humorously referenced the various nicknames social media users had created for Jack Harlow following the controversy. These included playful monikers like “LL Cool Whip,” “D’Anglo,” “Jay-ZZ Top,” and “Lil Wayne’s World,” which added to the comedic impact of the segment.

In his Instagram post, Jack Harlow expressed amazement that his aunt, a close family member, was genuinely convinced by the exaggerated portrayal. He posted a photo of himself wearing a black bonnet, looking incredulous, and captioned it, “My aunt that I am related to actually thought that was me.”
