“Guys, I love Eminem but like, even the hip hop moment at the Oscars is white? I just… 🤷🏽♀️,” Chrissie Fit wrote on her Twitter.
“Not a racist, Joey. Just VERY into equality and representation. The reason why that was uncomfortable to see is because POC are underrepresented at the Oscars and because of the origins of hip hop,” she added in response to someone’s reply to her. “Oh, and I’ll take your mean words as motivation! Thanks 😘”
