AceShowbiz - Canadian rapper PARTYNEXTDOOR has received a number of criticisms after he made an insensitive remark about Jews on Twitter on Thursday, July 27. The 24-year-old spitter basically wondered why black people buy gold chains, but the Internet quickly took it the wrong way as he added some points about Jewish people.
In the now-deleted tweet, PARTYNEXTDOOR referred to the Jews as jewelers who sell chains to the black community as he wrote, "The Jews...sorry jewelers are selling dawg chains. Lol it's actually funny what black people do when they have financial freedom."
Gold is actually a great investment, not jewelry. Should of just said that. Who owns it has no relevance. @partynextdoor pic.twitter.com/2GppeipCOZ
