Default Single Cover of 'The Lazy Song'
By Bruno Mars...



Is it implying that he looks like a monkey? Surely it could be taken offensively... much worse than Kanye's stupid album cover imo which caused a load of fuss, lmao.

Oh yeah, that makes sense.

But I tend to not like anything Bruno Mars does so I dislike this.

Well because black people have been compared to looking like monkeys before... it just seems a like he could be saying something about that racist insult.

Or it could all be innocent but it makes no sense why?

It would make much sense if it was racist, it's not like black people asre stereotypically lazy or anything, I wouldnt read too much into it

Any non-black person could get away with it. Why can't he?

Get your priorities right. It's the song that's offensive. Offensively shit.
