Actor Gwyneth Paltrow has come under fire after tweeting a picture with the caption “Ni**as in Paris for real” while attending Jay-Z & Kanye West’s Watch The Throne tour in Paris. According to The Daily Mail, Paltrow made a guest appearance onstage during the show, dancing while Jay-Z and Kanye West performed.
Paltrow’s tweet caught the attention of Black American celebrity B. Scott, who questioned via their Twitter account whether the tweet was acceptable or racist. In response, Paltrow tweeted it was simply using the title of the song ‘Ni**as in Paris’ and left the tweet in question published on her Twitter account.
Gwyneth Paltrow: “Hold Up. It’s the title of the song!”
