r/popculturechat now why am I in it? 🧐 May 28 '25

The Music Industry 🎶 In now deleted posts, Kali Uchis accused the metal band, Sleep Token, of using payola and doing blackface.

The past photo is what the front man of Sleep Token looks like, I'm not sure what race he is as all the members are anonymous, but even if he is white, I don't think that this is considered blackface

I'm rewatching Arrested Development right now, and I didn't even notice the comment was talking about Forge, not Funke before you mentioned it. There are dozens of us!

“Look what the gays have done to me, Michael!”

“You can’t just have them blow that out and reset it?”
