Gwyneth Paltrow created a stir on Friday after tweeting the N-word while at a Watch the Throne concert in Paris.
The Actress/singer tweeted a picture of herself on stage with rappers Kanye West and Jay-Z while at the concert with the caption “Ni**as in paris for real.” Soon after the tweet, people took to the internet to voice their negative responses at Gwyneth for her comment and to question whether the term was used in a derogatory way.
Soon after, Gwyneth responded to the backlash in a tweet saying “”Hold up. It’s the title of the song!” Kanye and Jay-Z went on to perform that song 11 times at their concert that night.
On a TMZ poll which asked whether the N-Word was fair game for Gwyneth or not, 81% of people said it was fair game while 19% said the N-word is reserved for African Americans.
