Jason Aldean dressed up for Halloween as rapper Lil Wayne – and was pictured in costume in blackface.
Country singer Aldean decided to step into the rap music genre to celebrate Halloween, channeling Lil Wayne. In addition to the hip hop artist’s signature dreads, headband and shades, Aldean decided to go a step further and darken his skin.
Since a picture emerged of Aldean in costume, his publicist Tyne Parrish has confirmed that Aldean had dressed as Lil Wayne for Halloween, but declined to address the matter of blackface.
