Bruno Mars candidly slams Hollywood’s cultural appropriations: ‘Its why I'm here’

Award winning singer Bruno Mars gets candid about his constant fight against Hollywood for its cultural appropriation.

Mars got candid during his appearance on The Breakfast Club alongside Anderson .Paak and touched on his Puerto Rican- Filipina heritage.

Mars was quoted saying, “You know, people love to accuse you of being a cultural thief, which I find interesting because you are a person of color. What would you say to those people?”

“I would say you can't look at an interview, you can't find an interview where I am not talking about the entertainers that have come before me.”

“And the only reason why I'm here is because of James Brown. It's because of Prince, Michael [Jackson]. That's the only reason why I'm here.”
