Bruno Mars touches on constant cultural appropriations in Hollywood

Renowned singer and songwriter Bruno Mars sheds light on his long-standing fight against cultural appropriations.

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.”
