Jason Aldean has sparked controversy with his Halloween costume.
Last week, a photo was posted on NashvilleGab.com, and it showed Aldean in long dreadlocks and blackface. And according to his representative, Tyne Parrish, yes, he indeed was going as Lil Wayne.

Sigh.
How could that be a good idea? How’s surrounding him that thinks that’s a good idea?
The country singer has yet to issue an apology for his 100 percent not-accidentally racist costume, but he may want to start with Lil’ Wayne if he does: Aldean and Wayne are two of Tidal’s artist-owners, meaning Aldean appropriated his own business partner.
Aldean is among a group of stars – including Julianne Hough – who have been criticized for wearing blackface.
Of course, Twitter is not amused:https://twitter.com/DrunkenMartina/status/663764721796030464
Blackface is racist. Literally running out of ways to say this. #JasonAldean, you can dress as Weezy w/o #blackface. pic.twitter.com/5tCJ4JKixT
