Blackface Performers Cause Controversy In Poland

🇵🇱 Blackface Performers Cause Controversy In Poland Singer Kuba Szmajkowski and actor Pola Gonciarz have been roundly criticised for wearing blackface, with Szmajkowski also sporting cornrows and using the word ‘n*gger’ on stage. Szmajkowski won the second episode of the 19th series of Twoja Twarz Brzmi Znajomo – the Polish iteration of long-running franchise Your Face Sounds Familiar – after performing Lamar’s track Humble, which went uncensored on the broadcast. The outrage comes after another blackface scandal during the 2021 series, in which the show said it was “very surprised” by the backlash of another performer in the get-up. “The intention of each star performing on the show, as well as of the whole production team, is to recreate the original performance in the most precise manner, while honouring the original artist,” a show statement read.
