'I come into this place to do a photo shoot and they got Ritz crackers and cheese.
'I'll be like, ain't this a b***h. Y'all didn't know black people was coming.'
In the same vein he explained that if he turned up to the photo shoot and there was fried chicken and watermelon, he would also be annoyed at the stereotype.
