One more user on Twitter compared Harlow to Eminem and Justin Timberlake. "Jack Harlow is a experiment to see how easily it would be to for white people to infiltrate, manipulate, and even be praised by the black community," they wrote in their tweet. "We let them slide with Justin Timberlake and Eminem and now we are being punished for our ignorance…"

The recent photos come just months after the release of Harlow's latest project. The Louisville native dropped his third studio album, Jackman, to mixed reviews back in April. In doing so, he worked with several producers including FnZ, DJ Dahi, Coop the Troop, Boi-1da, and more. The project included no features and released with minimal prior promotion.
