The Roots drummer Questlove has fired back against accusations that he demanded that two white cameramen be fired from “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
In a statement on behalf of Questlove, the musician’s spokeswoman called the allegations, contained in a lawsuit filed Wednesday, as “ridiculous” and “disrespectful” to him.
“Questlove denies the ridiculous allegations made in this lawsuit,” the statement provided to TheWrap on Thursday reads. “Racism is REAL and exists throughout the world and for these gentlemen to claim victim is not only disrespectful to Questlove and his band mates, but to all that truly endure racism on a daily basis.”
