In a series of posts on Twitter, the rapper called out the alcohol brand for being "terribly racist." The commercial features a bartender who spots a woman drinking white wine. Figuring she should be drinking Heineken, he slides a beer towards her, which passes a black woman and a black man. When the woman sees the beer and picks it up the tagline reads, "Sometimes, lighter is better."

But I gotta just say tho. The 'sometimes lighter is better' Heineken commercial is terribly racist omg." "I'mm not saying boycott them or go off im just noticing how often it happens," he continued.
