Mountain Dew Pulls A Tyler, The Creator Commercial

Mountain Dew pulls their latest Tyler commercial following a statement on Dr. Boyce Watkins blog, ”Mountain Dew Releases Arguably the Most Racist Commercial in History.” In the ad, Tyler's voice over character, Felicia The Goat, intimidates an old White lady while choosing a criminal from an all Black line up. No comment from the Odd Future artist yet, but Mountain Dew stated the following:
“We apologize for this video and take full responsibility. We have removed it from all Mountain Dew channels and Tyler is removing it from his channels as well.”
