After using a racial slur during an interview on Friday night's Real Time With Bill Maher some artists are speaking out against the comedian.
Chance the Rapper, who has been an outspoken voice since stepping onto the scene took to Twitter to express his displeasure, "Please @HBO Do Not Air Another Episode Of Real Time With Bill Maher.” HBO has called Maher's comments, “inexcusable and tasteless” and will remove the segment from future airings.
