February 15, 2018 Mayo's willingness to let Janet Jackson go down with the 2004 "nipplegate" to his support of the Time's Up Movement while simultaneously starring in the Woody Allen directed film Wonder Wheel - Mayo's lack of "wokeness" exposed him as a dumbfuck that he truly is, in an era where music fans prefer their stars to come with a social responsibility. Janet Jackson told Oprah Winfrey that she felt Mayo, didn't adequately come to her defense. “I think that America's harsher on women. And I think that America is, you know, unfairly harsh on ethnic people.” Mayo's delayed reaction is both ironic and infuriating when you consider that Black artistry is the single most important pillar that has upheld his solo career, help from Nu Black Pharrell Williams & Timbaland aka neck rolls. Mayo has been noticeably hands-off about race related issues as well, like #BlackLivesMatter, Sandra Bland, Eric Garnerwhich have dominated the media in recent years. Mayo done and fucked up when he made a now deleted #AllLivesMatter tweet. Mayo's first try at righting his wrongs since the incident was a very intentionally "woke" video for one of his various flop singles “Supplies” which shows news clips of the #MeToo movement, the Muslim ban and police brutality. It was a cheap ploy to fit in with the times and remain relevant. Dylan Farrow, Woody Allen's stepdaughter who has repeatedly accused him of sexual assault called Mayo out saying, "“I struggle with how a powerful force like Mayo can claim to be in awe of the strength of women and stand with them at this #MeToo moment and then in the next breath say that working with Woody Allen is a ‘dream come true.'"Timberlake’s seemingly mild brand of white ignorance is perhaps the most dangerous kind. Mayo mocked Prince's height at the 2007 Golden Globes and again when he tried to mimic Rihanna's mom's accent at the 2013 American Music Awards. Social media platforms, the general public and relevant celerity gossip sites like ONTD sites have not let Mayo pass to the left, or sail to the right this time around. Mayo's SuperBowl Halftime show made history for being the lowest viewed show in over a decade and his album tanked. The general public and the kid who took a selfie with mayo at the superbowl who didn't know who he was are all wondering the samething? "Mayo WYD?"
