Miquita Oliver criticizes Jack Whitehall's BRITs hosting as inappropriate

Miquita Oliver has publicly criticized Jack Whitehall's hosting of the 2025 BRIT Awards, labeling his performance as 'inappropriate' and 'condescending.' On her podcast with Lily Allen, she expressed concern that his humor, particularly over ten jokes about musicians using cocaine, undermined the artists being celebrated. Oliver argued that Whitehall's approach was outdated and did not reflect the current music industry's reality, describing it as more aligned with 'the heady days' of rock and roll rather than the present 'influencer, corporate' environment. She emphasized that the event should honor the creativity and artistry of the performers rather than diminish it with glib remarks. Despite Allen's defense of Whitehall, Oliver maintained that his hosting style was not suitable for the occasion. The backlash included social media users expressing their shock at his choice of jokes, particularly one referencing P Diddy amidst ongoing legal troubles for the rapper.
