Jack Whitehall criticized for controversial P Diddy joke at BRIT Awards

Jack Whitehall is facing significant backlash for a controversial joke made about P Diddy while hosting the BRIT Awards at London's O2 Arena. The quip, made after JADE's performance, referenced Diddy's 'white party' and was deemed tasteless by many viewers, sparking outrage on social media. Critics expressed their shock, with comments highlighting the inappropriateness of the joke given the context of JADE's performance, suggesting that Whitehall's humor is outdated. This marks Whitehall's fifth time hosting the event, and he commented on maintaining edgy humor amidst scrutiny from producers. Despite the backlash, Whitehall explained his creative process, which involves rehearsing and crafting jokes months in advance while keeping some surprises for the live audience. The incident has led to renewed calls for him to be replaced as host in future events.
