Rapper, Ice-T Slams Journalist For Saying Idris Elba Can’t Play James Bond Because Of His Skin Colour

There is an uproar currently brewing on social media on whether English actor, Idris Elba should be the next James Bond in the upcoming action film. Although the actor had suggested it should be a woman, most fans insist he would be perfect for the role.

But Journalist and media personality, Katie Olivia Hopkins posted a minute skit on Twitter to give her opinion, stating the skin colour of the 45-year-old  Elba disqualifies him from being the next James Bond character, a statement that doesn’t sit well with phenomenal rapper and actor, Ice-T.

“No, Idris Elba. You cannot be #JamesBond, no matter how many tweets you put out fishing for attention. It’s not because you are a gentleman of colour. It’s because James Bond isn’t…”#IdrisElba007pic.twitter.com/cwqkRnTisU

Music executive and actor, Ice-T feels felt otherwise about her opinion and re-tweeted her tweet saying, “This bitch sounds stupid…”.
