Can someone explain this to me?

Is he saying it's racist?

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That’s the implication here, yes.

Hopefully it was just a joke though.

Nah, this is 100% about Hennessy being a stereotypical drink for black people.

Yeah, US & UK hip-hop and grime “promotes” cognac quite heavily. There’s even the classic Busta Rhymes joint “Pass the Courvoisier”.
