Jason Derulo has denied using photoshop his viral “anaconda” underwear photo on Instagram. The singer denied the accusation, claiming “us Haitians look different”.
The photo of the singer sent fans into a frenzy as he showed off his toned body in nothing but his boxers. Fans were shocked and distracted by what was in those pants.
Check out the photo below:
In an interview, Jason Derulo denied the Instagram photoshop rumour. “It was in Bali. I honestly [didn’t] feel like that was going to be my most liked picture when I woke up this morning,” he told TMZ.
“I posted the motherf**ker very early. It was [a photo] from months ago. It was not even something that I just did.
“Photoshop? Photoshop? Don’t make me [pull it out]. There’s not enough women in this area. Just know that us Haitians, we look different.”
The 30-year-old has a sense of humour about his thirsty fans. He shared a photo on his Instagram with another man doing his now-iconic pose, except with a stick stuck down his pants.
When he posted the original photo, a cheeky fan asked what he “had in his pants?” To this, Derulo replied that he had an “anaconda” in there – comparing his schlong to a large snake.
Weapon of mass distraction
Jason may have posted the saucy snap to distract his fans from the recent backlash he has faced over his new movie Cats. The singer turned actor recently responded to the relentless criticism of the upcoming film.
He told the Australian publication Confidential that he was shocked by the divisive reaction when the trailer dropped. “I don’t think I have ever seen such a polarising reaction from any other trailer ever,” Jason said.
He saw the original stage show and believes the confronting visuals were a part of the experience.
“I knew that was what it would be from the jump and that is what I hoped it would be because that is what I felt like was the magic of the stage play,” Jason said.
“It is unlike anything that you’ve ever seen before so everything that has been said about it being creepy or left and weird, it is all of that and more,” he added.
