“Shark Tank” star Daymond John caught some backlash for praising a speech given at the funeral for DMX by controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
"What a powerful speech from Minister Louis Farrakhan for the #dmxfuneral," John wrote in a since-deleted tweet (via The New York Post). "His deep understanding of the Bible and respect for other people’s religions was truly inspiring. #RIPDMX." After users pointed out Farrakhan’s past history of anti-Semitism, which includes calling the Jewish people "satanic" and publicly questioning the Holocaust, John took to Twitter again to issue a statement explaining that he was unfamiliar with Farrakhan prior to issuing his first tweet.
