WHOMST?! Sinners fans are dragging The New Yorker back to the drawing board for a questionable “caricature” of Wunmi Mosaku they say put the “ill” in illustration. Regular readers defended it as one of the publication’s signature sketches, but a Black woman artist named DeAnn Wiley showed up and showed out with a portrait perfectly fit for a queen!
The mesmerizing Ms. Mosaku and the rest of the Sinners team have endured more than enough disrespect after the BBC fumbled the N-word incident at the BAFTA Awards, and social media isn’t letting this unrecognizable rendering slide. The New Yorker features an enchanting story about the actress reconnecting with her family’s literal and ancestral Nigerian roots through her character Annie’s root work. Before joining this journey through herbal healing, history, and hoodoo, this shady sketch stopped many readers in their tracks as a “slap in the face.”
