BARBADIANS HAVE been going bananas on social media over the recent rebranding of Sugar Ultra lounge as Monkey Nutts.
At the club’s opening last Saturday, patrons got the chance to see the refurbishment, including the artwork depicting musical icons Elvis Presley, Bob Marley and Michael Jackson in the form of monkeys.
Before being removed due to criticism by users, the images’ representations on the club’s social media pages were clear, down to Jackson in his trademark hat, glove and shoes, Marley with his dreads and Elvis in his white sequinned suit and glasses.
While mocking its artistic integrity some people described the images as “racist” while calling for the club to rebrand.
