Toward the end of the game show  Szmajkowski won and he donated theprize money to a children’s cancer organization called the Przystań Nadziei Foundation. But the performance quickly went viral on Twitter, where fans voiced their thoughts about the disturbing clip while others were wondering why blackface was necessary in the first place. One person  suggested that Szmajkowski should have stuck with tunes from Eminem.
