Jamie Foxx is facing criticism for his rendition of the American national anthem at the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight.
The 47-year-old Oscar-winning actor and singer, who took to the ring to perform the notoriously difficult Star-Spangled Banner, was accused of “butchering” the anthem by Twitter users, who also mocked his “Hallelujah” at the end of the song, Stuff.co.nz reported.
Even Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted laughing in the audience.
The event was similar to that of Christina Aguilera’s, when the singer had faced backlash for her 2011 Superbowl performance, and of Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler’s croaky rendition in 2012. (ANI)
