The FAT Fried and Tasty Facebook page has been inundated with messages from the public since Rahman posted the images. Rahman is best known for his work with Fear of a Brown Planet, and for his standup routine on reverse racism. “Melbourne hipsters pay tribute to a dead black artist by opening a Biggie Smalls themed fried chicken restaurant, The Notorious F.A.T, complete with photoshopped mural of Biggie holding a fried chicken drumstick, Aunt Jemima wallpaper, and pictures of white families with guns,” Rahman wrote on Facebook. The advertisements were first used in the 1880s and have been widely criticised for perpetuating racist stereotypes.
