Gwyneth Paltrow ignited a firestorm of criticism after blasting the N-word to her one million Twitter followers this weekend … while describing a Jay-Z and Kanye Westconcert in Paris.

The tweet triggered a tidal wave of negative internet buzz … with fans questioning whether Gwyneth was using the term in a derogatory way. GP later responded unapologetically,
Hold up. It’s the title of the song! RT@lovebscott Okay or Not? @GwynethPaltrow Tweets The N-Word: buzzlov3.com/okay-or-not-gw… say.ly/IIs3rY4

Jay and Kanye did go on to perform their hit song “Ni**as in Paris” a whopping 11 times that night.
