Daddy Freeze says superhero movie is overhyped

Despite the accolades pouring in from every corner of the world about "Black Panther," Freeze said the movie does not promote black culture.

Freeze said the movie does not promote black culture, and that it is overhyped.

While commenting on an anti-Black Panther Instagram post, he said the producers and financiers of the movie who are White folks are only cashing in on black people's sentiments.

"...the overhyped movie is neither promoting black culture nor adding any significant value to us... They are using our sentiments to cash in, while the real money makers are the producers, the marketers and the financier..... and they ain’t us!" Freeze said.

The Ryan Coogler-directed action movie has proved wrong the notion that films with black casts underperform overseas - grossing over $184.6 million outside the US.

Last weekend, "Black Panther" raked in an estimated $192 million in North America alone.

The movie is Marvel Studios' first film directed by an African-American.
