There’s been online uproar after world famous Quincy Jones slammed Ireland for being racist.

84-yr-old Quincy Jones worked with Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Frank Sinatra among many other famous names.

Jones said he noticed how racist Ireland is when he stayed in U2’s Bono’s house for a holiday.

Jones told GQ magazine that he met Bono when the Dubliner invited him to meet Pope John Paul at the Vatican in 1999.

He said: “All the guys in the Vatican had these Vatican black shoes.

“He had on some burgundy wingtips, man, with thin tan rib socks, man.

“We had to go and kiss his hand before we left.

“And when I kissed his hand, I looked down and saw those shoes and it just fell out of my mouth. I said, ‘Oh, my man’s got some pimp shoes on.’ And he heard me.

“When he died, I grabbed USA Today, and Bono said, ‘Quincy said he had some lovely loafers on.’ Bono’s a great guy. I stay at his castle in Dublin, because Ireland and Scotland are so racist it’s frightening.

“He said, ‘Try, Quincy, to assimilate, but it’s not coming easy.’ So I stay in his castle.”

Jones said he has 22 girlfriends around the world, all of whom know of eachother and all are much much younger than him.
