Jack Harlow‘s Jackman album cover art location has allegedly been vandalized by the Crips who tagged the Louisville garage with blue graffiti.
Harlow surprised fans with the release of Jackman last week but was, unfortunately, greeted with another surprise when finding out the garage used in the Highlands neighborhood of his hometown for the album’s cover art had been vandalized.

The Courier-Journal broke the news and reported that hundreds of fans had been stopping by to take photos with the now-famous Louisville landmark on Richmond Drive, which has been tagged with “Crips” in blue spraypaint across the shabby garage door.
Jackman arrived on Friday (April 28) without any previously-released singles or features and, according to Chart Data, is on pace to debut at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 with about 40,000 total album-equivalent units sold in the first week.
The album played a part in Harlow causing a stir on social media last week when he claimed to be “the hardest white boy” to pick up a microphone since Eminem on the cut “They Don’t Love It.”
“Ya boy’s strivin’ to be the most dominant ever/ The hardest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters,” Harlow raps on the Hollywood Cole-produced joint.

“And hold the comments ’cause I promise you I’m honestly better than whoever came to your head right then/ They ain’t cut from the same thread like him/ They don’t study, doin’ work to get ahead like him/ They don’t toss and turn in the fuckin’ bed like him.”
The lyrics are in reference to Em’s diamond-certified classic “Lose Yourself,” where Marshall Mathers raps: “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy/ There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti.”
The internet had a lot to say about Jack Harlow’s bold bars, with a few people pushing back on his claim on Twitter.
“No way Jack Harlow just said he’s better than Eminem. I’m off the Jack Harlow train bro,” one user wrote — even though Harlow’s bars don’t hear him say he’s “better” than Slim Shady.

Another added: “Jack harlow not better than eminem btw,” wrote one user, while another added:
Others applauded Jack’s hustle, with one user writing the bar was a “crazy ass thing to say but gotta respect it.”
