Will.i.am has called out the HBO show, Game Of Thrones, for its lack of diversity. The singer admits to watching the show and even says he loves it but has claimed that the lack of diversity annoys him.

The singer and Voice UK coach has said, “Even though there are only two black people on it, I love that show. It's awesome but, yeah, that kinda annoys me that it has only two black characters," when talking to The Sun.

But it’s not the first time that author George RR Martin has been questioned over the lack of diversity in the show. The author explained, “Westeros around 300 AC is nowhere near as diverse as 21st century America," he explained.

The show is set to return to Sky Atlantic for season six on the 25 April at 2am and 9pm.
