Lil Jon Trump Called Me 'Uncle Tom' On 'Celeb Apprentice'

Lil Jon says Donald Trump referred to him as "Uncle Tom" during his stint as a contestant on "Celebrity Apprentice" ... but he's not sure there was any ill will behind the comment.

A report by The Daily Beast says during an episode of Jon's season, the rapper dressed as Uncle Sam. The report states Trump -- on more than one occasion -- referred to a dressed-up Lil Jon as "Uncle Tom."

Jon posted about the report Friday night, saying, "When this "Uncle Tom" incident happened on Celebrity Apprentice in the boardroom several of my castmates and I addressed Mr. Trump immediately when we heard the comment. I can't say if he knew what he was actually saying or not, but he did stop using that term once we explained it's offensiveness."
