Cam Newton refuses to back down to fans accusing him of posting a “gang” photo on Instagram.
Newton isn’t the most active user on social media, but he did post a photo Thursday of himself with several friends. According to The Charlotte Observer, the photo was taken on a trip to Mexico in May. Newton is seen throwing up some letters with his hands, while five others are seen with red bandannas over their faces.
Newton received backlash because some thought he was throwing up a gang sign in the photo. You can see one comment ask whether the photo is of the “Panthers Crips or Bloods.
