If you’ve ever been to Washington D.C. and made a stop at Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street, you’re probably aware of the large mural of Bill Cosby’s face on the wall of the famous food spot.
On Monday, the Bill Cosby mural featured on the local landmark was defaced.
Artist Smear Leader covered the face of Bill Cosby with a picture of Kim Jong Un, leader of North Korea, and posted it to Instagram.
