YouTube star Jenna Marbles on Thursday announced that she is ending her channel after racially offensive videos resurfaced in the wake of the reignited Black Lives Matter movement.

Marbles, 33, is under fire for wearing blackface while impersonating Nicki Minaj in 2011, as well as for past racist remarks.
