Stevie Wonder has just called to say that he defends Bruno Mars after he was accused of cultural appropriation.<br /><br /><br /><br />The 'Finesse' hitmaker's background came under scrutiny last week when a video of writer Seren Sensei, accusing the singer of appropriating black music, went viral.<br /><br /><br /><br />Wonder told TMZ that Bruno is inspired by great musicians and great artists and songwriters. So that's good.<br /><br /><br /><br />Bruno has collaborated with a number of African-American artists, and the 'That's What I Like' hitmaker was born in Honolulu to a half-Puerto Rican and half-Ashkenazi Jewish father and a Filipino mother.<br /><br /><br /><br />Bruno has so far chosen to stay out of the debate.<br /><br />
