Roc Nation’s Vic Mensa allowed his clothing to make more than a fashion statement at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards.
Mensa donned gear reflecting police brutality and political prisoner Assata Shakur at the awards show Sunday (August 30).
“She’s still the FBI’s Most Wanted Woman in 2014 after being locked up as a political prisoner in 1977,” Vic explained to MTV News. “That’s ridiculous to me.” Assata is an African-American activist and member of the former Black Panther Party who was the subject of a multistate manhunt and was convicted of first-degree murder in the ’70s.

Mensa’s gear also donned terms and expressions like “ANTI-POLICE.”
Earlier this month, Vic wore attire which featured the names of women that had died in police custody.
