Azalea Banks Makes Hip-Hop Re-think Social Justice
Boosie took to Twitter to respond to Lil Nas X’s playful trolling with a virulent attack, calling Lil Nas X homophobic slurs and suggesting that the Montero rapper #commitsuicide because “nobody wants you here.”
The tweet violated Twitter’s rules and policies and was immediately deleted. The tweet caused a huge uproar on social media. Many came to Lil Nas X’s defense, stating the tweet was egregious and disgusting.
Azalea Banks — always one to jump into the most controversial topics — chimed in. The rapper took to Instagram in support of Lil Nas X and denounced the rampant homophobia plaguing the rap industry.
Banks wrote, “No really the violent rhetoric surrounding Lil Nax X is very very concerning. And it’s not cool. It doesn’t show progress. It doesn’t make you look tough or smart and completely contradicts hip hop’s cry for unity, solidarity, and social justice reform.”
