He engaged in whataboutism instead of taking accountability.
Last night (Tuesday), he tweeted, “I tell fans to put a cellphone light in the air y’all start a million man march… I told you y’all digested that wrong, but I ain’t gone lie, I’m impressed… Now show this same amount of support when racist cop kills one of our Black ass… YA NOT.”
He followed that up by engaging in some whataboutism, tweeting, “Anybody who done ever been effected by AIDS/HIV y’all got the right to be upset, what I said was insensitive even though I have no intentions on offending anybody. So my apologies… But the LBGT community… I ain’t trippin on y’all, do you. Y’all business is y’all business.. and for any brands, networks, or artists that like to profit off to Black rappers influence on the culture. Keep yo money next time... Other than that y’all cheer up & be proud of who you are cuz you can’t make me feel less of myself.”
