Ridiculous

Ridiculous.

Perhaps he was black he would be overlooked. Time for black people to speak out, to remove the N word from rap music. Too many people are getting carried way singing these lyrics.

Poor kid…

If the n word should not be used than it needs to be banned from music rap ect. I hope that any person on scholarship regardless of race would be treat the same.

But if he was black and used that word, same consequence?

It's art ffs
