Hold Drake to account until he removes that bar from the record. He can change the digital release. Look how quickly Beyonce changed the sample with the Kelis dispute. So it can be done.
Shall we talk about Black female vocalists on House music tracks used for authenticity but never making the visuals for the marketed video or worse yet credited as the featuring act?! 🤷🏾♂️
You can’t reprimand a cat this size loool but also how do so many people have these rescued animals as domestic pets? Is there a funding issue with sanctuaries?
Upholding the law, treating people decently, care for the most vulnerable? We know these are not the values of this government. But they are the values of the people of this country.
European court at odds with British values, says Suella Braverman
Piers Morgan has hounded Meghan for years. If he wasn’t a broadcaster, a man with this level of obsessive behaviour towards a woman he doesn’t know and has done nothing wrong is beyond creepy. I think it’s time the editorial at
@GMB
start seeing this for what it is.
Black women getting disrespected on wax and there’s crickets….and you wonder why the culture is a laughing stock?!
You think Kanye is the hill to die to on?!
Jesus Christ!!
It’s mad because the way they’re all looking at him like he was delusional.... fathers back your kids like this and they will never need the validation of “fans” 👏🏾❤️
This needs to be covered

@Channel4News
let’s show those
@lbc
callers and faceless trolls the true face of this country and if it wants to redeem itself it can start by getting justice for this young man. To say I’m livid is an understatement.
This needs to be looked into immediately

find this young mans attackers and send a strong message that anti-black sentiments will never be tolerated in this country 😔💔 thank you for bringing it my attention

Editorial control is so important because it’s not that Jeremy Clarkson said what he said it’s that an editor signed off on it to be published to millions. You can’t publish any bile. Just REALLY specific misogynistic bile.
Been in a bit of funk recently but it hasn’t slipped my awareness that the
@metpoliceuk
used their resources to fund a record shop which preyed on the unsuspecting Black men that would frequent it. The hypocrisy being that I work in an electronic music space which consistently…
Black boys being perceived as threatening even in non-verbal situations is the sort of things Black boys & girls have had to deal with through much of education. A Black kid’s assertiveness is deemed as “attitude”. Mizzy was of course supposed to look at his feet apologetically🙃
Everyone found their voice to point out cancel culture and the inability to speak blah blah blah.
Yet this young girl has been essentially BULLIED and what are we saying?!…it’s an occupational hazard?
A protester carries an injured counter-protester to safety during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in London. More photos as far-right and anti-racism protesters scuffle: 📷 Dylan Martinez
Stormzy is incredibly brave to say things which lots of black artists before him could have spoken out on but the reality is that they prefer it not disturb their ability to be commercially viable. Well now he’s done the hard part. All acts of note just stand with him now.
You fear what your male friends might say. Clearly not your girlfriend. Your wife. Your sister. Your mother. Your daughter.
We know they don’t factor into the equation.
In fact you have no women who are your FRIENDS. Which is why you don’t consider their feelings.
Face the reality men in the music industry. That the cowardice that occupies you is not defined by your ability to challenge institutions of power. It’s the fact you let every principle leave you in the pursuit of cash money.
That’s what makes you a coward.
This needs to be looked into immediately

Akala has clocked articulation!!
The ability to translate and communicate to people who hold different ideologies and perspectives is an extremely difficult feat. Once you engage in rational debate you level the playing field because the weapon of choice is facts and statistics.
Did you know that A Guy Called Gerald has not made ANY money from Voodoo Ray?.... just think about that for a moment. The most troubling aspects of music are tied to these contractual situations which everyone shrugs their shoulders at.
So there was a global call and vote organised by the
@UN
for an end to racism and xenophobia....
106 countries voted “YES”
14 voted “NO”
44 abstained
amongst those that voted “NO” - USA, UK, AUSTRALIA, GERMANY, CANADA, ISRAEL, FRANCE, NETHERLANDS
Started following this TikTok where this young Black man who’s an aspiring architect goes around London breaking down the history and beauty of its social housing estates.

Gratuitous opulence has no limits does it?
"Influencer" culture needs to end ASAP.
This post has gone viral for the fact some people can’t comprehend a solid parenting structure can produce a kid like this…. had all the suggestions from media training (which all players get) to private schooling. Yet Jude was talking this confident at the last World Cup.
FFS!! Why can’t they make bread for single people? How can you buy something and by the time you leave the supermarket it’s already gone off 😐
I’m buying the smallest loaf possible. How many sandwiches you want me to make in a week? 😩
To manipulate young kids into believing where they was was a safe space to actualise their dreams in music is absolutely disgusting.
It wasn’t just a record shop it was a recording studio also.
❤️🙏🏾 I’m very sorry Lyn Rigby has even had to get brought into all of this but I’m grateful she was able to use her own moment of grieving and send a message that her son is NOT the poster boy for hate and racism.
Just listening to

and he had a caller who said “Slavery was abhorrent BUT...” these times James said “don’t say BUT..” he then continues “...it made the country a lot of MONEY!!” 😳

How hypocritical of

as a network to take the moral high ground with shows like Jeremy Kyle and it being linked to serious implications around the abuse of its guests via the media. Then allow

Carte Blanche to antagonise Meghan every year...
Whatever internalised trauma you’ve gone through are going through it doesn’t change the simple fact that you either have zero principles or you can’t stand on them in the clear light if day which means you’re not fit to lead anything.
You’re a follower.
Men work in the music industry will support Kanye standing alongside Marilyn Manson and DaBaby and then shout “protect women!” that’s why you gotta do the deep dive and see what advocacy these men really doing. Otherwise those
#MeToo
tweets is just brand image management 🤷🏾♂️
The comment section is an absolute mess and confirms what I’ve always been saying regarding the level of comfort afforded to Black people in the workplace. We’re playing a different game sadly. Visible tattoos have become more socially acceptable than Afro hairstyles in my time.
Jurelle Jules applied for a job at The Ritz and was shocked to learn he was banned from wearing an Afro hairstyle.
The worker said he was 'shocked and disappointed' after he learnt that 'unusual hairstyles' such as 'spiky hair, afro style' were not allowed.
Unpopular opinion: but the little girl on C2C train with the potty mouth is exactly the bravery you need to speak truth to power. I hope she finds a mentor that can harness that fire in her belly for progressive reasons 💪🏾❤️

This brand of journalism that exists in this country that we all watched Diana be subjected to is being played out again before us. So at what point does it become too much?

Agreed Nihal. I stand in solidarity with my Jewish brothers & sisters. I’ll match you and ask how many DJs, managers, and music industry professionals expressed their disgust that their hasn’t been any investigation into allegations of SEXUAL abuse of Black women by

How many non Jewish people in the music industry, artists, DJs, managers have publicly expressed their disgust at Wiley's anti semitism? Silence is complicity we were told in relation to anti racism. No double standards I hope when it comes to anti semitism?

I’m here to use my data to remind you lot that you need to face that fear and grow up. You know how to ask you’re power for more money. But you don’t know how to ask for better working conditions for Black women.
You can use your voice for yourself but not for others.
Women in the music industry are battling with more problems than just equity! In many cases their safety is at risk every time they work in our environment. I went on record for a new documentary “Music’s Dirty Secrets : Women Fight Back” on
@bbcthree
to challenge these “norms”
Black people literally invented House music ....like literally!! Unbelievable how many people of all different races don’t know that but it’s completely understandable also....It wasn’t even called “Black music” until last year.
