Smart like Mensa
Weekly Buzz
Vic Mensa took his opportunity to speak while receiving his award for Best New Artist at the BET HIp-Hop Awards to speak about holding artists accountable for their actions. Specifically he was talking about the late XXXTentacion, who had brutally beaten his pregnant girlfriend, and was still widely embraced in the rap community. Mensa said “ I vehemently reject the trend in hip-hop ofL championing abusers, and I will not hold my tongue about it…. I don’t give a fuck about getting attention I care about bringing awareness and holding people accountable for their actions”. Speaking of hip-hop championing abusers, Drake brought out Chris Brown for a recent show in LA, so it is good everyone is on the same page.
