When it comes to social media sites like twitter and facebook, one thing twitter has done is removed “PR” out of the formula. When artist have something to say they have the freedom to tweet it now. Despite advice from the PR team to not respond to the issue, Wale has responded to the homophobic comments from people that have hit him up on twitter and articles such as the Metro Weekly article and probably ours too. Below is what Wale had to say about the situation:
How do people read publications and run with WHATEVER is said.jus because its said/written. I don’t get it. The passion behind the hatred.over Misinformed info breaks my heart, but also shows me the malice of “fans”. Iowa, remember when I cancelled that show? Cuz of Letterman and transportation..Hofstra remember when that show was cancelled. Some ppl love a “story”.. Sooo bad that they’ll turn people against u..its sad, so u get ur story , in turn, u turn ppl against me? I was told NOT to respond, but that wouldn’t be me..anybody who knows me an familar w/ my music know that I work for PEOPLE..all ppl. And the people who deliver propaganda never heard the music yall know..they write it to ignite anger, cuz ur anger generates revenue. So with this said, HipHop music is for everybody..I love all the supporters, and real know real.
Wale even responded to a few fan fans about the situation via twitter. One follower (@DKUnlimited) tweeted to Wale, “Did or did your agent NOT e-mail DC Black Pride & tell them you canceled because you didn’t know it was gay? Set the record straight.” Wale responded, “No, that aint happen.”
So there you have it. Still leaves a lot of empty spaces between Wale comments and those of DC Black Pride but take his comments how you’d like… Maybe in the future Wale will set his self apart from the others and do a gay event in the future.
Lost? Keep Up with the story here... & then here…
he canceled cause it was gay… he aint fooling nobody (in my ghetto girl voice)
