Since the whole DC Black Pride/Wale turmoil and media fiasco started last week, rapper Wale has continued to defend his self and respond to fans and critics explaining that he is in no way, form, or fashion a homophobic and that his music is for all people. So in his latest tweet rant he explained, “I’m cancelling what I was supposed to be doin..to go …yeah ILL BE THERE!! I’m not scared nor do I have any hatred for ANYBODY.” We’ve reached out to DC Black Pride for comments on Wale’s latest claim; however, we did not get a response back yet. We’ll keep you posted!
In other news, 2009 Weblog Award Winner and LGBT writer and You Tube personality Xem Van Adams did a great Vlog on Homphobia in the Hip-Hop and music industry at large. Check out the video below.
Rather good insight into this ‘Wale-gate Scandal’. Here is my thing- I am still unsure how communication lines crossed and became confused during the whole scheduling of his performance so that he can now CLAIM to be fully unaware of his requested presence in D.C. this week.
Am I expected to believe that? This is the same man that is ever so vocal on Twitter and has several modes of communication that he uses to get the word out about who ‘Wale’ is. It never dawned on him to look at WHERE AND FOR WHOM he would be spitting his beats?
Now THAT’S some frag-a-naggle bull. Nuff said.
