It's not uncommon for Sean "Diddy" Combs to use his platform to help motivate the masses. We've watched as he's shared inspirational videos to his social media pages and encouraged young people to get more actively involved in the political arena. He's been vocal about the Rock the Vote and Vote or Die movements for years, and although we're in the midst of a global pandemic, this is still an election year for the United States.
The media mogul recently posted a video of himself sharing the screen with his good friend Naomi Campbell. In the clip, Diddy tells Black Americans not to automatically vote for Democratic candidate Joe Biden just because of his party affiliation. He also told viewers not to vote because they're afraid of sitting President Donald Trump. "It's whoever is gonna take care of our community. Whoever wants to make a deal. It's business at this point," Diddy stated. He added that Biden needs to make his policies pertaining to "Black and Brown people" clear "or else he can't get the vote. I will hold the vote hostage if I have."
The responses to the Bad Boy icon's words were swift, and he even received criticism from Kenny Burns, his right-hand man and the Senior Vice President of Brand Development for Combs Enterprises. The video caused a heavy debate online, so check out a few responses below and weigh in with where you stand on this one.
Boosie BadAzz Speaks On Reparations: "Where Our F*cking Money At?"
Boosie BadAzz decided to be the good guy for once by making the longtime argument that Black people in America still deserve to receive reparations for slavery.
Rapper Boosie BadAzz can be considered the most hated man in America or the most agreed with depending on who you’re asking and, quite frankly, given what time of day it is. Thankfully (for now!), Boosie’s latest comments may see him getting widespread approval after he decided to remind everyone on Instagram that Black people still deserve reparations for the unsavory era of slavery in America.

In a longwinded post from a few days ago, the Bad Azz rapper wrote a three-page letter that was mainly aimed at the politicians of the world given the current election season. Excusing his grammar, he wrote on the first page, “I was just watching a show about Blacks n Black buizness n what they went through. Bra our people deserve money like the dam Indians get. We got completely murdered n fucked over by this nation. Every time we get successful they hung us. Do y’all know about Greenwood, Black Wall Street n how they did us. Bra I’m pissed. Where the fuck our money at. Our wealth n lives was taking from us for any n everything especially our buizness men n women.”
The second slide continued his expletive, poorly-written rant, which read, “Why havent none of our fucking presidents ask that Black people be compensated forever. Why has this never been a issue at any presidential rally etc. Have we forgot? Do leaders feel we deserved it? Millions of Blacklives taken n “Black Wealth” just stripped which have affected us till this day financially n emotionally. I hate u bitches who did that 2 us. I wish death 2 all of you. Blacks in this country still got no fucking respect r love n thats real.”
He ended things off by writing on the third page, “Where our fucking money at bitches? Democrats, Republicans, presidents etc. Do u give a fuck what we been through? Political Blacks who r n power, why havent yo ass spoke up about our race being compensated. I guess yall dont give a fuck cause yall str8 now. Where our fucking money at?”
Read the original post by Boosie BadAzz below if you can get past the grammar, and let us know if you think the controversial emcee is speaking facts down in the comment section:
Tory Lanez Offers Thought-Provoking Take On Donald Trump & Iran War
Tory Lanez thinks Trump's airstrike was conducted with the 2020 election in mind.
Tory Lanez might not be affected by the current threat of war looming between the United States and Iran because of his Canadian nationality but the superstar still decided to voice his opinion on the frightful situation. With all the WWIII memes being shared across TikTok, Twitter, and other social media platforms, Lanez offered his take on why President Donald Trump chose to attack his rivals with a drone airstrike, killing general Qasem Soleimani. In the artist's eyes, it all has to do with the threat of being booted from the White House in the upcoming election.
After Donald Trump became the third President to ever be impeached, Tory Lanez believes that he may have stooped this low to heighten his chances of re-election in the fall. He noted that he would be keeping his nose out of this drama, but that came after he let off a potential conspiracy theory.
"So basically America bout to go into war becuz it’s re-election time... and the chances of switching a president while a war is going on are slim," wrote the rapper on Twitter. "Just saying ... who the fuck am I ... but seems about right to me ... however I’m Canadian so ima stay outta this."
The Chixtape 5 singer doesn't seem too offbase. This would be the wildest thing Trump has done as President and, let's be honest, would anybody be surprised if this was actually the case?
