Some big rappers are starting to rail against the very social media platforms that boosted their celebrity — a move that comes as Kanye West is flaming out on Instagram and Twitter.
“Drink Champs” has been teasing their Boosie Badazz episode for days, and the latest clip finds the Lousiana rapper clearly blaming IG for wrecking marriages and relationships.
Boosie says before social media, men and women had limited access to other people’s lifestyles and arrangements, but now they’re more tempted than ever to cheat … given the number of opportunities at their fingertips.
Not to be outdone, Freddie Gibbs tackled social media’s impact while on “The Breakfast Club,” and said he doesn’t believe in monogamy, so his polyamorous relationships are in good order.
On the other hand, he says social media culture makes people abandon their true character for clout. The Gary, Indiana-born rapper compares social media addiction to crack.
In fact, Freddie’s new album, “$$$” has a track called “CIA” — an acronym for “Crack, Instagram and AIDS” — and says he aimed to showcase detrimental things in the Black community with this record.
Freddie also rivals Boosie for the title of rapper with the most Instagram accounts being banned … so it’s understandable they’re calling for a changing of the guard.
Interesting that they’re dropping these warnings amid Kanye getting restricted on social media for posting anti-Semitic remarks … which included accusing Diddy of being controlled by Jewish people.
As we reported, LeBron James’ just axed an episode of “The Shop” he shot with Ye due to the rapper allegedly spewing “dangerous stereotypes”during their convo.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
No telling if he thinks he has a social media addiction or not … but in response to IG and Twitter putting the clamps on him, Ye’s revved up his Facebook account.
Can’t stop, won’t stop???
