In rap today, a lot of musicians are facing criminal charges and allegations of sexual misconduct. The worst part? No one cares. These artists are still releasing music and gaining a following.
Recently Tekashi 6ix9ine came on the scene with his hit, “Gummo.” Not only was it an average song, the guy looks straight up creepy.
Um, why does he have “69” tattooed on his face?

He was accused of sexual misconduct with a minor. Rapper ZillaKammi posted photos of him grabbing the breasts of a woman who is 13. Genius has confirmed that Hernandez (Tekashi 6ix9ine) pled guilty to the charges. He even referred to himself as a “happy rapist” in a Snapchat video?
Rapper Kodak Black is also facing sexual assault charges. None of the cases have been resolved but the fact that almost no one is even phased by it says a lot about society. When the sexual assault allegations in Hollywood happened the actors got blacklisted, but the same isn’t happening in the music industry. So many people are turning a blind eye to this and are openly not caring about victims of sexual assault. Atlantic Records has no plan to drop Kodak Black and XXX signed a multi-million dollar deal with Capitol Records.
So what does this say about the music industry? People are willing to still work with people who are accused of sexual misconduct and it’s truly disgusting. These rappers aren’t even that good and there are so many other people you can listen to. Nobody cares anymore about basic human decency. It seems like we are living in a different dimension where people are okay with rape. Have we turned into mindless zombies listening to whatever sounds halfway decent? Overall, you don’t have to listen to rapists- what’s wrong with you people?
