Sunken Kanye

The Kardashians are on a roll. However their story line today takes a little plot twist. It is Kanye West, that is put into the limelight. If you guys are familiar Kim Kardashian is married to rapper and beat maker Kanye West. There love story has always been an interesting one. However, people believe that it is Kanye’s love for Kim that keeps him from being woke. The internet had a field day when he posted an image of himself wearing a hat, supporting current President Trump (image posted below). It was already bad enough that he was seen on the Presidential candidate at the time campaign trail.

Some people claim that Kanye is having a mental crisis. However , his wife took to Twitter to address these allegations. Not only did she deny them but began to voice how Kanye is entitled to his own freedom of speech. I for one can agree with her. If I got upset for every bad thing someone said or told me about my blog, I wouldn’t still be writing. If Kanye himself haven’t come out and told us of his mental disabilities who are we to judge him.

Free Meek

Anyone who knows me know that Philly is home for me. As I am covering trending topics, I felt it was only right to discuss #freemeek. Rapper Meek Luther Mill was released out of police custody on April 25. This was so refreshing and I myself was one of the many fans who was screaming “Dreams and Nightmares” to the top of my lungs.

Meek Mill was sentence to two to five years, after violating his parole while riding dirt bikes in Times Square in New York City. Mill’s received this sentence from a charge of gun and drug case from over a decade. The reason I choose to write about this is because a twitter friend of mine had me re-evaluate my celebration. When she asked why we were celebrating his release and I simply replied ” For The Culture !”. I was baffled by her unbothered sigh. I was trying to think of other quick witty things to say as why I believe he should be but I truly couldn’t. Her look and sigh said it all and I knew what she was thinking. Her thoughts were absolutely right. Was I becoming simple minded as this man had purposely violated his parole and flamboyantly rode those bike through one of the busiest cities in America. Yes, he should have been more mindful and not choosing to blast this all over social media. But his actions made me realize one thing, our black men are still learning. They have so much catching up to do while trying “To Live Their Best Life”.
