Azalea Banks — always one to jump into the most controversial topics — chimed in. The rapper took to Instagram in support of Lil Nas X and denounced the rampant homophobia plaguing the rap industry.
Banks wrote, “No really the violent rhetoric surrounding Lil Nax X is very very concerning. And it’s not cool. It doesn’t show progress. It doesn’t make you look tough or smart and completely contradicts hip hop’s cry for unity, solidarity, and social justice reform.”
