“As rappers, we gotta stop perpetuating our own genocide,” Joey said. “How yall rappers call yourselves real, then turn around and tell these kids to kill each other. It’s time to take accountability,” he also added.
The 27-year-old rapper was referring to numerous rappers being shot and killed.
In loving memory of PnB Rock, Kodak Black paid the late rapper a tribute by performing their 2016 song “Too Many Years” before performing his songs.
The Florida rapper came under fire for his comments about PnB Rock’s girlfriend after his death for allegedly posting his location before being shot and killed.
