Rev. Al Sharpton recently shared his thoughts on the tragedy of Migos rapper Takeoff being murdered in Houston, and he stated that it has nothing to do with hip-hop.
Rev. Sharpton explained, “First of all, no one has been more on the gun violence and saying that we need to deal with things in hip-hop but I remember growing up, R&B artists used to into shootouts.” He then added that social media has amplified the knowledge of these types of things happening, and Sharpton went on to address people blaming hip-hop.Â
