Social media has made the world smaller and with its cancel culture - often with good cause. But the Diddy sex trafficking and racketeering case has brought to the fore a matter that could see everyone’s favourite celebs linked to the scandal being cancelled, writes Gasant Abarder in a new #SliceofGasant column.
But the Diddy sex trafficking and racketeering case has brought to the fore a matter that could see everyone’s favourite celebs linked to the scandal being cancelled, writes Gasant Abarder in a new #SliceofGasant column.
Police found all manner of items, like the now-infamous bottles of baby oil for alleged sordid parties and accounts of what went down at the rapper’s so-called white parties that would make the devil blush. Everyone who is anyone in showbiz has rushed to distance themselves from the hip-hop mogul. Big names have been mentioned, including power couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Usher, Kevin Hart, Leo Di Caprio, Jennifer Lopez and even a pastor and Michael Jackson.
Hip-hop is my favourite genre because the best rappers can make real-life experiences an artwork. It’s social commentary with explicit lyrics, which adds to its authenticity. In other words, don’t play it in the car when you’re taking the kids to school. But when done properly, the music of our own Youngsta CPT, Dr Dre and Eminem is pure poetry..
Eminem never pretended to be a role model and neither should Diddy ever be regarded as such. But it will be interesting to see who the public cancels and who gets a free pass. It’s hard to imagine ‘Queen B’ Beyonce getting cancelled by her army of fans. Personally, I cancelled folks in the past when I was active on social media.
