The sex-trafficking investigation involving Sean 'Diddy' Combs may be today's headlines, but misogyny in hip-hop is old news — a reality I know all too well.
I knew little about the music industry before becoming editor in chief of Honey, a young magazine for urban women, right after the somewhat anticlimactic shift from the 20th to the 21st century. Within a week of offering me the job, my new boss invited me to Sean 'Diddy' Combs' notorious White Party in the Hamptons. It seemed as if every major urban entertainment heavy hitter were milling around the conspicuously luxurious modern house and vast grounds.
I heeded Andre’s advice while watching women without benefit of his sagacity make one too many missteps with the wrong baller and get treated much, much worse. The world I entered when I became editor in chief of Honey was a heady mix of intoxicating and dangerous. Hip-hop music generated money and power — and a social scene filled with bottomless excess and debauchery.
