Two messy ones today. π First β India Arie is cleaning up a whole situation around Yung Miami's viral hit "Spend Dat." After a fan called for a boycott of the song (saying its scammer/"boostin'" lyrics are degrading to the culture), India co-signed the sentiment about music's influence β "everything you consume influences you, make wise choices." But once people ran with it, she clarified: "I did NOT say anyone needs to boycott the song. I said it's a sign of where we are as a culture that it's been accepted so widely." We break down what she actually said, the backlash, and whether she has a point.
THEN β Lil Wayne is catching HEAT. Weezy no-showed the opening night of his "20 Years of Carter Classics" tour in Bangor, Maine β leaving fans who drove HOURS with no explanation β and then popped up the very next night at Michael Rubin's Fourth of July White Party in the Hamptons with DJ Khaled, Alicia Keys, and Jake Paul. He's apologized and rebooked the show, but fans are NOT letting this one slide. We get into the timeline and his history of no-shows.
So tell me π Is India Arie right about "Spend Dat," and was Lil Wayne dead wrong for that White Party move?
