“It's not only enabling potential predators but SENDING a clear and just messed up message to a lot of people. I'm not even tryna get you to cancel nobody but can we just sit down and have a conversation so that I can understand where it's okay to think violation or disregard of consent is cool or sexy or ... FAM, I DUNNO. I'm genuinely struggling to understand. And people may say, "TheN dOnT LiSteN tO ThEm." FAM, not with the possibility that I am a woman and all these women around us CAN BE FUCKING VICTIMS. No, ma'am” the rapper added.
