As a woman who loves this sub and hip hop music, I really want to add my two-cents about the A$AP Bari situation.

I don't fuck with Gucci tbh so I can't tell you anything about him but I'm both a Kanye fan (check the user) and a woman, and he's proven himself again and again to be misogynistic. I still think he's brilliant and his music has changed my life in immense ways (I credit him with fixing a large part of my anxiety disorder) but I've given up on defending him.

I know his reverence for Donda (and to a degree Kim) paints the picture of a man who loves and respects women but I can pick out a few lines like without even having to think about it really.

His tweets regarding his former girlfriend Amber Rose and her child with Wiz Khalifa's as his property were disgusting and his comments on showering after fucking her plays into the purity myth that a woman is unclean after a man touches her but a man is not similarly tainted.

Taylor Swift is a snake and I come down very strongly against her victimisation act and playing into a racist narrative because she's an (White Conservative) American Princess but whether or not she approved it taking credit for her career and saying essentially she owed him sex for it is misogynistic. So is putting a model of her naked body in a bed with accused rapists without her consent, even if it is meant as art.

The Cosby innocent tweet, repeatedly creating this narrative painting his woman as good and other women as hoes, supporting Tyga's grooming of Kylie Jenner, this is all just within the past year, year and a half.

He's done many, many misogynistic things over the course of his career.

(And here's forewarning I'm going to delete this when I wake up in the morning for reasons)
