LaKeith Stanfield Considers “Gangsta Rap” To Blame For Takeoff’s Death

Shortly after news of Takeoff’s death, LaKeith Stanfield chimed in with his thoughts on the horrific tragedy. Stanfield stated if you support “gangsta rap,” you cannot also support black people.

He continues to explain that the toxicity associated with glorifying black serial killers has killed music and imagery while making people think it’s cool to hurt those that look like them. He also pointed out the abundance of work to do. Such includes restoring the hearts and minds, which “manipulation” destroyed.
