It looks like Noname is tired of performing for white people, and is ready to quit the rap game because of it.
On Thursday night, Noname took to twitter to post a picture of a woman in clown makeup with the caption, “Me consistently creating content that is primarily consumed by a white audience who would rather shit on me than challenge their liberalism because some how liking Lizzos music absolves them of racist tendencies.”
On Friday, the Chicago rapper further explained her statements, doubling down by posting, in a recently deleted tweet, a picture of morgan freeman with clown makeup and saying, “My black fans in my mentions talkin bout ‘what your mean primarily white? We support the fuck outta u’ clearly proving they never been to a show.”
She continued to say, “Y’all really pushing the idea that black people can’t come to my shows because of black death and financial restraint ??? As if Dababy, Megan and Smino shows ain’t black as hell? Say you don’t like my shit and move around lol.”
She continued her statements into the next day by saying that she isn’t the only black artist that feels this way and refusing to change her art. She tweeted, “whats funny is most black artist are just as uncomfortable performing for majority white crowds but would never publicly say that out of fear and allegiance to [money] Which isnt a bad thing necessarily cause niggas gotta eat but yall wouldnt be up and arms if I quit workn @ McDonalds.”
when I go to work, thousands of white people scream the word nigga at me. and no I’m not changing my art so it is what it is. catch me @nonamebooks
