FEATURED India Arie: Janelle Monae and Meg The Stallion Doesn’t Represent Us Well

[AP2.5]

That's fine if she's doing that at her shows, it's not fine doing it at Essence. Y'all talking about everything else but what India was getting at

Which goes back to India having an issue with the way things are, nothing more. India is right, Essence has lost it's way and she's pointing it out

On another note

When I was young, I made a killing selling water outside of Essence

 

[Tayboo]

Not understanding that there is a time and place for everything is a reason why the culture is a mess

And I don't understand how a music festival or a concert is considered not a proper place to shake ass if a person chooses to do so.

But her critique wasn't aimed at Essence or their planning committee, it was aimed at Meg and Jenelle.

Just admit you're wrong, be better than your lil bro chicity

 

[Chi-Town B]

Yes Essence in hindsight were wrong to book them but Janelle should know better. Meg is just a lost cause
