Ninja please! He order hits on people and sold drugs even after making it. He is a danger to the public and deserves to be in jail for a minimum of 30 years

@marmac7619 7 ай бұрын

Frankly, i think this will set a dangerous precedent. I mean, unless the lyrics literally state: the who, when, where, how, & maybe even the why? then there's just so much conjecture. This could also seriously restrain artistic creativity in Musicians' song writing lyrics. And what about Book Writers - fiction OR non?

If they use his lyrics against him, then every rapper is in trouble. Except the white record executive😅

@deelewis8061 7 ай бұрын

This has nothing to do with being an artist. If you commit a crime. Don’t rap that crime on a record. The lyrics are a minimum. He ordered people to be killed and had people killed. He deserves where he is.

They are going after the pretenders. Entertainers like Denzil are the real deal. Gangsters will not be allowed to hide behind "RAP music" for much longer.

You can be an artist all you want but their starts to come a time when we're crossing the line that last comedian with her head job on her head got up in the front of a whole audience and said f Jesus you know we're getting a little bit tired of this lackadaisical freedom of speech no we don't want to contain but we might want to use a little bit of discretion so I say why are big dirty mouths making music so important to protect absolutely ridiculous if nobody gets in trouble we're so sick of this

They will not go after the record label. Because the people that own the record label looks just like them, so it's easier for them to accuse. Someone who the record label is paying and promoting this music, Lol @ Hypocrite judicial system.

The label looks like who? The system in Fulton is mostly all black under this umbrella buddy so try another argument there. This case is BS and Fani is the one going down. They're not going after the label because it's not about the label this is personal between the ppl of Atlanta.
