GetAtMe

The WeekNd made a statement.  He along with the rapper Belly cancelled performing on The Jimmy Kimmel show because Donald Trump was appearing.  The artist made the statement the he couldn’t be involved with with a situation that also involves Donald Trump due to his racist rants.  A man has to stand for something.

In this day of “I gotta get my bread mentality”, The WeekNd has put himself in the line of fire of the public relations monster that the Republicans fund (fortunately for him, they don’t like Trump either.  How long this shotgun wedding between the Republicans and Trump lasts is definitely on the clock.  “Do we hate Trump more than we hate Hillary” The Republicans mused “That’s the question” …).  The WeekNd has made a bold statement.  Why, because unlike other performers The WeekNd is on top and right in the middle of his “15 minute of fame” (dead in the middle) and it’s unusual for Pop artist who are this big to risk those “15 minutes” (especially over principle.  I’m really impressed…).  This could be a make or break decision or this decision could just cycle through the trending day to day topics, but the real question is, will Donald Trump get in the mud with Hip Hop and be condescending to young voters in the middle (many who are white, intelligent, female and hiphop fans.  Did I mention that many of these females are The WeekNd’s core fans and love him to death?  Does Donald Trump really want to battle with the Kim Kardashians and trust fund cuties that are The WeekNd loyal (these girls are not the Meghan Kelly’s on Fox and Donald, for real, they will murder you in Tumblr…)?  Will Trump risk reengaging the silent youthful majority that really delivered Barack Obama ( along with Oprah delivering the soccer moms, moms and daughters from middle America are a powerful movement.  Go ask any dad that’s  been marginalized in that house. Go ahead Donald open that huge mouth and tell them how they need to think, “I’ll get the popcorn”).  The bottomline, The WeekNd has showed an amazing amount of character (“if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything “) and his people (who eat off of him) an amazing amount of faith in this young man decision.  Like I said, I’m impressed.   Well Donald it’s your move, I have my popcorn.
