has broken his silence on the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder by police, pointing out that most people speaking out about these injustices are only concerned with getting clout or “saving face.” After George Floyd was killed by police in Minneapolis last week, tons of celebrities have been using their platforms to spread awareness, information, and useful resources, where their followers can sign petitions and donate to causes aiding in the fight for justice.

Many of these celebrities have also been calling out their peers for their silence amid the protests that have broken out across the country seeking justice for Floyd and the end of police brutality. However, DaBaby, a real-life victim of police brutality, feels that a lot of the activist efforts going on are largely performative, and that most of these people speaking out do not understand the reality first-hand.

“I always sit back and let the hype blow over,” DaBaby tweeted on Sunday (May 31st), “before I give my insight so my perspective don’t get confused with all the ppl who only speak for likes & comments, or to save face, or maybe because their PR department, label, or management told em they should make a statement….”

“….in order to preserve their integrity & not lose fans, business, support from the black community, etc.,” he continued. “Ion gotta fake kick it & play sad. This Baby it’s been F*CK EM. & It’s gone be f*ck em. Im really what they consider a N*GGA I go through this shit daily…” 

“I’m a real life victim of racism & police brutality,” he declares. “95% of the people yapping on the net aint never been beat up by the police & charged w/ some sh*t they ain’t even do, I HAVE. Assault on an officer 2017, look it up. Wanna win OUT SMART em, beat em at their own game.”

“If n*ggas knew better they would know it ain’t just the police, it’s f*ck da LAW period,” he continued. “The whole system. Sh*t been corrupted, and a lot of us really victims of it, sh*t I got cases open RIGHT NOW. Stay focused w/ your fight, out smart em.”

“And before I go,” he concluded, “all you internet MFs who ain’t never even been in handcuffs before don’t talk to me, You don’t know nothing bout this sh*t, stay focused. Don’t let your intentions get watered down worrying about what ‘famous’ ppl doing with their influence. Y’all be safe.”
