@SholaMos1 Shola you are wrong on this one. There is nothing racist about this statement. It is clear from his behaviour that his upbringing has failed him. This isn’t trivial.

@TamaraJanae @LowKeyUHTN The difference between JD and Diddy is Diddy didn’t actually make any BIGGIE beats or write the songs. Diddy was a top A&R. JD wrote the songs and made the beats. Top producer.

@Gunnersc0m Im an Arsenal fan and I find it funny that Gooners were so angry with our lack of silverware for all those years but think a player should be comfortable with no trophies? Insult Harry Kane for lack of trophies but think Fabregas shouldn’t return to his boyhood club to win?😂

That's because the guy with the high top is NOT doing or attempting to do a Jamaican accent. He's a Londoner with carribean heritage. Island born, London raised. Travels between both. It's really important that people take that in before getting trigger happy with the scrutiny.

On the Victoria Line, the distance between Finsbury Park and Seven Sisters feels long. Why? Manor House station had a tunnel built into it that would have placed it between Finsbury Park and Seven Sisters. The plan was abandoned due to unsuitable platform space.

The arts must put human well being above all else. As it stands this is not the case. Clout, money, power and fame rule. People are treated as more important due to success and are able to abuse those who are also seeking industry success on the basis that they are gatekeepers.

I’ve got another take on things: let’s have More stories portraying ‘black complexity’ because we are not so simple that you can split our tales into the two binary categories of ‘Joy’ and ‘Trauma’. I’m personally tired of this basic categorisation for black work.
