Slavery is still a very real thing in Libya.
Arab slave auctioneers were secretly taped selling bodies for as little as $400 to become farm laborers in a recent report by CNN. News has spread and inspired many to call for an end to the horrific practice. Hip Hop stars such as Nas, T.I., Diddy and Cardi B have recently spoken out about the situation.
The Libya slave trade is nothing new, however. It’s been going on for awhile, especially since former Libyan Muammar Gadaffi was captured and killed in 2011. His death has been seen as a destabilizing moment in the country, a point which T.I. brought up in a tweet.
Nas dedicated a few Instagram posts to bring awareness to what’s going in Libya and even tagged President Donald Trump in one.
Cardi B had a lot to say about what’s going on as well, calling out the United Nations during an Instagram Live session.
“The United Nations never mind they fuckin’ business,” she said. “They always in someone business or bullshit, all the time. I don’t understand why they not making it their problem or priority, to help what’s going on in Libya.”
She opined that the U.N. hasn’t acted out of pure convenience.

Diddy, Common, Pharrell, Azealia Banks and Fat Joe are just a few of the other Hip Hop artists who have addressed the grim situation in Libya.

If you want to help, try supporting the International Organization for Migration or donate to a cause like Free The Slaves. Feel free to also contact U.S. Ambassador to the U.N Nikki Haley to help put an end to slavery now.
Anyone who wasn’t aware that slavery still exists in Africa is beyond clueless. This just goes to show you how out of touch these celebrities aka fake social justice warriors are. People get mad when Americans say “but slavery was 200 years ago”. Yes.. They say that because they know America & many others have move BEYOND that. However, some countries still participate in it, and very little is said. You actually have morons who curse America, like they would actually be better off anywhere in Africa.. Sad. Glad people’s eyes are opening to this..
What has calling out America for its racist and oppressive behaviour got to do with what’s happening in Libya. If anything, America was built on slavery. But of course I wouldn’t expect you as a white person or just simply a moron to understand the difference
Very simply.. Name me a country that wasn’t built on or still thriving from racism or oppression.. I’ll wait, but you’ll die before you find an answer….
Actual factual isnt calling out america. But instead calling out people who cry about injustice in america when people in other countries STILL enfore slavory. I want to see the upper class use that money to help instead of buying 6 bedroom houses for 2 people or buying $1000 tee shirts. Sadly this wont be news in 2 weeks when the kardashians start having babies
“America was built on slavery” – America was created at a time when slavery was prevalent throughout the world.
Wanna know what Riri and her Arab Boyfriend thinks about it. Shame though that sh*t like this still exist
Bet yall miss me now.
Nope. If he showed his face in Libya today, he would get that same dagger up his butthole. Everyone wanted him dead.
Really? Then how come millions of Libyans were protesting the NATO bombings in Tripoli?
If anything, there weren’t millions and however many there were they were loyalists and they were marginalized. You clearly don’t know much of the topic because there was virtually no support for Gaddafi during Libya’s Arab spring movement. In fact, he was so brutal, countries were lining up to participate in the bombing coalition. In hindsight, al queda did highjack the Arab spring there and created a shit storm in the aftermath. Local tribes aligned with militias, etc, we know how the story ends. Do your research.

Funny how always people jumping on white people when some racist sh*t happens here but nobody seems to blame the arabs for this who still have black slaves. SMFH
And the Arabs aren’t the only ones with slaves in Africa either.. But ppl only wanna believe what’s comfortable for them.
Somehow they gonna blame white people for this
The people to blame are the politicans who because of special interests big business and lobbyists decided that they would remove Gaddafi . Good work …Obama,David Cameron,Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy . But of course you don’t need an excuse to make it about race .
This Meme is ridiculious. They actually blaming Europeans and Americans for not being supportive enough even though this just got exposed but not one bad word about the arabs who actually enslaving their people. Seriously???
Idiot, it was western governments I.E (America, France,UK) who decided to remove Khadaffi with no plan in place for what happens when he’s gone. These are the people who bombed and then armed the terrorists and gangsters to remove Khadaffi . The west is always intervening in the middle east and the outcome is always the same . More refugees and chaos which always leads to more sick and evil terrorists .
It’s not the first time is it ? Afghanistan,Iraq, Libya etc etc .
Oh sh*t you actually blame them. LMFAO. The Arabs enslaving your people but lets blame the white men for it. LOL
You really aren’t that bright are you ? The western governments are the ones who wanted Khadaffi removed . Nicolas Sarkozy who at the time was the French president was the “leading voice” in regards to removing Khadaffi . Once they had removed him by bombing and then arming (Islamic factions) the chaos begun . So again idiot this was not happening in Libya before the overthrow of Khadaffi that was financed/backed by western governments including the US that had at the time a (mixed race) half black half white president “Obama”… .So answer me this idiot!!!! how am I making this about race ?
You all forget that Gaddafi was a brutal dictator. He bombed protesters with JETS. Strafed innocents with 50 cal machine guns and dropped bombs. The whole country of Libya wanted him dead. You can’t pick and chose which piece of history fits your narrative. The people of libya, once liberated, couldn’t get their shit together. What, you wanted the US and France to stay as occupiers like in Iraq and police the people? You all are damn fools. Point blank, the world is really screwed up, and you only see this type of chaos in Middle Eastern and African countries. Congo, Sudan, Syria, Libya, you name it. It boils down to CULTURE!
Is it me or do I get the feeling that this is some kind of virtual singling…..
All those celebs should pay for mercenaries to go freee slaves. Lets see if they care enough to cough up half their money. Diddy couls do it himself if he wanted to
Meanwhile French Montana and DJ Khaled stay quiet…
Use your favorite search engine and type in “dj khaled free palestine”
Thanks for that ….
i wish Obama was still president,who cud have done something!!!!!
Yeah, like bomb Libya again? Gaddafis Libya was like the wall between europe and Africa, after that wall was bombed it enabled the so called refugee crisis and genocide of white europe. Thanks Obama!
Now the important question would be: “How we gonna blame this on whitey?”
Yep their you go again with the same old tired race baiting . Day after day , comment after comment . Get a life buddy your getting old bitter and tired !!!
French president Macron has already announced he wants boots on the ground of Libya. So the west (being used by the zionist financial elite) will soon send NATO troops to occupy.. oops i meant intervene and put and end to slavery. France was also involved in toppling Gaddafi in Libya, so its like déjà vu. See how this all connects? Once again it becomes clear how the same force that is behind wars, revolutions and endless suffering is the very same force that controls the entertainment industry. These Fat Joes etc are used as puppets, manufactured outcry until we the people are practically on our knees begging for military occupation of Libya. Hilarious how easy it is for them to manipulate the masses to support their perpetual war agenda.
Decent post but some what misguided . It’s blindingly obvious that the organisations/industry’s that really benefit from the perpetual wars in the middle east are the weapons and oil conglomerates . Not sure how the entertainment industry with Fat Joe or any other hiphop/R&B artist on their roster monetizes/ benefits from overseas occupations/interventions . I’m all ears if you can show me how they how do ?
Entertainment industry utilizes celebrities to push the agenda of those in control. Just like the media, which has a detrimental role in this. Oh and who benefits from weapon sales? You could just google “all wars are bankers wars”. You seem like a zionist gatekeeper, remind me of Alex Jonestein. Next youre going to say musIims own the banks, media and hollywood 😀
No it’s not nuff said . In fact you’ve not answered the question . You’ve just started ranting like you always do ..jevvvs etc .
Take your tin foil hat off and stop regurgitating the same shit over and over again . Again how does Fat Joe or the rap industry like you claimed gain monetry wise from the overthrow . Next youre going to say musIims own the banks, media and hollywood…… No numb nut’s they own the Oil . Funny how you don’t acknowledge that the real beneficiaries with $$$ to make are the weapons and oil conglomerates . Of course that doesn’t suit your narrative 🙂
Europeans occupying North Africa is what previously ended slavery in the 1800s.
Like the article said, this shit is nothing new. Social media “opening eyes” now.
Whole world knows that because of your fucking Obama, millions of People died in Libya, Khadafi was killed like a shit. Fuck Obama, fuck his bitch ass. And you, rappers? Why were you singin My president is black, and chillin with that muthafucka Obama, saying Black lives matter, when it don’t matter you, you only try to effect record sales
Not to burst your (ethnic hate) bubble Tonto. But “Google” Obama’s biggest regret . And I just read the comments below and on other sites about Libya and it’s clear it wasn’t only the United States that caused this mess .
That video of Cardi B was the grossest thing i have seen in a while… such a poor attempt to seem socially conscious but you can tell she has no idea what she is talking about… some how she makes it into the headline with Nas, TI and Common who are all very socially conscious…
So… are any of these rappers going to pop off on Obama and Hillary since overthrowing the regime in Libya was their doing? Or is this just going to be Trump’s fault too?
Don’t forget to Free Meek! Stand behind King Hov wants and forget that broke ass, Grammy less loser Nas.
I dont get it. I always wondered how the Arabs doing this. They invading Europe and no one cares and now they literally put black people in chains and not one single bad word against them on a Website of Black Culture that constantly talks about slavery. They rather blame White people for taking out Gaddafi, not mentioning Obama bombing Libya and seem to have no problem with the Arabs who enslave their people. WTF is going on?
Bullseye! You said it brother. Islam gets a pass every time. When will people understand that that part of the world is ass-backwards and unfortunately the US can’t solve every problem. We aren’t the police of the world so this problem needs to be solved collectively by all nations.
Holy shit these dumb fucks just figuring this out? The sub saharan region is home only 2nd to india in how much modern slavery it has man these celebs are seriously fucking stupid…
Lets see, there have been over 6,000 human/sex trafficking arrests made during Trump’s first year as president. And then we have 4,000 human/sex trafficking arrests made under Obama’s entire 8 year presidency. Trump vowed to protect the most vulnerable and those are the people being bought/sold/born into modern slavery. So now the rappers care about human rights; how do we protect those vulnerable? Curbing illegal immigration, reforming our legal immigration policies and yes a travel ban from seven muslim countries which currently do not have proper passport systems and do not cooperate with the vetting procedure to ensure undocumented criminals do not enter the United States. You cry when the president wont let a flood of undocumented “refugees”
from muslim countries that still practice slavery enter this country, but you want the president to police other countries when you see the word “slavery” pop in the headlines now.
They only care cause its black mens faces shown in these photos and videos… you show the pictures of Indian and Asian women and children in being sold into sex slavery and they don’t care…, they don’t care when there are videos being shown of muslim refugees raping women in sweden, muslim men throwing homosexuals off of buildings, muslim men drowning women, children, and homosexuals in cages…
Sadly, no one will call out the Arabs because doing so would somehow show that they’re aligned with Trump on certain issues. Can’t have that now can we. Lol
these dumb fucks whined and went on and on about a muslim ban and how trump a racist. maybe now you can see why we don’t want these kinda people coming into the country without knowing who a criminal or anything about them. this shit been going on for decades, it aint just libya, obama knew about this shit he just didnt care, just keep doppin them bombs…wake the fuck up
You act like Christians haven’t and aren’t doing the same ?? The last THREE MAJOR TERROIST ATTACKS ON US SOIL WHERE CHRISTIAN AMERICANS …smh you need to wake up . We have some of the most dangerous “terrorist “ already here. Your logic MAKES NO SENSE
Is this article a joke? Many of these people who have responded who are rappers or whatever who kept quiet during the obama administration as far as criticism and blame when international “race” related issues were not reported by the mainstream media. The slave trade has been alive and well in muslim countries such as Libya for decades and listeners of conservative media often referred to as “racist, alt-right” have been reporting on this for years and have tried to bring awareness to Americans that don’t believe every word of the mainstream lies. Yes, slavery is horrible (and in this case race has not much to do with it), yet the people that call trump racist and conservative media racist. Trump addressed and disdained the issue of MODERN slavery in his campaign, but there are people who can’t let go of the past (of which most are white american who have never experienced true racism or slavery, with some hypocritical black people and celebrities mixed in). Sadly I am a white hiphop fan who grew up in the 90s listening to quality music. I have never heard of most of these people hiphopdx has dubbed as “artists” or rappers. I still like nas’ music (especially before 2008) and i might still if he puts out a decent album in the future, as he has not been virtue signaler convicted criminal who can’t keep his hypocritical mouth/twitter account quiet. Let this be known to all the people who cry racism while in America: Shit was bad for white people under middle eastern rule which became islam, shit was bad for asians under especially the chinese under chairman mao, shit was bad for the africans when americans and europeans considered and took blacks as slaves. This is today, the here, the now, how you gonna keep insisting donald trump is a racist and should do something about the slave trade in libya. You people called him a racist when he wanted to ban undocumented, unverified, non-citizens coming from countries like libya (which still honor the slave trade) from coming into our country… and most likely will take advantage of our welfare system and programs designed to help the citizens of the United States of America…. yet all these liberal and democratic minorities who receive benefits reserved for citizens will cry racism when Trump tries to protect their assistance and the economy of this country by stopping people who are not eligible/citizens/deserving of the United State’s government assistance from entering this country… Yet millions of illegal immigrants are on the United State’s government assistance program, send tax dollars of hard working Americans abroad, mostly to their families still living in whatever country they come from or even worse to radical terrorist groups. All of which do not help America and the Americans who are need of this government assistance. This is just one of many reasons why Trump is trying to enact policies that better America rather than lets say, Mexico or Libya. It is confounding that the minorities who are against trump (those who receive government aid) do not want their assistance to be protected and go to the people who are citizens of this country…
You sound dumb … I’m gonna keep it simple . RICH PEOPLE AND CROOKED POLITICIANS CAUSE US “HARD WORKING AMERICANS” WAY MORE TAX DOLLARS THAN ANY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM OR FORIEGN AIDE . you are blind to the real problem and have let the elite pull the bait and switch on you . POOR PEOPLE ARE AND WERE NEVER A PROBLEM . History shows that 99% of the worlds problems come from rich greedy heartless selfish people . Do your research and stop listening to the talking heads .. TRUMP DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU . And he has shown that. I don’t understand why the average joe still thinks trump gives a shot about them or has your best interest at heart . READ HIS NEW TAX PLAN and you will see . WHERE ARE HIS TAX RETURNS THAT HE SAID HE WOULD RELEASE BY THE WAY??
Braking Real News: Supreme Court Alows Full Enforcement of Trump Travel Ban. And just right after trump tweeted the graphic videos of the practices of islamic extremists. So the feminists, black lives matter, and social justice warriors can now understand that the liberal fight for mass immigration is a fight to promote oppression. These are not tolerant people…the oppression, aggresstion, violence, and murder committed by the islamic extremists stands against everything the liberal and democratic should be against. So the president doesn’t want these oppressive hate filled people possibly entering the country, yet you call him a facist, racist, misogynist, xenophobe,….
