Fivio Foreign believes rappers are targeted more than any other profession.
In a tweet Tuesday (November 17), the Brooklyn drill artist echoed a sentiment Jim Jones similarly expressed earlier this year that was met with controversy from an Iraq war vet at the time.
“Rapper are da most targeted people on planet earth,” Fivio wrote. “Target by police, by otha Rappers, by Media, By Civilians & everybody eles dat feel like we shuddnt have all da things we have.”
In February, Jones made the claim being a rapper is “more dangerous” than being a soldier, which sparked a back-and-forth with a solider who begged to differ. Jones maintained his stance, however, and doubled down on his sentiments after Benny The Butcher was shot in the leg outside of a Houston Walmart on Saturday (November 14) .
Jim Jones Angers Iraq War Vet For Saying Being A Rapper Is 'More Dangerous Than Being A Soldier'
“So y’all still don’t agree with wht I said,” Jones wrote on Instagram with a screenshot of an article about Benny. “Being a rapper is 1 of thee most dangerous jobs in the world. Get well soon bro stay safe stay dangerous.”
The Griselda rapper’s shooting came amid a string of violence in the rap community that took the lives of both King Von and Mo3 in the weeks prior. Just 24 hours earlier, Boosie Badazz was shot in the leg as well while in Dallas to pay tribute to Mo3.
Well maybe during the meetings of the “blame everyone else for our problems society” you should look across the table at your fellow hypocritical crybaby bruthas and tell each other to stop killing each other …. maybe you could even organize a march … or maybe some more rioting and violence would help … everyone has a choice no matter what hand they are dealt … you just decided that because you weren’t treated fairly or aren’t as rich as you think you deserve to be that you’d just destroy your community with crime and a lack of common human decency…. and you think you deserve respect???
i read what you said then immediately read the title. couldnt help but chuckle.lol
On the planet I don’t see rappers in Africa killing each other or generally musicians in afrobeat, oh well I guess Americans think the planet is The USA
1000% … PnL
Don’t think it’s being a rapper, it more of living in the hood. A lot of people rap and don’t get shot. Too many people (men, women, kids) get shot in the hood and they don’t even rap.
