Thousands of people descended on Washington D.C. for the March For Our Lives rally on Saturday (March 24), including Kanye West, Common and Vic Mensa.
Mensa and Common (along with Andra Day) performed at the event, while Ye was there with wife Kim Kardashian-West and their daughter North.
The movement was sparked by the recent Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, which claimed the lives of 17 people. It was one of the deadliest school massacres in modern history.
The event was organized by students and the nonprofit organization Everytown for Gun Safety. They are hoping this will lead to stricter gun control.
The D.C. function inspired cities around the country to host rallies of their own. From Los Angeles to New York City, countless people stood in solidarity.
Those who couldn’t attend the various events took their support to social media. From DJ Khaled to Snoop Dogg, the Hip Hop community represented.

kim you a ho kanye you a bitch
Die pls u hating sack of dogshit
This is how you make real progress!! I’m so excited for the future of our country!!!
By having celebrities who don’t know what they’re talking about speak on complex issues they know nothing about to college children who blindly follow what their social science professors tell them?
This march was a waste of time and effort that will accomplish nothing with a majority republican congress
Haha you sound scared. Blue Wave on the way!! And it was organized by high school kids. You know nothing about what you speak. Another scared republican clutching his guns lol
I voted Hillary you fucking idiot, haha you sound stupid.
“it was organized by high school kids” – No it wasn’t. It was organized by the same people behind the women’s march.
You always the life of the party or just online?
BE part two would be solid
God damn..I must say that I am SHOCKED that Kanye would show up to a thing like this, no matter what the cause of it was for. Not to mention Kim too. They seem way too self absorbed to go out in public for a rally/march….
how those wars on drugs and ‘terrorism’ workin out?
Ye hair look like a carpet stain
So these celebs do not have bodyguards with guns? It is ok when thhe guns are protecting their lives.
Did they represent with all the gun violence promoting lyrics they’ve been spewing for years. Now kids are acting out on their lyrics and all of a sudden it’s someone else’s fault
First, you’re an idiot. If you are a hip hop head, you’d know the people who performed (Common, Jill Scott, Manuel Miranda etc) aren’t gangsta rappers and don’t promote gun violence in their music. Stop being a troll. Get off a hip hop site, you troll.
Vic Mensa doesn’t promote gun crime??? He’s is a gun criminal. convicted of illegal carry of a loaded gun with no permit in California. In my state that is mandatory minimum of two years in prison
Does he “promote” that? Does he glorify this in his music? I don’t condone illegality, but that’s his private life isn’t it? Perhaps he feels the need to protect himself in the very violent Chicago everyone’s always going on about. And you, use this one kid, in this one situation, and you try to discredit the entire purpose of the march. Sit yo ass down, Gaslighter.
Didn’t Vic plead guilty last year for getting caught with a loaded illegal firearm?
