Out rapper, singer/songwriter and producer Solomon releases a statement regarding Russia’s recently passed law banning LGBT propaganda. Not shy of being revolutionary, the out rapper has always been out spoken even in a homophobic genre such as Hip-Hop. After speaking to Russian fans on Twitter this weekend about turning down a show, the singer says this:
“It absolutely breaks my heart to see this happening to my Russian brothers and sisters. In fact, it angers me. I sometimes forget how blessed I am to live in a city where being gay isn’t just simply tolerated, but celebrated. It is my hopes that President Vladimir Putin puts on a shirt and realizes that there are far more crucial and real issues in his country that needs to be fixed. Bullying and oppressing people is what cowards do. And in my eyes he is a coward. This law is very disgusting.”
