Description
Jay-Z addressed the Target boycott backlash head-on during his Yankee Stadium residency — and he didn't apologize. In this episode, we break down the freestyle where Hov called out the hypocrisy of critics boycotting Target while still posting on Instagram, shopping on Amazon, and streaming on platforms owned by the same "problematic" conglomerates.
We get into it: Why does a chunk of the internet turn on successful Black entertainers the second they partner with a brand under fire? We pull up the receipts on Michael Jordan's actual philanthropy (hint: it's not what Twitter says), unpack Obama's My Brother's Keeper initiative, and ask the real question — is there such a thing as a "correct" way to be successful and Black in America?
