Lil Baby, Tyler the Creator, G-Eazy Turn Out for Black Music Action Coalition Gala as Jon Platt, Kevin Liles Deliver Poignant Speeches About Diversity Needs
The rapper was honored along with several other prominent figures and organizations in the music business including “Big Jon” Platt, Nikole Hannah-Jones, and Rep. Maxine Waters at the event.
Tyler, the Creator at the 2022 Black Music Action Coalition’s Music in Action Awards Gala held at The Beverly Hilton on September 22, 2022 in Beverly Hills, California.The proposed bill comes in light of rappers Young Thug and Gunna’s ongoing legal woes as they both face hefty criminal charges.
“I’m gonna set aside the common sense thing that artistic creative expression is the same thing as a confession. I’m gonna set aside a First Amendment should protect our freedom of expression.Scholars around the world have tracked almost 500 cases of Black and brown people subjected to a double standard and treating that art as confessions in court. This doesn’t happen if you’re white. Not ever,” Liles said.
Thug and Gunna’s court case inspired Liles to get involved in the fight to protect the two men, and artists like them, from having their lyrics manipulated by prosecutors and potentially silencing the next generation of rappers who aspire to set trends with their words, he told the audience.
