Big Sean was trending today (Dec. 8) for dropping his joint LP “Double or Nothing” with producer Metro Boomin but not for a good reason. Overall, the Detroit rapper was blasted for many of his lyrics, particularly for a song called “Who’s Stopping Me,” where he seemed to say something about Black pride.

“I had a dream I rode with Rose Parks in the back of the ‘Bach / And we was blowing a blunt and she was packing a strap / Like, damn, it do feel good to be Black in the back,” he rhymes.

The twitter reactions were harsh and plentiful.

“Big Sean said he was in the Maybach smoking a blunt with Rosa Parks and she was loading a strap? one Twitter user asked. “What did she do to deserve this?”

“Why am I hearing Big Sean rap about smoking a blunt with Rosa Parks?” another person questioned.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
