Travis Scott Changes His Tune On Black Lives Matter & Protesting

Travis Scott rubbed a lot of people the wrong way in 2014 when he seemed to criticize the people protesting for Mike Brown. 

Brown was an 18-year-old black man who was fatally shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri six years ago.

“I’m kind of angry that so many black people are acting like fake activists. It's like publicity and we're still talking about this," Scott said on Ebro in the Morning back then. "I’m not saying Mike Brown was an evil person. I'm not saying he was perfect either. I'm not saying he deserved to get killed, but I’m not saying that he didn’t deserve to pay for consequences he probably inflicted."

But now Scott is singing a different tune about black people protesting, now that George Floyd died in May during an arrest attempt.

“It's at a point where we got to move as one and really use our voice to maximize the attention we need. It's been a lot of hurt," he said on his .WAV Radio show recently. "It's been a lot of targeting towards our community. It's been a lot overlooked. It's been a lot of passive attention that aggressively needs to be handled."

"And just even for myself, whether I was young or might've said the wrong thing, or might've just been misinformed, or just might've just been so young, having other words on my mind, not even noticing that like, 'Yo, man. It's a one and two with this thing. Where there's people that's hurt, there's ways that you can jump up and help move the needle," he added.
