Lil Nas X and Lizzo question the merits of the music industry's Blackout Tuesday

While several in the music world and beyond have embraced the movement by posting black squares to their Instagram feeds, others questioned the effectiveness of a blank post and a hashtag. Country rapper Lil Nas X and singer-songwriter Kehlani were among the skeptics who worried the well-intended gesture might do more harm than good.

“I know y’all mean well but... bro saying stop posting for a day is the worst idea ever,” Lil Nas X tweeted early Tuesday, adding, “I just really think this is the time to push as hard as ever. i don’t think the movement has ever been this powerful. we don’t need to slow it down by posting nothing. we need to spread info and be as loud as ever.”

i just really think this is the time to push as hard as ever. i don’t think the movement has ever been this powerful. we don’t need to slow it down by posting nothing. we need to spread info and be as loud as ever.

I don't participate in things like this.

Ironic how these two gravitated to each other. It’s actually quite common. 😅

Because it is.

They’re right.

Your article is counter-productive

Did lizzo even show up to her own organized protest?

Back before fascists took over our country and local radio station triplej DoubleJRadio , they played NWA Fuck the police repeating for 24 hours i believe. It was in retaliation for mere censorship. An idea.

Because it’s pandering and does 0 to fix whats is broken.
