Senseless Violence. When will learn as a people. There can be no peace when violence is standing in the way!
Well, rappers seem to knows this all too well, but often end up at the center of physical violent encounters and some even death. However social media is playing a major role in senseless violent acts, and one rapper is now fed up after losing a close friend to Twitter last month.
Rapper, Jeezy recently interviewed with Vladtv to discuss the impact of social media and Tweefing aka Twitter beefing.
In the interview Jeezy says:
It’s just crazy to see what these kids are doing today over some internet sh*t. It almost made me want to not be on twitter no more and it’s probably why I haven’t just been on it because I’m like, “Damn, what the f*ck is going on?” I understand everybody is tough these days; tough economic times make sh*t really frustrating for people but it’s one thing to have an argument in your neighborhood but when you start beefing on f*cking twitter and people start dying, that’s when you know we got a problem.
I just lost a homeboy over twitter beef so I don’t think it’s a joke, not at all. R.I.P to Kev; He was a good kid. I lost my homeboy and I had to be in the hospital; I left the club and came to the hospital. I had to sit there with his mother and that’s why I tell you, to y’all this sh*t is questions but to me, this sh*t is real. I sat in the room with his mother and brother; the nurse walked in and said “Ma’am, I’m sorry but you lost your son to multiple gun shot wounds to the chest” and she walked out and left her to deal with that. I had to sit there with her and comfort her.
