“To all our kissys, We really want to Sincerely apologize for the content that was uploaded that caused so much disappointment to our fans. We have to seem calm on the outside but the time leading up to this letter has honestly been hard. Although we wanted to and should've addressed this sooner. We are taking the first opportunity to address it now. We are sorry. Our intention was to show how much we loved the category of old school hip hop because it greatly influences our music. While shooting the content we ended up taking the concept too far. We realize now that our content was culturally insensitive and take full responsibility for our actions and can only promise to do better. We've spent the past few days learning and reflecting how our actions have disappointed many of You. We know that there is nothing we can say of do that will magically fix the mistake we made. The only thing that ve can promise is that we'll Continue to educate ourselves and show our sincerity through our actions rather than words. Our mission has always been to spread confidence and love through our music. We truly regret the choices we made and are genuinely sorry for any pain and distress we have caused our fans. This situation has been a valuable learning experience for us. Our kissy's support means the world to us and we will continue to honor you all in every way possible.”

I’m laughing at the people who said Kendrick’s halftime show was too obscene and shouldn’t have been shown to kids:

He self edited out the cuss words

Everyone was fully clothed from head to toe

There was Americana on stage and with the performers

What exactly was “obscene” about it? 🤔

Skip the religion and politics, head straight to the compassion. Everything else is a distraction.

When I was 17 years old I got a job at @nkirubooks.bsky.social in Brooklyn. When the store has financial issues, Yasiin Bey and I purchased it and kept it going for a few more years. Now it exists online at Kweliclub.com come visit us!

Here's a pic me and Wordsworth at Nkiru in 1997. #booksky
