Plies Shares Hot Take On Black Men’s Silence On Black Issues; Says It Is Tied To “White Paychecks”

Renowned for his raw criticism, Plies is once again giving hot takes on social media. With his opinions on blacks and societal concerns, the rapper from Florida—who has become one of the genre’s most outspoken political voices lately—recently ignited a contentious debate. Plies called out his anonymous colleagues for what he considered to be a lack of sincere advocacy in a brazen social media post. He addressed a worrying pattern he saw without naming specific people: black men being mute on black concerns until their financial interests are independent of white benefactors’ agendas.

On Monday, March 4, Plies tweeted, sparking a heated discussion on social media even as opinions from the audience on the tweet were divided. The ongoing discourse initiated by the Plies’ tweet underscores the significance of genuineness and ethical standards in the realm of activism.

“Most Black Men Don’t Speak On Black Issues (Publicly). Until The White Man [Stops] Paying Them. The Checks Have To Stop 1st B4 They Come Off Mute!!!”

Plies’ claim also presents significant issues regarding the relationship between activism, money, and racism in the hip-hop world. His focus on the possible impact of monetary incentives on public debate pushes his colleagues to reevaluate their goals and motivations for speaking out on the difficulties that black people face. For now, Plies is unabashedly using his platform to question the status quo and ignite important conversations within the hip-hop community – regardless of whether his remarks strike a chord with his contemporaries or not.
