ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES (Jay Z X Gentrification Freestyle, Chris Brown, Remy Ma, Billboard Music Awards)

Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans! For this week’s episode, Jay Z’s controversial freestyle about gentrification kicks off the news segment. Eden, Nic and Sope consider whether the backlash is coming from a place of misplaced semantics or is it promoting the idea that black people should mirror the behaviours of white supremacist capitalists (00:21:48). Once again, Chris Brown has involved himself in drama after lashing out at the band CHVRCHES after criticising Marshmello for working with (00:52:15). This then leads to lengthy debate about Chris Brown’s overall career trajectory as the boys weigh up whether Chris has the ability to make a quality album in 2019 and more importantly if he even has quality albums in his discography at the moment (01:05:42). Next up is Remy Ma’s current legal woes in the wake of the news that she turned herself into the police after allegedly violating her probation by assaulting another woman (01:29:30). Concluding the episode is a short and sweet review of the 2019 Billboard Music Awards where Nic has a few choice words for one Taylor Swift and in true Sope form, he praises Mariah Carey for being honoured with the Icon Award (01:40:00).  Not one to miss!
