Rapper Sues City Over Free Speech | Jackson News

A 28-year-old rapper and former mayoral candidate in Jackson, Mississippi, is suing the city after being removed from council meetings for wearing a campaign shirt and silenced when criticizing a city employee—claims he says violate his First Amendment rights. After months of unanswered pleas to city officials and advocacy from FIRE, Servis argues a local ordinance unfairly empowers officials to suppress criticism while allowing praise, stifling civic dialogue. He’s demanding the court declare the law unconstitutional, seek an apology, and force reform—warning that without free speech, corruption will fester and progress stalls. He’s even considering another run for office if change doesn’t come. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
