Among the heartbreaking pull quotes taken from Kanye West's campaign event in South Carolina over the weekend were his comments on Harriet Tubman, with the "Wash Us in the Blood" artist stating she "never actually freed the slaves." As captured in widely shared video, the audience at Sunday's event seemed to turn on West following the comments, which continued to be the subject of passionate and concerned condemnation from fellow artists on Monday.
T.I. criticized West for slandering and disrespecting Tubman's legacy by using his platform to spread "falsities" about her.
"THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TOO FAR!" T.I., whose previous West collaborations include the ill-received 2018 release "Ye vs. the People," said in an Instagram note on Monday. "I truly hope you either have a logical explanation for all this... or get the medical attention you so desperately need, bro. I say this with love and sincerity."
