Right-wing engagement farmer Candace Owens "believes" gangsta rap was a federal operation.
"Gangster rap was never black culture. It was created by the Feds, who proferred deals to homosexual black men in prison and then turned them into artificial celebrities. The goal was to create false idols to destroy black American values. I will never change my mind on this," she typed on X.
Ice Cube, who was a big part of why the gangsta rap genre took off, disputed this.
At least when it comes to him
"We called it Reality Rap the industry coined it Gangsta Rap. The fans wanted gangsta rap and that’s what they got. The Feds didn’t write none of my sh*it. I’m a real MC," he typed.
Who's right here?
