On Monday, Tip went to his social media pages and didn’t hold back on checking Kanye. The Atlanta native and publicized Black Lives Matter activist spoke up for Tubman’s legacy and blasted Ye for downplaying Tubman’s historic contributions to helping the liberation of Blacks during slavery times.
“Nahhhh WE Can’t let you do that Ye’…. What WE NOT gon do is slander nor disrespect the legacy of our heroic Queen Harriet Tubman by telling falsities in an attempt to discredit the contributions she made to LIBERATE OUR PEOPLE‼️ Cuzz U BUGGIN‼️ THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TOO FAR‼️ I truly hope you either have a logical explanation for all this… or get the medical attention you so desperately need Bro.

Before You Go
On Sunday, Kanye put together an epic presidential rally event at Exquis Event Center in North Charleston, South Carolina. In addition to discussing Harriet Tubman, West spoke on his marriage to reality TV star Kim Kardashian and his past struggles with abortion.
During a rambling speech at the Exquis Event Center in North Charleston, the rapper, 43, was at times happy, angry and sad as he spoke out against abortion and the morning-after pill, saying, “No Plan B. There is Plan A.” West got emotional when he revealed that Kardashian, 39, had called him when they were dating and she was freaking out after a doctor’s appointment and he thought he gave her AIDS cause he was living the rapper lifestyle. Then she told him that she was pregnant and he was relieved but they spoke about Kim taking a pill, to end the pregnancy. (Us Weekly)
