Via Complex,
Raven-Symoné got dragged once again over the weekend after she so boldly tried to diss some of hip-hop’s biggest legends—including T.I., Jay Z, and Diddy—on an Instagram post. The former View co-host reposted a group photo of the Roc Nation pre-Grammys brunch that originally came from Speech of the hip-hop group Arrested Development that read.
His caption read, “A group of so-called ‘successful’ Black men (minus [DJ Khaled] racially) who became rich and famous from perpetuating the worst Black stereotypes to the ears and eyes of the whole planet like drug dealing, pimping, murdering other Black men and disrespecting Black women.”
Though the message is not Raven’s originally, the repost captioned with a series of emojis—the monocle, the mouthless face, and a yellow heart—indicated that she agreed with the sentiment. After a tsunami of backlash, Raven took down the post, but stood by her statement. “Deleted my post because the comments were not something I want my underage followers looking at," she wrote. "I'm not deleting because I don't believe in what I said."
