Detroit rapper Danny Brown was performing in Minneapolis last Friday when a woman from the audience pulled his pants down and started giving him a blowjob.
People seem pretty torn about how to feel about the incident. Some are angry that Brown was congratulated on Twitter, citing double standards and arguing that he was basically raped. Others say he reacted poorly and should have stopped her sooner. His opener, fellow rapper Kitty Pryde, wrote a lengthy post about the incident on Vice:
“I’m mad that a person thought it was a good idea to perform a sex act on another person without their consent,” she wrote. “I’m mad that nobody made her leave. I’m mad that Danny had to actually wonder what he was supposed to do at that point. I’m mad that when I went home and said I had no respect for that girl, I was attacked for being a ‘slut-shamer.’”
It doesn’t matter how many times he sings about oral sex, like on “Bruiser Brigade” (“Yo bitch! She wanna suck me”), “Monopoly” (“You must suck a lot of d*ck”), and “Pac Blood” (“Make Sarah Palin deep-throat ’til she hiccup”). I’m sure only a very small percentage of the 700 people in attendance were voyeuristically freaky enough to want to see that. And he probably didn’t want it to happen.
(Brown has not addressed the issue, choosing instead to re-tweet comments and links that relate to it.)
Groupies. Let this be a lesson. Keep your sloppy sea anemone lips away from your favorite artist until he’s backstage, on his tour bus, or in his hotel. Make sure to knock and ask politely.
