Asher Roth Speaks On Black Rappers Showing Off & Neglecting Africa

Asher Roth

“When I dropped that … (I thought) ‘You guys are always going off about how much money you have. Do you realize what’s going on in this world right now?’ All these black rappers ? African rappers ? talking about how much money they have. ‘Do you realize what’s going on in Africa right now?’” Roth says.

“It’s just like, ‘You guys are disgusting. Talking about billions and billions of dollars you have. And spending it frivolously, when you know, the Motherland is suffering beyond belief right now.’”

Asher Roth got into some trouble earlier this week for making a joke about, “Nappy Headed Hoes,” on twitter while at Rutgers. He at first apologized and then deleted the joke, apology and said his account was hacked. I know Asher isn’t racist but he has to be careful with the jokes he makes in public.

I also don’t like that he mentions, “Black Rappers,” when it should just be rappers period
