Shaboozey Issued A Statement Addressing The Backlash Over His Grammys Acceptance Speech

Another popular post read, “Slaves built this country not immigrants and enslaved Black people didn’t come to America looking for a better life…they were forcibly removed from their homeland and worked dusk till dawn without a single wage…amid some of the gravest atrocities. Its Black History Month.”

“I understand what Shaboozey was probably trying to say, but my brother in Christ — it’s Black History Month! You have to word that properly if you’re going to bring it up, because the 400 years of building by African-American slaves is such a key part of the story,” someone else added.
