Drake, 21 Savage, Megan Thee Stallion, Post Malone, Travis Scott, Willow, Alicia Keys, and more are among the artists to have signed an open letter calling on lawmakers nationwide to “Protect Black Art.”
The move first began as a petition earlier this year in response to the YSL indictment in which Young Thug and Gunna were named, with more than 64,000 signatures having been amassed in the months since. This week, the call to action was expanded with the publication of an open letter in both the New York Times and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
On Wednesday, Liles discussed the larger Protect Black Art initiative during a Breakfast Club appearance. He also reflected on the tragic death of Takeoff, who was fatally shot in Houston this week at the age of 28.
