Joey Bada$$ quits smoking weed and suggests you do the same, “Meditation is much better.” - HipHop

I commented a bit on the thread about the allegations against Busdriver, Zomby, KOOL A.D., and others. I reached out to Cult Days on instagram about Busdriver sexually assaulting me in February of 2016.

After I made these comments on /hhh, my inbox was full of messages showing support (thank you all, by the way), asking questions, and even a few other people coming forward with their own experiences similar to what I came forward with. I've done two press interviews, but I don't plan on doing more of those.

As someone who has been a lurker here for a long time and a lover of HH, it's been a bumpy ride trying to figure out how to handle these situations. It's been hard to wrap my head around enjoying someone's music while knowing that deep down they are not only a different person than who they present to their audience, but they are the kind of person who is okay with perpetrating sexual violence. I came to the realization about a year after the incident with Busdriver that if he weren't Busdriver, if he weren't someone I had been listening to for so long, if he were just an acquaintance in my everyday life, I wouldn't be comfortable being around him or supporting him in any way. It's weird how long it took for me to get rid of all the Busdriver music and merch I've collected over the years when it's easy for me to completely drop people I've known for years who are predatory or malicious towards others in this same way.

The conversations that were started in my inbox were really great to have and I wanted to open up that discussion here. I'm going to set some ground rules so y'all know what to expect from me.

I'm not making this thread to dish 'juicy gossip' so I'll probably stick with just replying to comments or questions about my own experiences. I can't speak on behalf of other people or survivors, so I won't try to.
I'm not going to be talking about or replying to comments about Milo/Rory out of respect for him and his family. What I will say is that I've never had a nonconsensual encounter with him and that I don't want to bring up his name when I'm talking about nonconsensual experiences with other individuals.
I'm not going to reply to inflammatory, trolling, or straight up victim-blaming comments.

Lastly, if you or someone you know has been assaulted, molested, or raped, there are a lot of resources out there. Here are a few links:

If you want to talk to someone anonymously, you can message me here. Reaching out for the first time is the hardest part so if I can help with that, don't hesitate to message me.
