Talib Kweli Speaks on Cincinnati, Ohio robbery by Associates of MOOD; Claims His Family is Being Threatened Now

Posted: 24 May 2022 09:25 AM PDT

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd6XhNipV7_/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=8afe8711-503a-4240-b607-a32c3b1c46e1

a cousin of an artist he worked with, robbed him last time he was here.

Punched him in the face, stole money

Says he was too comfy and was caught slippin

He no longer has love for the city, and was used.

He is getting blackmailed and harassed

Bugs and his cousin Dante (promoter from Cinti) asked him to do a show with Erica Badu, acted shady about how much he was getting paid... he didnt get a deposit and didnt press for it--

couple days before the show, an argument ensues and he decides not to do show, since he has no deposit he doesnt feel obligated, but since its in Cinti he feels like his fans are here and he wants to perform.

They argue again backstage and he gets punched for bringing up payment. He leaves the venue and goes outside.

This fight happened in 2019.

He now claims hes being threatened by the members as well as the associates of Mood

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why is X artist higher than Y artist on the 200 chart, even though X artist sold less?

A: This is because of a discrepancy between Billboard's ranking and the ranking from the website that the sales data is scraped from

Q: Where do you get the sales data from?

A: https://hitsdailydouble.com/sales_plus_streaming

Q: What does "err" mean on the 200 chart?

A: If you are seeing "err", that means that the bot I use to gather chart data couldn't identify sales data for a particular album because of a difference in album naming between Billboard and HitsDailyDouble
