2:08Now PlayingIn Thursday's NIGHT SCHOOL episode, Marc Lamont Hill reveals a hard truth: Diddy’s federal sex trafficking arrest has led to a shocking surge in his music streams, rising by 18.3%. But what does it mean when we keep feeding into the empire of a man facing severe sexual assault allegations? Marc Lamont Hill breaks it down, comparing Diddy’s situation to that of R. Kelly, whose streams skyrocketed after his downfall.
Hill warns that streaming Diddy’s music is more than nostalgia—it’s financing his legal defense, helping him escape accountability for the harm he’s allegedly caused. He urges Black men and all fans to think twice before clicking play on those classic tracks, knowing their dollars could be used to fuel a predator’s continued oppression.
Marc speaks directly to the responsibility we all have in not supporting artists whose legacies are built on harming others. The more you stream, the more you empower them to keep hurting people.
