It seems like Kanye West isn’t the only rapper having troubles with a former DJ. After a long series of tweets discussing race in American and ‘white rappers’, Childish Gambino took to twitter today to clarify his comments and respond to comments made by his former girlfriend and DJ, Samantha Duenas (DJ So Super Sam).

Things started last night went Gambino posted a number of tweets on race, responding to those who consider him a ‘white rapper’, an issue Gambino has spoke about in his music, tweets that he later clarified today stating that he doesn’t hold all the benefits of a ‘white rapper’. He also spoke more directly about the Michael Brown murder in Ferguson, stating that he thinks police should wear recording devices and that marches don’t work anymore.

However, these series of tweets visibly bothered Gambino’s former DJ and girlfriend DJ So Super Sam who fired a subtweet clearly aimed at Gambino (whom she does not follow) which read “OF COURSE U TURN AROUND AND MAKE IT ABOUT U, CLAAAASSSSSSIC U” and responding to someone on twitter saying “oh me? im gr8. im not using my country’s current sociopolitical tensions as a vehicle to do a twitter pity rant about myself.”

Although Gambino also no longer follows his former girlfriend, he caught wind of her tweets and decided to address them in a subtweet of his own stating “i honestly don’t give two fucks if you hate me. none of this was ever about me. and i hope you understand that.”

While someone certainly should not make their country’s sociopolitical tensions about themselves, Gambino certainly makes some good points about race and is free to express his own views on current events, even if that means an ex-girlfriend may not enjoy it.
