Kwame Brown is speaking out after watching the BET Awards ceremony. The former NBA player took issue with the content like Lil Nas X and his much talked about performance.
“BET, what’s that stand for now? Because I know god**** well y’all ain’t still telling us this lie, this supposed to be Black Entertainment Television,” Brown said. “That’s what BET ain’t, it gotta soul or something? Because I think BET gotta White zaddy now.”
Brown questioned why many shows directed towards the Black community and youth encourage sex, violence, and homosexuality. He also called out Lil Nas X for kissing another man during his performance.
“Lil Nas X, you got to calm this s* down, brother. Nobody gives a f* that you gay, sir,” Brown added. “Well you don’t gotta keep kissing and all this s* on stage, sir. You don’t gotta keep having your clothes halfway off your a and yo body open and being provocative like you are and kissing on the damn devil and all these shoe promotions with blood in it, sir. That is not you just being about you being gay, you being a puppet. And everybody that like you, these kids might find that to be okay to do it because they like yo dumba**!”
Brown claimed the LGBTQ+ community gets more passes for “bad behavior” than heterosexuals. He also claimed athletes are held to a higher standard than entertainers.
