Killer Mike addresses criticism of Travis Scott’s fans towards him.
Killer Mike finally reacts to fans of Travis Scott who had been trashing him since he won rap album of the year at the Grammys over La Flame’s “Utopia.”
In a new interview with Complex, he said: “As an artist, I deeply have reverence for and admire Travis Scott, he’s amazing. I’m never going to think anybody deserves anything in front of me, especially when I put in my best. But a lot of his fans, they don’t like Mike now. And I have to accept that. That’s fine.”
He continued: “But there’s going to come a time in their life that someone they care deeply for dies. And the question is, what song are you going to pivot to? I happen to have a record called ‘Motherless’ that acknowledges that. A lot of those fans are young men and trying to find their way.”
“I listen to Travis, I jam. But man, does the record hit you like, shed tears? When she won’t let you see your child, with child support on your Black a-s. For the mistakes you’ve made. When you’re facing jail and your suspended license,” he added. “That’s what my music does. It’s there for you. It’s the blues, baby. I’m there to take care of the whole human being and to speak to the whole human being.”
Earlier this year, Killer Mike’s latest album “Michael” won Rap Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards, and also took home trophies for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance.
