Chuck D wants N-Word to be banned from Twitter.
Elon Musk is trying to decrease the hate speech on his newly owned social media platform Twitter, and Chuck D has a suggestion for the Billionaire. The Public Enemy legend asks Musk to ban the use of the N-Word on the platform.
“Yo @elonmusk the next thing twitter should do is ban the N-Word the Ni**a & ni**er by anyone that uses it here,” wrote Chuck D. “Then we know things are pointing in an equalized direction. Then you can convince Zuck to do the same at IG FB get it outta here suspend em. It’s as bad as that symbol.”
He contnued, “It ain’t like kicking somebody’s tail in a fight. It’s all words and images here .. keyboard sht … so I’m not talking about anywhere else except social media right now because it can be done .. there gonna be a lotta people backbroke over their ‘pet’ getting smashed on here.”

Chuck D’s comments come after the recent controversy over Kanye West’s tweets of “inciting violence”, for which Elon Musk banned him from the platform.
Kanye repeated his anti-Semitic remarks when appearing on Infowars, a show sponsored by far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. “I like Hitler,” he said with his face covered up with a mask, “I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis.” “The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world,” he continued. “I see good things about Hitler, also.”
