Me and @nikohigh walking into Christiania Copenhagen last night. One of my favorite places in the world until last night. I've been hearing about Danish racism on the rise. I witnessed it firsthand. I was attacked by two bigots last night saying they "hate me" and they didn't even know who I was, they just didn't like the color of my skin. It wasn't an Internet attack, it was physical. I was hit and kicked. Thank you to @nikohigh for helping me get out of there. It goes to show you that racism and hate doesn't stop for ppl with money or "celebrity" whatever that means. They stop nothing tho. The show still went on, Copenhagen was a great crowd. Even tho I will never see Christiania the same, a place I once wrote about for a travel blog as utopian, I will always love my fans in Denmark. Your love last night, especially while I was away from family during holiday, only made me stronger.

  • angelscolonStop crying
  • pelle8kilostop crying you were filming were you shouldnt. nothing to do with color
  • minouen@talibkweli I work at @musikloppen in CA (Christiania) We read about the incident in our local newspaper, and I must say non of us were chocked. The "street" isn't the same place it was a few years ago, and the tone is much harder and so desrespectful. But it didn't have anything to do with colour. You were talking on your phone in a dodgy area, and the guys down there are so small, and constantly afraid. Even the old "christianites" don't trust these guys anymore. In fact it was out of our hands and theres nothing we would rather do, than to kick them out for good. Its just a little more complicated than that, but I just wanted you to know, that we're all so sorry, you had to go through this. And next time, please just don't bring your phone. Im a HUGE fan of yours, and I hope you'll read this. Thank you for your version, it was really sobering to read <3
  • mlidkIm pretty sure it had nothing to do with color, since Christiania is filled with people of all colors and backgrounds everyday, and ive never seen anything related to racism there.
  • imnattyrosiRacism is such an ugly thing, one which some people will never get past. It's nice that regardless of the experience you still manage to see the good in the situation. Peace in love to all my homies regardless of your skin tone or religion ✌️💚☯
  • msmaghee@rodro252 read
  • msmaghee"Next time please just don't bring your phone.." as if ANYONE has the explicit right to cause physical harm to ANYONE for no reason. Your justifications are hilarious.... HILARIOUS
  • krissainSuch a shame that you judge a place because of two idiots. Don't be afraid man! It's one of my favourite places and will continue to be!!
