Michael Rubin thinks the black community needs to do more to support Meek Mill against Gay jokes.
In his opinion WE are not doing enough.
Now Mike…
Michael!??
You know what let me finish the post!
According to Vibe Meek has been the a constant target of jokes over the years for a variety of reasons.
Michael Rubin, the owner of Fanatics and his good friend, recently called out the hate in the Black community and defended the Philadelphia rapper against jokes about him being homosexual.
Rubin joined The Breakfast Club this week, where the topic of the “Going Bad” rapper’s infamous bunny-hopping video came up.
The former Philadelphia 76ers minority stake owner did not find the jokes as amusing as the rest of the community.
He said:
“When I see the narrative of, a really good friend of mine like Meek, and people are trying to… Again, if he was gay — which there’s not one gay bone in his body — who cares, number one,” he said. “If people wanna be gay, it is 2024. Who the f**k cares? Number two, there’s not a gay bone in his body, so why do people wanna lie about that? Why do people want to change the narrative of a bet he made with me to hurt him?”
Then he said:
“That is the one thing I’ve learned about, you know, look, I’m just being blunt because it’s me,” he began. “It’s the one thing I’ve learned about Black culture that I don’t like is that Black hate on hate.”
Charlamagne Tha God encouraged Rubin to elaborate more on his thoughts, to which he replied:
“Yeah, it’s horrible… Why does somebody want to bring somebody else down? Let’s try to build everybody up. I’d be more excited to see one of my friends do something that’s 99% less meaningful to me but it would be meaningful to them because I want them to do great.”
Rubin did take a step back and open himself up to be corrected by Charlamagne and DJ Envy, but he stood firm in his stance that internal hate in the Black community is unfortunate for him to see.
“I think there’s a little bit of a Black culture of Black hate on hate, like that Black judge that Meek had that hated on him and wanted to go extra hard on him,” he said. “It’s what people always say to me, like ‘Black hate on hate.’ I think it’s terrible. I think it’s culturally wrong.”
Watch:
Michael Rubin says he hates that the black community tears down Meek Mill and claims Meek doesn’t have a “gay” bone in his body (no pun intended)

Twitter did not hold back, most felt Rubin’s comments were out of line and disingenuous.

To @michaelrubin, what's the difference of 'hate on hate' between Black & white cultures? If you want to defend your friend, Meek Mill, fine. Do not turn that into an opportunity to display your white privilege by poorly explaining Black culture to 2 morons who leech from it https://t.co/ipPMEyOQ7H
