Calls have been made to blacklist the rapper Casper Walsh after he admitted to engaging in behaviour which saw him humiliate and harass a black musician who condemned racism in Ireland.
Full story below…
‘Leoness‘ vocalist Erica Cody was one of many musicians who condemned Walsh’s supposed use and abuse of black culture and people for personal gain. Part of that abuse, much to the horror of many, saw Walsh sport blackface.
This week, Ms. Cody took to Instagram to reveal that the Versatile rapper made an attempt to intimidate her for speaking out against his behaviour by blocking her as she tried to leave a public area.
Press play…
I look up and he’s sitting there blocking me out of my car parking spot.
Walsh issued an apology after several players in Ireland’s Pop music scene condemned his efforts to silence, bully and harass a black woman.
He shared…
Clearly it wasn’t funny. I’m sorry if you felt intimidated or threatened by my behaviour.
There was really no malicious intent, I didn’t try to block your car in. I wasn’t trying to intimidate you.
After the past few months that we’ve had.. That was the first time that I’d seen you in person.
And I just got excited and decided to do something stupid and say, ‘what’s up’. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for making you feel that way.
Alas, the apology did little to change the opinions of the fans and taste makers who have pulled support for his controversial act.
