Mos Def has been in the news for matters outside of his music and acting career lately, whether it’s announcing his retirement or being arrested for violating immigration laws.
Out of nowhere, though, he was up at Hot 97 this morning for an hour-long interview to cover a bit of everything with Ebro. “First of all, I did nothing illegal, let me just be clear about that,” he says about his South Africa travel issues before explaining more about the situation. He also talks about the Mayweather/McGregor fight, Colin Kaepernick’s stance, returning to music and acting, the current state of rap and more.
Shout out to J.I.D!
