Rihanna, Vic Mensa, Chuck D And More Artists Respond To The Baltimore Protests

“We don’t need an excuse for them to kill another one of us.”

April 27, 2015

Protesters might not be receiving the balanced coverage they deserve from the media tonight but a handful of musicians have offered their support. Tonight everyone from Rihanna to Kelly Rowland, Vic Mensa, Freddie Gibbs, Chuck D, Russell Simmons, YG, Big Boi, and Bun B took to Twitter to weigh in on the protests following the tragic death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray, who passed away from spinal injuries most likely caused by a "rough ride" at the hands of Baltimore police, six of whom have since been suspended. Here's how the music world responded.
