The Propaganda War on Hip Hop

by Wilfred Kanu Jr.13/12/202514/12/2025

This beloved music and Culture didn’t enter this world peacefully. It showed up the way most Black trends do (screaming, kicking, and immediately misunderstood). From the first beatbox breath in a Bronx park, haters were…

The Abrupt & Devastating Demise of Charlie Kirk

by Wilfred Kanu Jr.15/09/202516/09/2025

Witnessing the footage of Charlie Kirk's demise was a lamentable experience, and I strongly discourage anyone from seeking it out. It's a disappointment that the person who captured that video chose to share it on…

When I mention Dr. Umar's Everest of Challenges on the Hill of Betrayal, some might think I'm comparing starting a school to climbing Mt. Everest. No, it shouldn't be impossible to start a school. However,…

The Guarded Romance of Performers

by Wilfred Kanu Jr.29/07/202529/07/2025

by Wilfred Kanu Jr.29/07/202529/07/2025

Ozzy Osbourne’s Unexpected Departure

by Wilfred Kanu Jr.26/07/202529/07/2025

Speaking of unexpected departures, the nature of mortality contrasts with the legacies of cultural titans like Ozzy Osbourne. We wish such figures possessed immortality, their names echoing through time as long as our planet continues…

Jeffrey Epstein’s Shadowy Legacy

by Wilfred Kanu Jr.24/07/202514/12/2025

Situations like the cover-up of Jeffrey Epstein's shadowy legacy are some of the reasons for my aversion to geopolitical debates. For me, most people are unaware of what is truly happening. This lack of information…

Disillusionment with Obama’s LGBTQIA+ Rhetoric

by Wilfred Kanu Jr.24/07/202524/07/2025

Barack Obama's lingering radical feminist and LGBTQIA+ rhetoric is counterproductive for him. His attempts to maintain political influence appear futile, a grasping at ghosts and shadows. The President's suitable path would involve a complete retreat…
