Ban Bob Vylan? The people said ‘Nah’. We need artists that speak up. Our album ‘Humble As The Sun’ is back in the charts and, as an independent band releasing music on our own label, it shows the power of the people. You can’t get dropped if you own the label.
Thank you all!

Played festival last week, playing another festival this weekend, then another 2 weeks later, just sold out one of three nights in the Netherlands, announced another show today, all our back catalogue is streaming well, merch sold out & I’m still handsome as ever. I’m busy Warren
Those tough guys in @BobbyVylan sure have been quiet, lately. FAFO.

Make no mistake, this is a scare tactic. I went on the podcast and as hard as the lobby groups and media tried, they couldn’t twist anything I said. So they have resorted to lobbying for Louis’ sponsorship to be pulled in an attempt to scare others out of giving me a platform.

Watching politicians and mainstream media suddenly change their rhetoric on the genocide makes me feel like I’ve truly gone crazy. Can someone please confirm that a few weeks ago they villainized us on the front pages for being against this while they were very much pro-genocide.

They thought they were going to get a dumb angry punk ranting. Instead they got articulate and considered responses to each question with facts to back it up when needed. Their hope to further vilify me couldn’t run, so they target Louis to make an example for sitting with me.

I have turned down every interview request from every media outlet, newspaper and tv channel you can think of since Glastonbury but I have become increasingly aware that if I do not add my voice to the mix our story will be told for us, so I reached out to Louis. Episode out now.
Incoming! Three months on from THAT Glasto performance Bobby Vylan, frontman of MOBO award-winning duo Bob Vylan, is on TLTP to discuss his politics, his music, his life, Chuck D, UK supermarkets, and what he was thinking when he led the chant that launched a thousand headlines.

Train A leaves LDN, towards Bristol, traveling at 70mph. At the same time, Train B leaves Bristol, heading to LDN, and travels at 60 mph. How long does it take police to watch a video of a band on stage and determine whether or not a crime has taken place?

ALSO, I am well aware the problems of talking to someone so affiliated with the BBC, Spotify etc, but when you have been under such global attack by the media as we’ve been, the response must too have global reach and Louis, whether you personally like him or not, has that reach.

This idea that “a band won’t end a war” is such a foolish way to view using platforms of visibility. If you have a level of reach that not everyone is afforded, maybe you should use it in a way that is beneficial to the world? Even if only to show others that it’s ok to speak up.

The wild thing is, the London Met AND Avon & Somerset forces are working on this together. And between the two of them and the CPS they still have yet to determine from two separate 10 second clips if any offence has taken place.

Let me just be clear! This is NOT cool. Not in the slightest. I’m on stage talking about my experience and relationship with this country as a Black man, and a white woman decides that I’m not allowed to voice my opinion in that way because it upsets her!?
While this was a strangely comical situation, it is such a flagrant display of privilege and entitlement that she was able to get on stage and felt she had the right to shout at me about her disagreeing with our lyrics IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR SHOW! It’s mind blowing
