GET OUT: Daniel Caesar Thinks Black People Need To Get With The “Winning Team’s Strategy” Because We Aren’t Winning As a Culture

On Tuesday night, Grammy-Award winning R&B singer, Daniel Caesar, took to his Instagram Live to stir some controversy and test the waters of the infamous cancel culture. During the live stream, Caesar defended YesJulz after her controversial appearance on “Easily Offended” and condemned black people for being “so mean” to white people. 

“Why are we being so mean to Julz?” Caesar asked, after acknowledging he was under the influence and aware that his next comments would lead to his cancellation. “Why are we being so mean to white people right now? That’s a serious question. Why is it that we’re allowed to be disrespectful and rude to everybody else and when anybody returns any type of energy to us…That’s not equality. I don’t wanna be treated like I can’t take a joke.”

As he continued, he addressed his recent incident with Dave Chappelle, in which the comedian called him “very gay.” “I just went through that fucking Chappelle shit, and I had to in the moment acknowledge that I was being fucking sensitive and that I need to be able to take a joke just like everybody else,” he continued. “That’s what it is. People are allowed to say whatever the fuck they want but am I going to fight them or am I going to accept what they have to say and keep it fucking moving. The only people that I don’t respect and who I think can’t take a joke, I think that they’re less than me. Those are the people who I don’t say my honest opinion around, and that’s disrespect”

“White people have been mean to us in the past. What are you gonna do about that? Tell me what you’re gonna do about that. Are we winning right now as a culture? Are we popular in society? We’re not” the Grammy Award-winning singer said to his followers, who refuted his statements. “And you can’t win the game by choosing to not accept the winning team’s strategy. You have to acknowledge their strategy and build a strategy on top of that,” he said. “There’s no answer other than creating understanding and keeping it moving. That’s some biblical shit. You have to bridge the gap.”

Elsewhere in the live, Caesar opened up about his own struggles as a dark skin, black man, but refused to allow it to project his frustrations onto others. 

“Being a victim doesn’t get you paid,” he said. “I’ve said what I’ve said before and y’all tried to cancel me, and I apologized like a bitch. I don’t believe in that shit because I think you guys are wrong and I’m right.”
