Chynna Rogers: "[A$AP Yams Message Is] Don't Let Me Have Passed in Vain"

Subscribe to our channel:    / @snobette   Philly/New York rapper Chynna Rogers in part two of her Snobette interview gives her thoughts on the impact of police brutality on black communities, noting that not all police officers are problematic, but among those who are "looking for action," even wearing body cameras hasn't made a difference. Rogers believes that police brutality has long been an issue and one that is a product of a country that has never truly embraced the concept of equality. "We didn't get here, we've been here," said Chynna, "You can't base a whole party of these type of things and expect not to breed in the future a race of Donald Trumps." As the Black Lives Matter movement relates to celebrities, Rogers thinks it's good if people in a position of influence speak out, but she says people should realize they're not necessarily going to say what people want to hear. Commenting on A$AP Rocky's controversial statements on Black Lives Matter that were recently brought forth from an interview conducted in 2015, Rogers thinks Rocky was probably taken out of context. When asked about U.K. artist M.I.A. being removed as a headliner for Afropunk's London festival, Rogers says she is a fan of M.I.A., but said some of her comments on the Black Lives Matter movement were questionable. Speaking on the constant converage in the media of images of violence perpetrated on black people, Rogers agrees it's important to protect yourself so you don't become desensitized, recommending that people stay off social media and be outside. Brought into the ASAP circle and mentored by A$AP Yams, Rogers commented on how she still hears him since his passing in 2015, saying that the message are all good, "Don't let me me have passed in vain. Remember that I believed in you. It's all about staying focused." Rogers adds that while Yams was known for being playful and fun, he also had a serious and focused side, adding, "There's a reason that everyone respects him so much."
