Vince Staples Accuses Developers of Trying to Buy His Land Amid LA Fires
Rapper Vince Staples has taken to social media to express his outrage and frustration amid the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, which have forced him to evacuate his home.
In a series of tweets, Staples accused developers of attempting to buy out his land and properties as a result of the disaster. “These developers think they can come in here and buy up all our homes while we’re trying to figure out how to stay alive,” he wrote on Twitter.
Staples, who grew up in Compton, California, has been vocal about issues affecting his community throughout his career. It is unclear at this time if the rapper’s claims have any merit or if there are any specific developments that he is referring to.
The fast-moving wildfires in LA have already caused widespread damage and displaced thousands of people. Many celebrities, including Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift, have been sharing updates and offering support to those affected by the disaster.
Staples’ comments come as a stark reminder of the long-term effects that disasters like these can have on marginalized communities.
