Lethal Bizzle calls on Kanye West to visit slave castle in Ghana after disgraceful slave trade comments
Lethal Bizzle has called on Kanye West to visit the slave castles in Ghana first hand after making his horrendous statement that slavery was a choice.
After having visited a slave castle himself last year, Lethal Bizzle has called on the rapper to educate himself.
There are 40 castles in Ghana, built by European traders, where slaves were held in appalling conditions before shipped across the Atlantic. They were known as the gate of no return, the last place before the slaves were put on ships sailing to the Americas and the Caribbean.
The stuff hes saying about the slavery thing, that was disgraceful, Bizzle told Metro.co.uk. I know he has an African background, but I was literally in Ghana last year and I went to one of the biggest slave castles in the slave trade time, and just hearing the stories of how it was orchestrated and how everything was put together was harrowing.

Then to hear Kanye say it was a choice, its common sense to know something like that is not a choice.
He added that Kanye needs to do his research before being so outspoken, suggesting he should visit the places and see it for himself.
He needs to go away. He needs to read books, he doesnt and thats evident now, Lethal said. If he doesnt want to read books he needs to travel, go there, do the research, speak to the people who have been studying this and know what theyre talking about.
Speaking of his experience there, he said: When I walked in the castle the energy was poisonous. You feel the pain, you feel the suffering, you feel everything that was going on in there. You saw the dungeons. They tell the stories of what happened to people misbehaving. It was horrible.
So it really disappointed me when Kanye came out with that because Im a big Kanye fan, I still listen, but that statement was whoa. You are really not on planet Earth.”
Lethal, whos teamed up with app mysnapp which allows fans to buy fashion from music videos – like his no phone calls, just text tee in the video for Flex, added that Kanyes fashion sense needs some work too. And he blamed the Kardashians for that one.
The old Kanye [fashion] was sensational. The new Kanye reminds me of Lethal Bizzle in my 2004 videos, he said. Throwbacks are cool, retro is cool and coming back, bumbags, tracksuits. I dont know man, Kanye is all over the place at the moment. I need to tell him to go back to old Kanye. He was a genius. Musically he still is a genius.
The Kardashians are messing with his brain.

He added that he needs to consider the people around him: Hes so in his own world that no one can say anything to him. I think his recent outbursts prove he needs to go back to zero and start again. Go back to that place in his mind when things were going well and he was happy.
Speaking of collaborating with mysnapp, he said: They approached me with the idea and I thought it was genius. I get loads of exclusive pieces for videos so its good for fans to have engagement for where they can find the clothes
Its really clever, I wish Id come up with it.
