    I didn’t expect Jay-Z to get roped into this. But he’s a big time musician and they seem to have felt like they can get away with raping teenage groupies for many decades now.

      Makes me wonder how BIG would fit into all of this if he was still alive. I’m thinking it wouldn’t be good for him either.

      Well, when you’re young, high, and have girls jumping all over you naked… carding each one is probably not your first thought. And it’s not like this was a back alley at gun point.

      Who allowed them into the MTV Video Music Awards after-party? Where are the parents?

        Lol this is the hill you’re going to die on? You can put any 13 year old in front of me and I’ll immediately know it’s a child, you know, because they are children.

        This is not a good look.

        I think the difference between a 13 year old and an 18 year old is generally pretty obvious and if you can’t tell then don’t even risk it.

        I’m sorry… are you saying it’s not their fault that they raped teenagers because it didn’t occur to them to ask them their age?

        Despite a history of music stars raping teenagers going back to at least Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis in the 1950s?

        What absolute nonsense.
