Singer Res Says Talib Kweli Is Withholding Her Music After She Declined His Sexual Advances
by Site Manager
(Updated: June 3rd) R&B singer Res is currently taking shots at Talib Kweli, claiming the Brooklyn rapper has been withholding her music because she turned down his sexual advances. Unfortunately, this sort of sexual harassment is something we’re seeing a lot more these days for celebrities, whether it’s in the music industry or the movie industry. However, it’s not just something that celebrities experience.
Sexual harassment is also something that a lot of people will experience in their job roles every day. It can happen in large corporations or the smallest businesses. Those in power are able to overpower employees by threatening them with losing their job, or in Res’ case, withholding her own music. By doing this, those people assume they have the upper hand. However, with the help of a sexual harassment lawyer, these people do not have to suffer anymore. They can find legal help to ensure that they can not be pressured in that way.
In the music industry, this happens often. Res is the latest artist to fall victim to sexual harassment. As she has denied Talib Kweli’s sexual advances, he has taken her music away from her. As her music is her livelihood, it’s important she engages with a lawyer soon to try and resolve this issue.
Res unleashed a series of allegations against Kweli on her Twitter account. This is a great example for those people who may be too quiet to speak up about their experiences. By having an artist like Res shining a light on sexual harassment, many more people might feel comfortable sharing their experiences and calling out their harassers. It’s so important that the world starts making these sorts of steps. Workplaces should be relaxing and inviting places where employees don’t have to worry about sexual harassment.
