Trae Tha Truth is just one of several artists who are mourning over the 19 children and two teachers who were killed in the mass shooting. In the days following the tragedy, Texas artists like Bun B, Megan Thee Stallion and Scarface have expressed their sorrow for the victims and voiced their opinions about what needs to be done to prevent tragedies like the incident in Uvalde. Scarface took it a step further by calling out Senator Ted Cruz for speaking at a NRA convention just days after the shooting.
