394. Bad Bunny & Bruce Springsteen vs. Nicki Minaj & Nelly. A reflection on artists & activism today

All Episodes

February 5, 2026 • 10 mins

Bad Bunny & Bruce Springsteen have shown that there is a clear path to be successful as an artist who speaks about social justice issues. Why are artists scared to do that today? Why are people either being silent or running towards Trump & MAGA? Bad Bunny is the number one artist in the world and is only about a decade in the game. Springsteen has been doing this for over 50 years. It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from. These artists today are betraying us and we should continue to support artists who are using their platform to speak truth power as opposed to sniveling to get close to power. Now is the time!
