- An ongoing dispute has forced Twitter to ban Talib Kweli.
- Kweli has been sending repeated messages to a user named Maya Moody. Moody tweeted about many rappers being married to only light-complexioned Black women. One of those rappers included Kweli. He responded that this isn't the conversation we needed to be having and continued to pepper her with comments daily for a few weeks.
- Twitter says Kweli's constant response was a violation of rules involving harassment.
- Kweli told Jezebel, "I’ve never cyber harassed anyone in my life. I responded, on Twitter, to the lies that Maya posted about me. When you respond to someone who posts lies about you, that is not harassment.” Kweli has moved from Twitter to Patreon.
