Who is to blame in the case of Trick Daddy vs. Alpha Kappa Alpha?

Whoever thought it was a great idea to bring self-suggested “thug” Trick Daddy to an Alpha Kappa Alpha event should’ve known better.

The rap artist issued out expletives that would make even the hardest rhymer blush. This all happened before an audience of distinguished sorors.

The contract is what is most important. If it stipulated the proper conduct of the “Amerika” rapper and that he was supposed to refrain from using profanity, then it’s his fault for breaking the rules. That was why his set was shut down in the first place.

Trick’s penchant for using foul language in a room full of educated women had been put on full display during the concert. His ability to stoke the coals and cause controversy only worsened when he lashed out claiming there was no contract and the organizers knew what they were in for during the performance.

If anything, it has to come down to the legally binding document that should show culpability against Trick Daddy. With the era of political correctness at times similar to thirty years ago, it is quite interesting to see the way that words can be weapons in these cases.

Of all the words Trick spewed, shouldn’t the women who put together the show had known about Trick’s language? They’re partially at fault even if they would most likely win in a court of law. What Trick Daddy had to offer included the best raps of his life.

A Florida legend, he brings to the table rough and raw soundscapes that resonate with a hip hop base used to explicit lyrics and often disturbing imagery.

The AKA sorority is renowned for being sedate and extremely highly regarded young women, almost regal. Mixing that audience was like mixing tea sandwiches with hot sauce. He definitely should have read the room and known the assignment before going off at the mouth shouting obscenity after obscenity.

Instead, he referenced the female genitalia in slangy language and continued to perform until organizers shut down his show. That provoked Trick Daddy to become irate, stating that those ladies knew what was about to go down before he even stepped on the stage.

For the AKAs to be upset is understandable. They wished to see a performance that uplifted the soul and engaged the mind. While Trick can certainly accomplish this feat, he chose a setlist chockfull of naughty words.

Surprise, surprise. Trick Daddy should be backed by his lawyers and be prepared to be taken to court for violating an alleged contract. If the AKAs have a problem, they can just cite the agreement and take it to that level.

It shouldn’t get to that point but there is always litigation afoot in these United States of America. To consider the impact hip hop has played on the culture, the AKAs should have thought more Will Smith than 2 Live Crew, the latter also being from Florida.

That’s the power of knowledge. To recognize reality and bring into focus something that may be taken as an insult should be checked out far in advance.

What Trick Daddy did consisted of expressing his First Amendment rights. He, however, was shut down because the private event warranted individuals to decide on whatever music was appropriate for the venue.

This is the truth behind any kind of contractual agreement, allegedly, here. It has not been proven whether such an agreement even exists, again. But the spiritual contract of a gentleman’s agreement on behalf of Trick Daddy should have been established.

For future events, the AKAs should screen performers and Trick Daddy ought to realize to whom he is about to perform.
