The previous adage that each one publicity is sweet publicity definitely appears to be paying off for Chris Conde, a queer, Brooklyn-based rapper who began his profession in San Antonio.
Conde was the topic of a July 4 Rolling Stone profile primarily based on how profoundly a video of his efficiency at a Satisfaction occasion in Austria set off proper wingers on the web platform X. The emcee, who as soon as labored as a Present music author, carried out the present as he usually does — wearing little aside from a leather-based harness, a large tattoo studying “Queer” on full show throughout his stomach.
Apparently outraged on the show, MAGA-aligned influencer Juanita Broaddrick shared the video to her million followers final weekend, in accordance with Rolling Stone. “OH. MY. GAWD !!! WTF is This ?!” she tweeted, barely capable of include her disgust.
The end result?
Conde’s efficiency video pulled in some 21 million views, in accordance with Rolling Stone. Naturally, the Trumpkins fired off homophobic and physique shaming tweets. A few of these got here from different MAGA figures with huge on-line followings, together with right-wing NFL participant Antonio Brown, who joked that the clip was of former Philadelphia Eagles participant Jason Kelce “performing in Philly yesterday.”
However anyone even passingly acquainted with the leisure trade hype machine understands that sheer degree of on-line publicity will even pull in a lot of new followers. Which is precisely what occurred to Conde.
“Shit, I want I may spit bars like that!” Kelce replied to Brown’s taunt. Yvie Oddly, Season 11 winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, expressed curiosity in a “musical collab” with the rapper. In the meantime, usually risk-averse Rolling Stone praised Conde’s movement as “mesmerizing” and shared a video for his latest monitor “C.O.M.B.” — which stands for “cum on my beard,” in case you puzzled.
Seems just like the right-wing outrage machine has struck once more. And inadvertently launched an queer rapper’s profession to new heights. Method to go!
