There is a lot of conflicting information circulating about a Danny Brown/Kitty Pryde concert that took place in Minneapolis last Friday. One thing seems to be clear: at some point while Brown was performing, a female audience member reached up from the front row, pulled down the Detroit rapper’s pants, and began to perform oral sex on him. Kitty Pryde is not very happy about this.
In a long post for the Vice blog Noisey, Pryde has attempted to dissect the incident, which she and the other people on the tour have taken to calling “The Thing.” The Thing has already spawned threads on Reddit (from an audience member who says he found the whole thing scary) and lots of discussion on Twitter (Kendrick Lamar offered Brown his incredulous congratulations) and on various music blogs
Pryde doesn’t think anyone should be applauding:
I’m mad that a person thought it was okay to pull another person’s pants down during their performance in front of about 700 other people. I’m mad that a person thought it was a good idea to perform a sex act on another person without their consent. I’m mad that nobody made her leave. I’m mad that Danny had to actually wonder what he was supposed to do at that point. I’m mad that when I went home and said I had no respect for that girl, I was attacked for being a “slut-shamer”…and, even more outrageously, for being jealous of the girl who sucked his dick. I’m mad that when two dudes pulled my pants down onstage, other people got mad too, but when it happened to Danny the initial reaction was like one big high-five. I’m mad that people are treating “The Thing” like it’s some legendary event.
Kitty Pryde? Rappers should stop stealing names from cartoon characters I watch on Netflix, and hookers should stop stealing names from successful real estate agents.
