While some music lovers may have been wondering why more artists haven’t joined Stevie Wonder’s boycott of Florida, Lil Mo explained why she won’t be participating in that protest.
“Ever since the verdict, a certain artist is boycotting the state of Florida. The fans don’t deserve to be deserted,” Mo wrote via Twitter on Friday.
The legendary Stevie Wonder, who played a part in the Civil Rights Movement, was the first to announce that he’d not return to perform in Florida until the Stand Your Ground laws in the state were repealed. The laws have come under a lot of scrutiny following the George Zimmerman shooting which left an unarmed Black teen dead. George was found “not guilty.”
Mo didn’t just discourage other artists from joining in the boycott, she seemingly questioned Stevie’s resolve and whether he’d change his mind if offered enough money to perform there.
