Not by the supposed premise.
Yes, of course violence and homophobia is wrong and shouldn't be celebrated in music lyrics.
But, to pretend like the murder of Nip has anything to do with either of those is absurd and an extremely far reach. He links to his own article, pretending the topics go together in common discourse.

It is dishonest the way he predatorily uses the tragedy as his vehicle to call-out 'Toxic Masculinity', among Black men very specifically.
Waving a brush of hatred like, "The LGBTQ community is all too familiar with the violent side of black masculinity" supporting it not with facts and stats, but a single violent anecdote, to support his false claim.

He then goes on, "The past 12 months have provided numerous examples of the fragility of black masculinity." citing Ed Buck and Terry Crews, after mentioning Kevin Hart's Oscar dismissal over a 10 year old joke?
Crews was sexually assaulted by a white man.
Two Black men were found dead in WHITE Ed Buck's house...& he's never even been arrested, while the black man he uses in the violent example earlier in the article--who poured boiling water on a gay couple--was sentenced to 40 years in jail, and those men are both alive with no physical permanent damage.

Damn this editorial, and the opportunistic (his twitter shows he's selling a book all about the topic) con-man who wrote it.
