Gronk Sydney Rapper Spanian Has Been Dropped By His ... (Pedestrian TV)

Western Sydney rapper and internet personality Spanian has been dropped by his management One Day after posting a homophobic rant.

Although the video has been taken off both TikTok and Instagram, Spanian claimed that the video was still available to watch on Facebook. “Spanian’s commentary on these issues in no way reflect our values as a company and as individuals. We have been deeply upset by Spanian’s actions over the past three days and we acknowledge the harm caused by his Instagram video.” On a weekend that was meant to be about love, inclusion, self-worth, and pride, it was bloody disappointing to see Spanian’s rant. Equally disappointing to see those from our music community like and comment in support of it. The shit Spanian is spouting in his latest video is the most violent, hateful and dangerous rhetoric you can get.
