Michael Rubin faced backlash after making comments about hate within the Black community during an interview with The Breakfast Club. He criticized what he referred to as 'Black hate on hate' while defending Meek Mill against derogatory remarks regarding his sexuality. Following the negative response, including criticism from rapper ScHoolboy Q, Rubin issued an apology on X, acknowledging that it was not his place to speak on Black culture. He expressed gratitude for the feedback and emphasized his intention was to promote uplifting one another and reducing negativity. Despite his strong positions, Rubin admitted to not being the best messenger due to his race and wealth. This incident highlights the complexities of discussing cultural issues from an outsider's perspective.
