@LennyKravitz I always thought you didn\u2019t attend those shows because that was not your thing. I was disgusted when I read you were never invited. Let\u2019s get on one accord people \u2764\ufe0f\u200d\ud83e\ude79

@LennyKravitz I 100 % agree. \nWe must not lose the roots of rock and roll music, by exclusion of one genre, that may not fit the more mainstream,\u201cR&B or HipHop\u201d genres seen as Black Music. \nI\u2019m from Louisiana, where Jazz, Blues, and Rock roots are in the African American diaspora\u2019s genesis.

@LennyKravitz The lack of recognition of Black musicians in the history of rock music is unacceptable. How many Led Zeppelin fans know who Willie Dixon, Memphis Minnie, or Kansas Joe McCoy are?\n\nKeep shining that light on it, Lenny.

@LennyKravitz Well said! Rock on Forever! Some people want to interpret things to try to make you look bad. That's on them. Fan from the beginning! You deserve all your flowers!

@LennyKravitz Those of us in the Black Community who have consistently purchased your albums and supported your work were not offended. We, too, question why we haven't seen your talents showcased in black award spaces. We've always loved you and we shall continue, regardless of the accolades.

@LennyKravitz Lenny, I\u2019d read the article and your intention seemed quite clear and understandable. I firmly believe some people \u201cfaux misinterpret\u201d information to create a self-serving narrative. You have been honest and non problematic as far as this fan sees. Rock on \ud83e\udd18\ud83c\udffe
