I mean he wouldn’t be cancelled if his fan base wasn’t majority of the people he offended. If others supported him just as much he would still be where he was or even bigger by now. No one has ever cared about black women on a global scale enough to stop supporting anything that may harm them so they won’t not listen to his music because he said something about them, he seems cancelled because that was majority of his fan base.

Caesar was a new artist with a very niche fanbase.

His "cancellation" was successful because Daniel offended his core listeners, black women at the time. Daniel really undermines how important it is for an artist to have that core, loyal audience. Black fans are really important to a black artist career, as they are first supporters to these black artists. I think Brent faiyaz benefitted from his downfall, as he skyrocketed in fame with his album Fuck The World.

I won’t lie, that incident definitely affected how I seen Daniel as a person. He kind of became one of those artist where I had to tell my self to separate the Artist from the Art. I was heavily invested in his career for the longest because of the beauty of his music. However, when I heard what he said, as a black woman, it made me think, Why would I support something that doesn’t support me? I never stopped listening to his music granted if it came on the radio or if my music was on shuffle and one of his songs were in the mix. But I noticed I stopped searching for his music and when I would hear his music that’s all I would think about. Truthfully, I’m not apart of this whole cancel culture thing but for me personally I’ve always been one to believe when people are under the influence their truth comes out. And as much as it makes me happy to watch this video and that he is still moving along (as I don’t wish anything to hurt his career) I don’t think I’ll ever see him the same.

This is why we say “Black people are not a monolith.” He’s first gen Canadian, Black Jamaican immigrant parents… despite his music appealing to, and being inspired by Black American people, he didn’t understand the Black American experience. The Black experience varies place to place. African Americans have different experiences than Nigerians have different experiences than Black Brits have different experiences than South Africans have different experiences than Black Cubans have different experiences from Jamaicans and so on. Ofc, there’s genetic and cultural overlap. We have shared roots but we are not all the same. We all have to try to be empathetic and work to educate ourselves. Too many people outside of the African American community like to police us and tell us how we should feel. No one has the right to tell someone from a community they aren’t a part of, certainly if you are not educated on the group, how they should react towards oppression and bigotry. That’s the mistake he made. The public’s mistake was assuming a first Gen Jamaican Canadian kid from the suburbs fully understood the African American community, its struggles and it history. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I didn’t like him for years because he said what he said in a time when Black men were constantly degrading Black women and just wreaking of internalized racism and it turned me off but I’m glad I saw this video and learned of his redemption.

[@Kevinschart]

Didn't know he was cancelled, but then again I rarely hear his name mentioned anymore. I was driving with my mom for about an hour and had Daniel playing. Turned her into a fan. Dudes music is perfect

[@mochalily3735]

After that whole controversy I completely checked out on him 🤷🏾‍♀️. Didn’t even know about the apology with Nadeska. This is a SIGNIFICANTLY better apology than the last one lol. It definitely seems like he’s grown and hopefully he means it. I 100% agree that his cancellation left space for other artists to bloom. I haven’t felt like I missed his music because I found artists like Giveon and 6lack and pink$weats, so I never felt the need to keep up with him or seek out his music. Very interesting video and definitely gave me a different perspective. Maybe I’ll peek in on him and see what he’s up to.

[@deej9]

Same, it hurt so bad when he did that. It’s like waiting to see someone win so much, wanting someone to see that talent and then POOF. He was a breathe of fresh air

[@Kaaaman]

Why do you reckon people are okay with supporting Giveon after what he did but not Daniel? He's apologised for his behaviour and seemingly grown. However, from what I've seen, people have criticised him to a larger extent compared to Giveon. Giveon has been allowed to flourish but this thing Daniel did seems to follow him around. Do you think you'd be able to support/respect him again? This video defs showed a different perspective.

[@mochalily3735]

@@Kaaaman What did Giveon do? I haven’t heard of him being in any controversy.

[@mochalily3735]

@@Kaaaman If you watched the video, you should understand why Daniel was so heavily criticized. Not only did he disrespect and disregard the experiences of his own community, he literally TOLD the community to cancel him over his need to protect a woman who had been nothing but disrespectful to his core fanbase. He went as far as to call the oppressors “the winning team” 🤦🏾‍♀️ He dared the community to cancel him and then got upset when the community canceled him. The only thing I found on Giveon is that he cheated on his girlfriend. As far as I know he didn’t insult the community or support a white woman using a racial slur. He also didn’t give some bs apology where he took no accountability. It’s not comparable.

[@Kaaaman]

I'm exhausted of these ideologies that foreign blacks don't understand American racism. It's the same racism and open bigotry there😂 racist ideology is not something specific to the U.S., and black Americans offer so much “grace” that it gets ridiculously nauseating. Daniel is NOTHERN American, and he was trying to protect a racist because he found her attractive and thought she would appreciate his effort- she didn't care (a lot of us have male family members exactly like him.) He couldn't even say what he was wrong about, nor did he have a response about him ostracizing his core audience- black women. We are susceptible people that are fine with the bare minimum. like, all you can say is “perfect storm” were doomed for infinity🎭 Anyway good video

[@katgreer6113]

No but as a "foreign" black person I barely understood what racism was till I came to america. In Africa, everyone is black. I was well aware of colorism but I didn't know it could go as far as hating a whole different race. I'm just saying this from my experience. So no, its not exactly the same. Daniel had no excuse though seeing as he's from Canada.

[@M-atk]

Can't handle the truth, only twelve percent of blacks but they spend more money than the majority population! You are not special because you are black, GOD chose what color you will be before you was born, this generation lives off of the older generations sacrifices and claim its so hard and racist for them, and think that they can cancel an entire artist that other races that have the majority loves! I bet he could care less, I would. Black people can't save my soul or give me every lasting life! They are not or will ever be God, Go read about Ham and see about the history of blacks. You will see how "perfect" you think you are, I am black and saying this! Only GOD can cancel, he still has his life? He isn't cancelled! Grow up!🤦🏾‍♂️😂

The thing about Daniel’s cancellation is he asked the community to cancel him like there weren’t any other artists deserving of the fame and recognition he has. People make mistakes and I’ll always have space for people who own up to it but for him to double down in that interview… not everyone will forgive that.

[@lowlowseesee]

[@RockFleeStreams]

He also asked people to cancel him like his white fan base was gonna hold his career up. This is what happens when someone who is raised around white people and given “opportunities” by white people forget that white people “support” only runs as deep as the core audience supporting said artist

With more and more black people of foreign extraction gaining popularity making music, films, tv that is from Black American culture or heavily influenced by it, maybe more of them should learn to respect that they aren't of the culture and therefore shouldn't speak on our issues out of respect in the same way many don't appreciate Americans speaking on their issues. It's just having mutual respect for each other's different experiences. Hell, Meek Mill got flamed just for asking South Africans what apps they prefer to listen to music on recently.

Not sure if you're a fan of Bryson Tiller but I'd love a video on him. He may not be the best technical singer but I think he definitely made a mark in ushering in a new way of presenting modern RnB. Using more vocal effects similar to Rappers rather than raw vocals as previous singers before him. I'd love a focus on those vocal effects (since the majority of videos on him already talk about the trap instrumental side of things). I guess a sub topic would also be his relatability and battle with depression and accepting himself for who he is and what he can bring to table. Not sure if there's enough content of him that would warrant a video but I'd definitely would enjoy it 💪🏻💪🏻

i feel like ppl don’t really understand that he WAS cancelled. he basically spit in the face of the ppl who lifted him up, and sure it was hellas ago, and he’s got other fans, but at the end of the day the black folks that were the wind in his sails had no issue dropping him. this man at his peak was going hard, he had all the greats co-signing him, all the radio stations playing his music, selling out venues, breaking streaming records… and after he asked to be cancelled, well i don’t think he’ll ever reach the heights that we all thought he would. he was supposed to be as big if not bigger than Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, etc. Sure he’s still successful but he seriously stunted his growth defending someone who didn’t deserve it. imo he’s still successful because he’s insanely talented.
