Israeli warplanes are currently bombing the Gaza Strip after Hamas soldiers entered into Israel and killed over a thousand people, many of them women and children.
DJ Vlad thinks Drake and DJ Khaled should speak up about the conflict.

"Has anyone noticed that the most famous Jewish person on Earth, Drake, and the most famous Palestinian person on Earth, DJ Khaled, haven't said a single thing about the Gaza-Israel conflict? It's not like Drake is too busy. He's been writing paragraphs about Joe Budden hurting his feelings about his new album. DJ Khaled has been working overtime promoting his new Jordan sneakers. But both of them have been silent on this topic. Why is that? It's because both are so thirsty to maintain their relevance that they wouldn't dare risk insulting a segment of their fanbase. Heaven forbid that Drake might debut at #2 behind Taylor Swift because some of his Palestinian fans chose to not stream his album. And it would be the end of the world if Khaled sold a few less sneakers because some Jewish people decided not to buy his Jordans. That's the difference between artists of today and timeless legends like 2Pac. You know damn well Pac would be the first one to speak out about something so close to home."
Putting aside the fact that Drake is nowhere near the most famous Jewish person on earth (and isn't really competing with Taylor Swift on the charts anymore), what do you think of Vlad's words?
Some would say it's better when celebrities don't speak up about everything.
