Why Hip-hop is still struggling to have its 'MeToo' moment
Hollywood's 'MeToo' movement began nearly a decade ago - is it time hip-hop had one of its own?
The multimillionaire music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs was found guilty last week of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of the more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
But now, campaigners, survivors of sexual violence and insiders within the music industry are asking why did it take so long to hold him accountable?
And, in light of Hollywood's MeToo movement that uncovered and helped root out sexual harassment and abuse in the film industry, and which began nearly a decade ago - is it now time that the music industry, or more specifically, hip-hop, had a MeToo movement of its own?
