Trey Songz took aim at Kanye West for being \"in the way of progress\" after the rapper shared his controversial views on revered anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman.<\/p>\n
During his first presidential rally in Charleston, South Carolina on Sunday, Kanye claimed former slave Tubman, who fled a plantation before returning 19 times to assist at least 70 others, did not free slaves, insisting, \"She just had them work for other white people!\"<\/p>\n
Sharing a clip from the rally on his Instagram page, which features a woman saying, \"Yo, we're leaving right now,\" following the slave comments, Trey wrote: \"They been sayin man Trey need to call these n****s before he just put em online blastin.<\/p>\n
\"Ye you in the way of progress foreal (sic), how you turn this goofy from who you were? Im so confused, whoever got his number need to call him.\"<\/p>\n
Trey was one of many of Kanye's musical peers to slam the star, with rapper Q-Tip also weighing in by simply posted an image of Tubman along with the caption #Hero, while Noname didn't hold back and tweeted: KEEP HARRIET TUBMAN NAME OUT YOUR F**KING MOUTH!!!!!!!<\/p>\n
Taking to Twitter, fans slammed the rapper-turned-politician, who suffers from bipolar disorder, with The View co-host Meghan McCain writing: \"Kanye West needs serious help, not media coverage.\"<\/p>\n
Kanye has yet to respond to his critics on Twitter - however, he did share two sketches of the White House, with the worlds \"Vision\" and \"The West Wing\", alongside the hashtag \"2020VISION\".<\/p>\n
