New York Mayor Eric Adams says he wants to ban Drill music videos from social media after several Drill rappers were shot and killed.
“I had no idea what drill rapping was, but I called my son and he sent me some videos and it is alarming,” Adams said at a news conference. “We are going to pull together the social media companies and sit down with them and state that ‘you have a civic and corporate responsibility.'”
He continued, “We pulled Trump off Twitter because of what he was spewing. Yet, we are allowing music, displaying of guns, violence. We are allowing it to stay on these sites, because look at the victims. We are bringing them in, we are going to show exactly what is being displayed and we are alarmed by it. We are alarmed by the use of social media to really over proliferate this violence in communities.”
This month, Hot 97’s DJ Dre said he would no longer play music diss tracks or anything gang-related.
Is Drill to blame for the violence?

An unruly passenger on a flight bound from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., tried to open the door of the aircraft on Sunday, causing the plane to divert to Kansas City, Mo.
The passenger, who also tried to rush the cockpit, attempted to open the forward passenger door before a flight attendant used a coffeepot to subdue the individual, according to a spokesperson for the Association of Professional Flight Attendants.
“It felt like the plane was free falling and many feared the worst because people weren’t fully aware of what was unfolding,” tweeted a passenger on the flight, who described the unruly passenger as a middle-aged man. The flight attendant reportedly struck the man multiple times with the coffeepot while passengers restrained him.
American Airlines confirmed that the flight was diverted “due to an unruly passenger displaying erratic behavior, who was ultimately subdued by our crew and with the help of other passengers. The flight landed safely at Kansas City International Airport, and law enforcement met the flight on arrival.” The airline thanked the flight crew and the passengers who helped the crew.
A man who appears to be the flight’s pilot told a passenger that the individual had tried to open the plane’s door and the cockpit door.
The FBI says the individual has been taken into custody.
A flight radar tracker shows the flight made a swift and sudden turn to land at the Kansas City airport on Sunday afternoon. The flight, American Airlines 1775, had departed Los Angeles in the morning.
The Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) called for such violent behavior to stop. “APFA will continue to collaborate with other Flight Attendant and Customer Service Agent Unions, the Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration, and Congress to ensure these offenders are prosecuted to the full extent of the law with appropriate fines, criminal penalties, and applicable flying bans,” it said in a statement.
A survey last summer by the Association of Flight Attendants showed that 85% of attendants had dealt with unruly passengers in 2021 and that nearly 1 in 5 had experienced physical incidents.
