Essence Fest & The Diaspora Divide | What Really Happened at Essence Fest?
Essence Fest 2025 sparked major backlash—and reignited diaspora tensions online. In this episode, the panel unpacks the outrage, the receipts, and the deep-rooted tensions between African Americans and Africans that resurfaced when Essence Fest featured more African performers and voices than ever before. From critiques by legendary artists to viral TikToks and fiery Twitter threads, we’re breaking down what happened, why people are upset, and what it says about identity, ownership, and unity in the diaspora.
