Singer, songwriter, and producer October London, signee of Snoop Dog and Jazze Pha’s “Cadillacc Music,” is receiving backlash from his hometown South Bend, Indiana after a public Facebook post on Wednesday, June 26, stated he is fed up.
After friends and fans got a hold of London’s worded discourse on the City of South Bend, including the one named in his Facebook post, ‘Walter West,’ memes and backlash instantly began surfacing social media. London’s post was no longer visible on his Facebook page after that.
South Bend residents barred none when it came to expressing feelings of dissent. One Facebook post in particular read, “Our city might not see eye to eye on a lot of issues, but I know one g** d** thing, disrespect us and we united with the trollin.”
Mentioned friend, Walter West’s response to London’s backlash: “He deserves every bit of this slander.”
Update 12:24 p.m. June 27, 2019
This afternoon October London leaves these closing remarks, “I’m disgusted at how my statement has been dismantled and twisted. I’ve had love for my city my entire life. The internet is powerful.”
