“I hope that later, in the future, there will be a band taking what we did and inverting it, going crazy and putting their own touch on it,” explained Bruno about his and Anderson’s new group, Silk Sonic, “because if they don’t , what is the point of us doing this? “
Bruno admitted that he questioned himself when the accusations first came out in 2018. “At the time, when it kind of popped up on the internet, I was looking at myself in the mirror, like, what I’m not seeing,” he shared. “Do I have this pass that I don’t know? Where can I get this pass? Because I could use some for myself and my friends.”
Charlamagne asked if the accusations of cultural appropriation bothered him, to which he replied: “It comes with the show. And there is real merit in what people are saying about black artists not receiving their flowers, and I am defending that, I am with this. “
“I understand,” he added, “but it’s just Twitter.”
