Justin Beiber is under scrutiny, what about Khalil?

Ok, so we all have had our share of the amazing Justin Beiber and his DUI. To be honest, I'm glad he finally got arrested. This could be the straw that broke the camel's back that could put him into rehab. Just like when Amanda Bynes try to set things on fire, they put her in a mental hospital.

And let's praise the good lord above that he did not hurt anyone.It makes me so angry that his "belibers" are supporting him so much and are not looking at the fact that he broke the law and endangered lives. I understand he may be a little misguided but everyone should take responsibility and own up to their mistakes. That's life and that's how you learn from it.

But enough about my opinions on the Beibs, there was another young gentleman who was also apart of the racing of the Ferraris fiasco. Another guy who was speeding in a residential area. Another person who was charged for driving under the influence. His name is Khalil. He is also 19 years old and an artist signed under Def Jam records.

I know Justin has been around longer, but why aren't we focusing on Khalil as well? He also was busted for a serious crime. Even though he's not as popular, we need to be taking this opportunity to use this as an example of what not to do. Our younger generation needs to know that this is not ok and/or normal.

But then, I wondered why they really didn't say too much about him.And this is just me thinking with my imagination but...

One word: mom.

I think all African-American [males] know that if they were to get into trouble like this, there are 2 things that would happen:

1. The first thing their mom would do is to protect them. "Let me call my lawyer" Mom will somehow hire a PR team and a great attorney to make sure that this, 'goes away.' She would work 3 jobs if she need to all while making him feel guilty and making their child think that she is doing nothing. 
2. The second thing that would happen is... he would get his butt beat. Plain and simple. Momma don't play that and you knew better before you did that! She probably has him on a strict lock down and will make sure that does NOT happen again. She will be with him for every court date to when he goes to bed. 

I could be wrong... or 100% correct. 

But in all honesty, I hope these boys get the help that they need. As you can see, not everyone can handle the entertainment world. They have to have a good foundation and support system to make sure they aren't falling into the negative world of being famous. 

So for now, good job to Khalil for looking like the side kick. Hopefully, you can take care of your issues before spiraling out of control like your good buddy Justin. Things will get better if you're willing to make a change to make them better and actually prosper in the career of singing.
