Blood Orange on Being Removed From Guardian Cover: “Sorry I Don't Fall Into Your Perception of a Black Lives Matter Story”

Blood Orange on Being Removed From Guardian Cover: “Sorry I Don't Fall Into Your Perception of a Black Lives Matter Story”

Today, Dev Hynes (of Blood Orange) said he was taken off the cover of the upcoming The Guardian Guide (a supplemental magazine that comes with the weekend edition of The Guardian) because he was “reluctant to talk about topics they hoped I would expand on.” He elaborated, writing: “sorry I don't fall into your perception of a Black Lives Matter story or give u weird gossip but I am who I am & my music speaks for itself.” Later, he shared a photo of correspondence indicating he was replaced with a story on Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” (In fact, the cover is a story on BBC sitcom “People Just Do Nothing.”) Find his tweets below. 

Previously, Hynes had promised to never speak to the magazine after they published an article in 2013 concerning the loss of his New York apartment in a fire. “This was me giving them a second chance...” he wrote, before telling them “goodbye.” (He did, however, say that the interviewer was “lovely.”)
