Davido, T.I., Chris Brown, Cardi B And More Share Their Horror At The Slave Trade In Libya

Celebrities voiced their shock, dismay and demands about the modern day slave trade happening in Libya.

After a recent report on CNN featuring footage of young men being sold into slavery in Libya a number of prominent rappers and singers have taken to Twitter to decry the shocking story about the modern slave trade seemingly taking place in the open in the nation that has fallen into chaos since a civil war erupted more than seven years ago.

One of the most vocal was T.I., who posted a series of outraged tweets on Monday night (Nov. 27) in which he urged his followers to repost the images and video to raise awareness of the situation. "This is PURE EVIL!!!!! I'm LIVID!!!! Satin is BUSY as a muuufucka," Tip wrote. "Spiritual Warfare in full effect.What side u on? Fight Back... Repost!!!! For more info just google "slave trade in Libya."

So... I'm wondering if Khadafi was such a horrible dictator why wasn't this happening when HE WAS in power? One has no choice but to conclude his absence made this possible. pic.twitter.com/IBsJCbdQJ8 — T.I. (@Tip) November 28, 2017

Absolutely no words.

Bringing awareness to this atrocity is

THE ABSOLUTE LEAST we can do.

I'm truly disgusted by the thought of this being possible in this day & age. It's repulsive!!! Don't let this ride.... repost. Kill Your Masters!!!! - @KillerMike voice pic.twitter.com/Ftm3lsJEcX — T.I. (@Tip) November 28, 2017

LL Cool J also weighed in, urging Western leaders to step in and remove the slave traders since "the west used Military force to help the rebels remove [former Libyan dictator Muammar] Gaddafi" in 2011 following a NATO bombing campaign.

The slave trade in Libya must be stopped. The west used Military force to help the rebels remove Gaddafi. I believe that gives the West the moral obligation to get this country back on a healthy footing. Remove the slave holders by force and help establish a stable leadership — LLCOOLJ.

Pharrell Williams, Jill Scott, Questlove and Faith Evans also urged action to stop the disturbing situation.

Unbelievable. I pray for things to be made right and just. I pray for all to be turned upside right. I pray for freedom for all and that God softens the hearts of the oppressor and all who have power to change this but choose to standby. I pray for the wherewithal and the wisdom to discern the next move to make when an autrocity such as this is being committed. A post shared by mclyte (@mclyte) on Nov 27, 2017 at 9:45pm PST
