Netizens react to The Kiffness losing a campaign

Shortly after he shared on social media that he had lost the campaign after he defended the slain American conservative activist, many netizens flooded the comment section with their reactions. Here's what they had to say below:

@ryanam26 said:

"Perhaps now you can focus on the music, rather than the political and religious nonsense. You are adding to the divide. Let people be and just spread positivity; it's a lot more effective."

@djsox wrote:

"Also - just so we understand, is their client's position that assassinating someone with opposing views is ok?"

@WizZifnab commented:

"Why are you hiding their name? They should be willing to stand behind these values they are referring to, right? As those values seem to be disassociated with someone who shows sympathy for someone who was murdered, I think there are a lot of others who would benefit from knowing, as they have conflicting values."

@Akira__Kanazawa mentioned:

"I was a fan of yours before I knew of your political beliefs. Now that I know you're based, I'm an even bigger fan. Hang in there pal, bigger and better opportunities will present themselves."

@MemeStudier shared:

"I'm concerned that you were ever sponsored by a brand that looks fondly on the murder of Charlie Kirk. I wish you would tell us the brand so that we could avoid it."

@haveaskippyday tweeted:

"Wow. I’m so sorry. That’s incredibly sad- the state of our world. You know what would be cool? If @KidRock or some other artists could join forces with you- somebody you like, who could back you up."
