Willie Delgado Important Facts
- Supported community activist/radio talk show host Ada J. Edwards for her candidacy for Houston City Council District D (2001). Ada Edwards’ victory was the second time that a progressive candidate has been elected to the Houston City Council.
- Used to have a radio talk show called “Reality Check”, which aired from late 1995 to October 1997. Since the mid-2000s, he is a contributor to a column (Ask Willie D) with the Houston Press.
- In 1984, Willie and Ronald Hope, his childhood friend, robbed a Texaco gas station, and both men were convicted of aggravated robbery in 1985. Willie was sentenced to six months in the Harris County Jail, and after the jail sentence, Willie turned his life around after James A. Prince decided to sign another solo artist for Rap-A-Lot Records. Willie’s debut album, Controversy, would open a few doors for other Southern hip-hop artists, as well as ushering in the second incarnation of the Geto Boys. In real life, Willie D did return back to North Forest High School after his jail sentence but was expelled prior to graduation for fighting.
- Created a lot of controversy in 1992 with the song “Rodney K”; in the song, Rodney King is killed, after the song ends. Willie D stated that the song was directed at African Americans that would ‘sell-out’ and assimiliate with the dominant majority. Willie D recorded and released another controversial rap song “Coon” in March 2016 where he has stated in interviews that a ‘Coon’ is usually an African American who sell out their own race for acceptance with another race – in the song he attacked former NBA basketball player Charles Barkley where he sided with the grand jury decision not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for the shooting of Michael Brown, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (who is African American and made a statement on CNN where he stated that ‘there is no police brutality in America which was ended in the 1960s’ and called President Barack Obama a nightmare in the White House), and actress Stacey Dash (who has made rancid comments against the BET (Black Entertainment Television) network claiming that BET has kept racism and segregation alive – she went on FOX News back in February 2016 in the wake of the Oscars boycott where several prominent African Americans consider her a race traitor).
