﷽

Welcome to Episode Thirteen of the Middle Ground Podcast. In this episode brother Dawud Aleman (GBLevate) and myself discuss the phenomenal of the psy-op better known as celebrity culture. We ask questions such as “why is Taylor Swift everywhere?” and “why do they want us to pay so much attention to her?”As usual, we discuss all topics in light of the Qur’ān and statements from the Prophet, ‎ﷺ.
