Rap Genius Co-Founder Moghadam Fired Over Tasteless Comments on Santa Barbara Shooting
Source: Re/code
Rap Genius co-founder Mahbod Moghadam has been fired from the annotation service after posting appalling comments on the memoir of mass murderer Elliot Rodger, who killed six people in a shooting spree earlier this week.
In now-removed annotations on the site on the sick 141-page manifesto, Moghadam added a tasteless series of comments, including “beautifully written” and also “MY GUESS: his sister is smokin hot.”
... In a statement, Rap Genius co-founder and CEO Tom Lehman said Moghadam had resigned.
... Thankfully, sources close to the situation said he was actually asked to leave the company, including pressure from investors. It’s definitely a bridge too far — the entire group of founders has already wallowed into a number of controversial issues, calling attention more to their idiotic hijinks than to their business.
