Boycott Target song
A group of rappers released a music video titled “Boycott Target” on Friday showing the men rapping in a Target store while going through the aisles. At several points in the video, different members of the group can be seen holding up products for sale at the store, including children’s books and bottles with a rainbow theme, the symbol of the LGBT movement.
The men behind the video, Forgiato Blow, Jimmy Levy, Nick Nittoli and Stoney Dudebro, rap about the retail chain targeting children.

“There’s a cleanup on every aisle/ Target is targetin’ your kids,” the group sings in the video. “This agenda’s gotta stop/ they know we gonna win.”
“Target, Target, yeah they targetin’/ Target, Target, yeah they target kids,” the lyrics continue, adding that the LGBT agenda is going “too far.”
On Monday, Forgiato shared on Twitter that the song was No. 2 on the iTunes charts, and he asked his followers to help it reach No. 1.
As The Christian Post previously reported, Target faced backlash after unveiling an assortment of LGBT-themed products ahead of June, which LGBT activists call "Pride month."
In addition to “tuck-friendly” swimsuits for men who identify as women, the retail chain sold two products designed by the brand Abprallen. The two items were a messenger bag that reads “Too Queer for Here” and a sweatshirt that reads “Cure transphobia, not trans people.” The brand, Abprallen, is known for creating products with satanic imagery.
