Yet the more we pour into men, the more entitled they become.”\n--\nKelela will be at the Showbox on Tuesday, September 8th!\nTickets: https://go.seated.com/tour-events/031a34c8-ca1f-49ce-a75b-e61afdbee345?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kelela.co%2F","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
