Except now they are putting him on the biggest pedestal that exists via Streisand effect.

Almost every single new genre of music from hip hop, rock and roll, country etc. went through a stage of condemnation by the previous generation that didn't approve of it before being finally accepted.

Just history repeating itself.

Up to a few decades ago your comment could be referencing a black/gay person instead and no one would bat an eye.

I don't think it has anything to do with the genre or content of his music (which is far from unique), but rather the fact that he's still technically serving a custodial sentence and apparently shot a video violating multiple public health and safety guidelines. I think it's legal for him to engage in commercial activity, but the federal government will probably take most of his profits until his sentence is complete.
