Live battle rap as an industry is fucked up. They low key condone this type of shit, whether it's the use of ghostwriters or biting from internet forums. It's too much about money these days and that is veering them away from the culture. Battlers like Bonnie make leagues like KOTD money because they draw crowds and views, so KOTD has a commercial interest in protecting them from stuff like this. I won't be surprised if she still gets booked for another battle until her opponents start using it in personals and she can't win any more. But for the most part, they don't care as much as we do because they're not as true to the culture.
