Yes because most of them sing in church but make 🎶 outside of church.

Is OP a threadician?
Beethoven/Classical? Jazz?
Lol I get the racial undertones that make people want to defend rappers as musicians and it is kinda splitting hairs but music without vocals is still…music. People typically don’t treat acapella works the same
"most forms of music" especially in this day and age
Acapella is still music

You have a problem?
Are they musicians ?
I wouldn’t say so unless they also play an instrument and possess the ability to create a song or are in a group where they contribute to that being done with the help of other instrument musicians.
What music is being made if it’s just a singer by themselves? What music is being made if it’s just a rapper by themselves?

Hell Tisa Korean is a musician. If you make the backing music then you are a musician
If you just do the vocals you’re a vocalist
they’re singers. Singers can be the mfs in your church choir
Then the singers in the church choir are musicians.
Vocalist -> musician
In the same way that
Basketball player -> athlete
Same idea
This is wrong
You can train an understanding of music in and of itself but not athleticism.
With that being said rappers are technically musicians albeit like most singers they usually have very limited music knowledge
I wouldn’t say so unless they also play an instrument and possess the ability to create a song or are in a group where they contribute to that being done with the help of other instrument musicians.
What music is being made if it’s just a singer by themselves? What music is being made if it’s just a rapper by themselves?
Any body who makes music is a musician or who is musically talented tryna do mental gymnastics is like tryna diminish their creativity
If a singer is a musician same applies to rappers
I wouldn’t say so unless they also play an instrument and possess the ability to create a song or are in a group where they contribute to that being done with the help of other instrument musicians.

The term “musician” encompasses songwriters as well. Rappers (and some, not all singers) are songwriters, as well as vocalists. Therefore, they’re musicians.
It’s not just people who play instruments
Then the singers in the church choir are musicians.
That was a poor example because choirs can do albums with no music
But essentially vocalist vs. being able to make a full recording
