Cardi B Defends Boyfriends Homophobic Comments

Cardi B has taken to the live streaming service Periscope to defend her fiancé Offset‘s homophobic comments, and people are raging.

Offset (who is part of the rap group Migos) was called out for his verse in “Boss Life”, which went” “Pinky ring crystal clear/40k spent of a private Lear/60k solitaire/I cannot vibe with queers.”

Not cool.

However, he took to Instagram to apologise, claiming that he didn’t realise that the word ‘queer’ had anything to do with the LGBT community, posting a dictionary definition.

“I didn’t write the line about gay people. I have said before since these issues before that I got love for all people. My passion for fashion has lead me to a lot of gay people around me who I have mad respect for and we are very cool so I’m not in a place where I’m hating like that. When I wrote that I was thinking of words that could rhyme with the others (here, lear, solitaire, bear) and I saw this definition about her having a queer feeling she was being watched and it fit what I was thinking about a stalker creepy paparazzi situation. To me that ‘queer’ I don’t mean someone who’s gay. I mean lame people who film you, post it and stalk you. Lingo that means strange or odd. I M S O R R Y I A P O L O G I Z E I’m offended I offended anybody

That’s when Cardi B entered the drama.

In her live stream, she claimed ignorance on the word, and defended Offset’s intentions.

Why people are so upset with her video is because she is blaming the LGBT community for not ‘educating’ her and everyone else about the word.

Ok then.

I believe Cardi doesn’t mean harm but when she defends her homophobic partner (who offends FREQUENTLY) I have to decide for myself where the line is as a gay man, b/c my well-being & in some situations my LIFE is at stake w/ this thought process.
