The entire world has been on the fence when it comes to Olympic Gold medalist Bruce Jenner and his decision to become a woman. People have been either supportive of his transition or feel that it's too much, and when TMZ got up with rap legend Erick Sermon, he agreed with the latter.
Before the interviewer could even get out the rest of his question, Sermon interjected and said that Bruce is "crazy" and "took too long to do that." "It looks like it's a stunt because of the reality show...the timing is bad," Erick states. The rapper is more understanding than most, linking Jenner's transition to the high rise in suicide amongst transgender men and women. "Maybe what he's trying to do is bring awareness -- I heard that the suicide rate is heavy, for those people who are stuck like he is are killing themselves."
Erick Sermon concludes the interview with TMZ by talking about rappers he feels are on the same road as Bruce Jenner, and how hip-hop just isn't ready for that. Watch above and let us know if you think Hip-Hop will ever be accepting of transgender artists below.
