Offset issued a public apology today on Instagram after catching heat for his line "I cannot vibe with queers". The Migos rapper recited the line in the video for "Boss Life" featuring YFN Lucci.
Fans on social media were outraged over Offset using the term. A Twitter user with the handle @myyughh, received over 18,000 retweets in regards to Offset's comments stating: "did he just say... he doesn’t vibe with queers? then continue to talk about the designer clothes he wears... that are designed by... queers...?"
Offset's apology reads:
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.
