2021 HipHopDX Rising Star 42 Dugg is attempting to get ahead of any potential issues following a homophobic rant on social media regarding how he treats his 3-year-old son.
The Detroit rapper issued an apology via his Instagram Stories on Sunday (August 1), claiming he didn’t mean to hurt anyone with his comments and was merely showing off the love he has for his son.
“It never be my intentions to offend anybody even when I’m offended so for that I am sorry,” he began. “I’m Ah very private person when it come to personal shit such as my son or my family in general. People tell me I need to take more pictures or you know let my fans see something about me other the music.”
Although he contends the photo wasn’t for feedback, he immediately declared he wouldn’t share his family anymore.
“For y’all to take that moment and make it what y’all did just reminded me of why I keep my family private,” he added. “I will not be showing my son or any of my family on this Shit again y’all lost that privilege this for me to promote my music and that’s what I’m gone use it fr nothing more nothing less.”
Some fans saw the video of 42 Dugg showing affection to his 3-year-old son as “inappropriate” and joked they would be calling Child Protective Services for the child’s well-being.
42 Dugg Snaps After He's Called Out For 'Inappropriate' Video With 3-Year-Old Son
Dugg’s response to the controversy was similar to the homophobic comments made by DaBaby at Rolling Loud Miami on July 25.
In a since-deleted post in his Instagram Stories, he railed against those who called his actions with his son suspect and told them to “suck his dick.”
“Ain’t nobody going for that gay ass hoe ass shit y’all on,” he wrote. “y’all quit to get on some GAY BITCH ASS SHIT BUT WHEN AS N-GGA JUMP DOWN ON ONE YOU HOE N*GGAS AND CALL SOMEBODY OUT WE HOMOPHOBIC. DON’T NOBODY GIVE AH FUCK ABOUT THAT SHIT YALL DON’T NONE US WE ENTERTAINERS THATS IT.”
We “lost that privilege”? Nigga, we never gave a fuck what you posted, still don’t… Unless it’s more suspect pedo shit, then we’ll light your tiny head ass up again. Stfu fool
How’s about you just vow not to do that kind of shit to your son again, that shit was fucked up
since it’s I’m sorry week, tommorow I need all you guys to go to work tommorow and stand on a table and in a nice voice say I’m sorry
Does social media ever do anything but create controversy for people? Seriously, these rappers and celebrities in general need to stop feeding into that BS. Pay somebody a few thousand a month to promote your music and stop giving those complaint factories your attention.
Lmao are you for real? Nobody created any controversy but his own stupid self when he 1. Made a video of himself flicking his tongue and licking on his baby sons neck and giving him hickeys 2. Physically posting that shit on the gram for the world to see…….The way you talking like “social media” put a gun to his head and made him post disturbing shit online smfh. Ever heard of a thing called PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY???
You missed the entire point of the post. Congratulations.
don’t be scared! the truth will be revealed anyone.
Well, he had the right approach. Da Baby could learn from this guy. You said some shit in the moment and apologized. You didn’t mean to offend anyone. That’s an excellent look. Respect.
I don’t think he meant no harm honestly, seems to love his son but that video made my stomach turn a little fr! The tongue flick ?. I got 3 grown sons, kissed them on lips as newborns maybe but that was very short time and not on a reg basis either. After that only on the cheek and vice versa. I’m not on social media like that but can’t you view it before you post it. He shoulda looked at it 1st!!
you don’t have two feel sorry fro yourself
This looks like a 9 year old wrote this lol rappers are half retarded these days I swear
