During A$AP Rocky’s appearance at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, some believed he appeared homophobic while standing beside Jason Collins, an openly gay professional basketball player. Rocky says that he noticed this himself when he viewed the appearance on television.
“I’m mad that my facial expressions was like that because I’m not homophobic at all, and that whole thing just came off real homophobic,” said Rocky in an interview with The Stashed. “I didn’t really notice it until I got home and saw it. I apologize to Jason for that, because people was laughing and shit, and you know… I really don’t think that’s funny. I saw they were making all the memes and pictures and making fun of him. There’s people out there that think I was doing that to be funny, and truthfully I got gay people in my family. I don’t give a fuck if you gay or you not, I just found it odd that MTV wanted to stand me next to this nigga when they are talking about gay people. That’s all.”

Rocky’s interview can be viewed below.
Rocky has previously spoken about homophobia.
“I’m a heterosexual man,” Rocky said in February 2012. “I’ve never been gay a day of my life. I used to be homophobic, but as I got older, I realized that wasn’t the way to do things. I don’t discriminate against anybody for their sexual preference, for their skin color… That’s immature. Not only that, not only do I know the difference between that, but I’m wise enough to know that that’s just stupid and wrong, and I’m just trying to spread that to everybody. Yo, you don’t have to worry about what he’s doing. If he’s gay, that’s his business. Why does it matter? If you gay, why do you care? I don’t give a fuck about gay people. I don’t! I don’t give a fuck about straight people. I don’t care. It don’t matter to me. I’m getting bitches, I’m getting money – not to get into my Hip Hop form, but that’s just what it is. I’m just trying to set the bar that you can do what the fuck you want to do because the world is yours.”

Why they have’em standin together tho? LUMINATAH
Asap Rocky is a fag himself! What the fuck is he talking about? Homophobic my ass the nigga is a HOMO
All that head giving got Jason talking weird
You know deep down he’s thinking “they got me standing by this nasty ass faggot talking about this faggot shit” hahahaha
He’s not gay. He’s straight. The skirt that he wear, men wear it all the time. It’s the new trend.
^suspect…
^ word
he was trying so hard lmao
I didn’t think he looked homophobic, I thought it was just two homosexuals on the stage.
He wears skirts n jeans tighter than his sister. Any nigga that cares as much as he does bout fashion n the way he looks is a fruity suspect niglet
They needed a black man to throw under the bus since everybody went in on Miley Cyrus, and that’s the best they could come up with.
Right or Right…..But they don’t get it though
why do you have to make everything a race war, he appeared to be laughing at a gay man and thats why he got called out not bc hes black
It’s not a race war, they just needed a black man to throw under the bus to balance out the most embarrasing ratchet performance of the night which happened to be by a white girl. Because out of all the things you can come up with from seeing a man smirking you come up with homophobia? Days after the after the fact? With the most likely to be gay of all people, so yes that’s a reach to whoever is offended, and yes they had to think of something to be made out worse than Miley’s performance and that was the best fall guy they could come up with, all while pushing the gay agenda at the same time. Somebody could have been tryna make him laugh out in the audience but that’s what they gathered out of the intro.
says the man who wears a skirt
This dude talks about him being not gay awfully too much ……
You don’t sound convinced yet.
A$ap got some problems, nigga is gay
He didn’t appear homophobic to me, he appeared homosexual his damn self.
Word up!
What’s a homophobic look? How can you determine what’s behind how somebody looks a person without talking to them? Maybe he thought this nigga tall as hell.
So were supposed to assume he’s never seen a tall person before? Asap’s so clearly got issues with gay people probably cause he’s one more dick suck away from coming out himself.
Considering that Jason Collins being tall is more obvious than him looking gay, why not? You assumed he was being homophobic even tho you yourself said ASAp himself is one more dick suck himself away from coming out, add the suspect behavior, and his past statements the look coulda been lust, and his height made it a plus for him.
That was a good apology. He kept it real there, totally sincere on his part. Props
lol they put him next to jason collins cuz everybody knows that ASAP is hella gay. real talk at my real niggaz. ASAP is totally gay. who wears a leopord print bubble vest? a gay person. asap look like a gay cheetah.
like Charlotte replied I am inspired that a person able to earn $8021 in one month on the computer. This Site… http://www.Cafe44.com
LMFAO i remember watching this and laughing at his facial expressions when Collin was speaking then he shouts out Fergs album when their talking about Macklemore haha
A$AP is gay and they know it
This nigga Rocky look like my goldfish
Lol He looked so scared. Please don’t run up in my frail ass Mr. Collins!
:3
Irony at its finest. LMAO!
Asap was lookin at a nigga weird cuz he know 2nite his azz is on booty duty lol.
Hahaahaaahaa
so tru
So………….why is he apologizing???
Like it or not ASAP is the only chance hip hop’s got
LIES, LIES, LIES,
SON STOP IT!!!!!!
keep apologizing young Sam Bo..even when no one asked you too…maybe they’ll like you 2 centimeters more….can this generation be anymore lame…Wear a diaper, then maybe you’ll be less threatening and you can get more advertising dollars and a palmolive commercial.
If ASAP is gay is that really a problem? Can gays have a place in hip hop? I just dont understand all these homophobic statements thrown at this dude. Of course nobody criticizes his body of work or his actual music just the fact that “he wears dresses.”
naw his music is pretty weak too
I can see if he was uncomfortable. MTV are schemers like that.
honestly i dont even know how people took his facial expressions the wrong way, i was watching that live & i didnt notice anything, he just looked like he was looking around sort of fidgeting while collins was talking, didnt look like he was mimicking him or anything like that. people like to make something out of nothing..you even see asap give daps to him at the end, so i dont see the big deal. not really a ASAP fan either but he alright
he did not have anything to apologize for what the hell is wrong with people. Now you can have expressions.
I DON’T KNOW, BUT A$AP ACTUALLY LOOKS GAYER THAN JASON ON THAT VIDEO…
HAHAJAIGAIAGIYAIAUA WORD UP
how this nigga acting all homophobic with his queer ass haircut? asap loss
He didn’t have to apologize for that shit. If anything he was in full out wannabe gangster mode, which didn’t fit the tone Jason Collins was trying to set I get that much. He looked like he was in the middle of a rap battle waiting for his turn on the mic, Not like he was bashing homos or anything.
I’m a fan of the beats Rocky uses, not so much of him. But I have a lot of respect for him for apologizing either way. He didn’t really have anything to apologize for. But the fact that he apologized ANYWAYS, shows a lot of class and integrity.
class and integrity?
this is the same dude whos being charged with assault after hitting a women in the face!
In this day and age the only way to not be considered a homophobe is to engage in homosexual activity. Crazy!!!
This.
And I hate how homosexuals are almost treated with more respect than everyone else these days. It’s almost like it’s recommended to be gay.
And that’s why homosexuality is more common. Not because it’s natural, but because people are thinking “ooo that seemsw fun” and doing things that they wouldn’t naturally even think of doing, but the media makes it seem like it’s better to be gay or something. I’ve HAD it with all this.
co-sign both comments above.
Keepit real “A.S.A.P. Rocky”… If u don’t F wit’ gay nigga’s let it be known cuz’ why was he at the VMA and he ain’t no artist
Funny thing is ASAP is dressed and looked like the ‘gay guy’!
HIPHOP IS MAKING ME SICK THESE DAYS. DONT GET BRAINWASHED! GAY MARRIAGE IS WRONG! BURN IN HELL!
“I just found it odd that MTV wanted to stand me next to this nigga when they are talking about gay people. Thats all.”
MTV thought you are gay too. And to be honest you are
Why so much homo stuff today? I don’t care either way but for such a small percentage of the population you’d think there would be more important music related stuff to talk about not just gossip on who said what on the troubles of the gay man.
Come back to reality, beats and raps.
Keep it about the music. Not gossip and pro homo shit.
this is the most sincere thing ive ever heard this dude say…
And in the immortal words of Freeman Riley, ASAP ” N………..”
That clip was funny! 😀
