T.I. Issues Apology Following Sexist Comments

    In a newly-released video he filmed himself, Atlanta, Georgia rapper T.I. issued an apology for past comments he made about not wanting to vote for a female president.

    He first apologized to the women close to him and then to those he doesn’t know personally. He then shared his belief that women can lead this nation and other nations if they “apply themselves and educate themselves.”

    “First and foremost, I want to say I apologize to the women that I know and that know me,” T.I. said. “My mother, my wife, my daughters, my cousins, my nieces, my sisters, my aunties. All of you I’ve seen put homes, businesses, families on your back, and do things that were unthinkable. And seemingly impossible…To the people that don’t know me, I never intended to be taken as though I felt women couldn’t be leaders. That was not my intention. I know better than that. I know that my daughters, as well as your daughters can lead this nation. As well as any other nation. As long as they apply themselves and educate themselves.”

    During an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, which was released earlier this month, T.I. declared that he “can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman” since women tend to “make rash decisions emotionally.”

    In his apology video, he explained that DJ Whoo Kid’s show is one in which outrageous things are said, but this time he took it too far.

    “I was on a platform, DJ Whoo Kid, where we say a lot of outrageous things,” he said. “Talk about a lot of taboo topics. Have a lot of barbershop talk. Say some things that are borderline inappropriate. Borderline offensive…This time I reached for a joke that was in very poor taste, using a stereotype associated to women that I should not have done.”

    1. That’s good you apologised tho’ but you as a role model shouldn’t always talk as you like. Think bout that.

      1. he aint a role mode or is trying to be one u stupid fucktard, even he knows that. Ffs he raps bout slangin, murders and caught a federal weapons charge…………………….Damm u stupid as fuck kid, lmao.

    2. dey aint say shit wen beyonce said bitches run d world.mehn fuck an apology!dz ho’s suck a dick nd b satified

    3. Basically he saying his daughter could never be president? Ti ain’t shit, for those who support this so called king do research. I real king would motivate man or woman to become something great in life… plus I’m tired of men running this country cause it’s not getting better look around poverty is everywhere. And kids are listening to wack ass music killing each other for nothing.

      1. …………………*crickets*. Its a fact that men and women are different and are better at different things/roles than each other, otherwise we would have had WAY more female leaders throughout history, that my friend is a fact you cant argue with. Dont get me wrong Im sure there are plenty of women in this country who would make a good leader but men (not all men) in general make better leaders, its just nature and the same case in the animal kingdom (with very few exceptions). And this country is not in this state because a man is president, lmao. This counrty is FUCKED because of EVERYBODYS failings.

    4. Apparently he does no know any better. There thousands up on thousands of women who are educated around the world. Just cause he has a swinging dick he’s better than the women in this world?
