Logic has been praised for featuring drag queens in the video for his new single “Fear.”
The first offering from his upcoming album Ultra 85, the video for the disco-influenced track features a number of drag queens readying themselves and rehearsing before they are shown in full costume.
The lyrics to the song also follow themes of identity, shedding fear and judgement of others with lines such as: “I used to move a certain way because I was afraid/ That I would not be loved the way that I deserve to be/ Until the day the fear deserted me, deserve to be free/ And do whatever the fuck I wanna do when I wanna do it/When it come to the world and creativity.”
Logic received much praise on social media for the video, with the lead actor in the clip, Tajh “Flawless Shade” Jordan, commenting on Instagram: “Forever grateful! Thank you!”
Another user said: “Homophobes losing their minds in the comments,” while someone else wrote: “Bruh why are people so uncomfortable when they see a drag queen?”
The gender-fluid visuals turned others off, though, with one critic saying: “What is this fruity ass video. I love your music, but this video just is not it.”
Logic has long been an advocate for the LGBTQ community. In a 2020 interview with DJ Vlad, he said: “To say homosexuality has no place in Hip Hop is like saying homosexuals don’t have a place in society. That’s how I feel. Hip Hop is about expression, being yourself and it’s just weird.”
In 2017, he also released a pro-LGBTQ video for his hit song “1-800-273-8255″ which starred Don Cheadle and Matthew Modine.
As for Ultra 85, the DMV native announced the album on New Year’s Eve after previously hinting about it at the end of his 2020 LP No Pressure, which was initially supposed to be his final release.
While a release date has yet to be announced, Logic unveiled the cover art for Ultra 85 earlier this week, reuniting with artist Sam Spratt who previously designed the artwork for Under Pressure, Everybody and the aforementioned No Pressure.
This the type of shit this cornball gotta do for attention. We see thru the fake white savior complex’s for profit now
It seems that he has your attention 🤡
Thought this geek retired
The left doesnt understand the concept of “phobias” they twist it to push their agendas. Nobody “fears” drag queens. They just dont like them and dont want their kids embracing them. Its not fear, its dislike, get it right. Nobody fears drag queens the way they might fear spiders, heights, small enclosed areas, etc. 99% percent of so called “homophobes” would knock a drag queen the fuck out if they could legally get away with it. Wheres the fear ? Its a liberal myth meant to twist the narrative.
There’s a different between drags and gay tho
STFU with your gay ass left and right talk fuck you
Fire 🔥
Hiphop gatekeepers have failed the world😔and let gays come into our holier than thou culture and own it. Fvck the white man…WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
If you read between the lines, what I’m saying is i spend A LOT of time thinking about drag queens and would love to “lay hands” on them. It’s only ironic that I worry about kids because I will never actually have one, as I’ve never actually encountered a vagina IRL. And I’m not afraid of drag queens, I am afraid of spiders because I’m a little pussy boy.
Release date is 3/01
Nobody had a problem with drag until they had adults in drag seeking to entertain children. Drag is for adults. Keep it 18+ and nobody cares. Only creepy freaks think drag, which is clearly shrouded in sexual themeing, is appropriate for children.
Most disco music was just pop on the lines of KC and the Sunshine Band who were basically the most popular group of the 70s bigger than the Bee Gees. They were a multi-racial band with a white singer that played uptempo soul-funk. That’s all so-called “disco” is. Anyone who every read a novel knows so-called gays have been around these white scenes forever. it’s their pet obsession

You were a good rapper. why fry your career? because you think it can’t happen? watch and see.
Hiphop has been long infiltrated by leftists…many just don’t realise it.
Disappointing. I liked the song, then saw it was a trans music video. Politics always gotta ruin something. Nobody cares about trans people if they stay out of people’s lives and stop trynna infiltrate them. Being Trans is just a way to get attention & make them feel like they are recognised in society, no trans person would be “hated” or disliked if it wasn’t promoted and shoved in people’s faces so much.
