Ma$e isn’t thrilled about the prospect of a woman coaching an all-men’s basketball team in the NBA, and he has justified his stance by pointing to his upbringing.
On an episode of It Is What It Is that aired on Thursday (April 11), he and Cam’ron shared their thoughts on former WNBA point guard Lindsey Harding auditioning for a coaching position with the Charlotte Hornets.

Whereas Killa seemed somewhat undecided about the implications of her landing the role, Murda made it clear that he doesn’t approve of it.
“This is an interesting topic,” he began. “It seem like this is a growing mindset that I see as society evolves. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad this, but you are asking me the question. I’m never really in favor of — this might be a whirlwind of a statement — I’m never in favor of women leading men, it don’t matter what it is.”

He continued: “I was just brought up traditionally, just like with values that [have] been very instilled in me and I try to stick to those values. I think she could do a great job, not that she’s not capable of it; I just don’t think women are supposed to be leading men.”

The former pastor’s conservative views don’t stop with his take on women as he has also been critical of men engaging in same-sex relations in the past.
Last year, NBA player Dwight Howard admitted to a threesome with Stephen Harper and a transgender person identified as “Kitty” amid allegations of sexual assault made against him, which the “Welcome Back” hitmaker addressed on his talk show.
“We gotta stop telling people, ‘I don’t care what you do on your own time,’ because we do care,” he began. “And women, you gotta stop. We gotta stop telling n-ggas, ‘What you do in your own personal time has nothing to do with me.’ It does matter. Those are the lies that are going on in society.
“We tell people it don’t matter but behind your back it matters. And that’s what we gotta first start off by saying. You hear Stat saying what people do in their bedroom, that’s between them. Not necessarily true but I understand. You telling them it don’t matter but then it does matter. Anybody watching this knows it does matter.”

He continued: “People will say, ‘It don’t matter.’ But as soon as they find out, it matters. So they outing them. When it comes down to making money off the story, it matters. When it comes down to who dating you it’s gonna matter. When it comes down to if you’re gonna be in the locker room with them, it matters. Because there’s about 30 teams who didn’t sign Dwight Howard because it matters.”
