After making waves for comments about iLoveMakonnen‘s announcement that he was gay, Migos has posted to Instagram to clarify what the group meant about their fellow Atlantian.
“We always been about being original and staying true,” the group writes in a note that was also posted to Twitter. “Staying true to yourself goes a long way. We are all fan’s of Makonnens music and we wish he didn’t feel like he ever had to hide himself. We feel the world is fucked up that people feel like they have to hide and we’re asked to comment on someone’s sexuality. We have no problem with anyone’s sexual preference. We love all people, gay or straight and we apologize if we offended anyone.”
In the interview, Migos was asked about iLoveMakonnen’s announcement, to which they seemingly responded with surprise.
“This world is not right,” Takeoff said.
“We ain’t saying it’s nothing wrong with the gays,” Quavo added, “…he first came out talking about trapping and selling Molly, doing all that.”
The trio joined iLoveMakonnen on the track “Whip It (Remix)” from his Drink More Water 5 mixtape.

This week, Migos earned their first number one album with Culture thanks to their smash hit “Bad and Boujee.” Some could consider it another win for Atlanta’s Hip Hop scene, which also includes peers like iLoveMakonnen, who in January, came out as gay via Twitter.
Speaking with Rolling Stone, the trio said they didn’t agree with the outpouring of support that fans showed the former OVO artist in this excerpt:
I’m surprised by Migos’ reaction when I mention iLoveMakonnen, the local MC who just came out as gay on Twitter. “Damn, Makonnen!” Quavo bellows after an awkward interlude. I mention support I saw online for Makonnen’s decision. “They supported him?” Quavo asks, raising an eyebrow. “That’s because the world is fucked up,” says Offset. “This world is not right,” Takeoff says. “We ain’t saying it’s nothing wrong with the gays,” says Quavo. But he suggests that Makonnen’s sexuality undermines his credibility, given the fact that “he first came out talking about trapping and selling Molly, doing all that.”
He frowns. “That’s wack, bro.”
Interestingly enough, both Makonnen and Migos collaborated for the “Whip It (Remix)” from his Drink More Water 5 mixtape. So far, the “Tuesday” rapper has yet to respond to the comments.
During the interview, Quavo also mentioned that “Bad and Boujee” originally featured an anti-Trump, pro-Bernie Sanders line before Hillary Clinton received the Democratic nomination.
“Jump jump, I don’t fuck with Donald Trump/I feel the Bern, feel the Bern—Bernie Sanders,” said Quavo. He wanted to pay respect to the Vermont senator because he was “in the trenches back in the day, really in the streets.”
Soooo you can’t be gay and trap? Lol
Of course not. It undermines Hip Hop’s masculinity. Lmao. Maybe gay rappers should have their own genre, Gay Hop, or something. Idk. Haha
You’re a homophobic moron hiphopprof
So, what I was saying isn’t true? Explain yourself.
Dick hop.
lol that’s the one
F a g hop and queer trap lol
What Hip Hop Masculinity?
Bet they won’t say this when Drake comes out as Gay
I remember when Makonen was talking about having sex with chicks and getting all the “hoes”. Instead of calling him out for his trapping lyrics, they should’ve called him out for pretending to be straight and not being truthful. In multiple interviews after “Tuesday” got popular people asked Makonnen about his sexuality and he clearly lied about it.
He was clearly worried about how bellends like you would perceive him…hardly think its something to be called out for
It is be real or go the fuck home you dont have enough self respect to stand up for yourself and what you believe in exchange for fame then your no better than a prostitute get fucked for fiscal gains so are these celebs too afraid to show who they really are because it might effect there check no self respect then again most gays dont have that look at there pathetic pride festivals of the freaks of our nation traumitizing children for just walking outside and seeing some 60 year old guys cheeks in assless chaps if the migos are right about one thing this country is fucked up lets protest by having no shirt on with an ignorant message on my chest or walk around in a dick outfit on something we call pride day fucking stupid
Just because he acknowledge his sexuality now doesn’t mean that he has not had past sexual experiences with women.
your either on steroids & the alpha male
or your hype thats outta control
and dark skinned
or your singing and light skinned and perceived soft
no gay life being promoted in the hiphop industry in the 1st person
Tfw your neighborhood look like a third world country and you worried bout Makonnen getting all the down low dick that supposed to be getting

Periods….
Their publicist wrote a very articulate, grammatically correct statement – He or she is putting that communications degree to good use.
What they said to Rolling Stones: ‘We aint saying its nothing wrong with gays” What their apology statement said: ‘We have no problem with anyones sexual preference. We love all people.’ I mean, if you’re going to act like they wrote that themselves at least make it seem somewhat believable
“We ain’t saying it’s nothing wrong with the gays,” Quavo added, “…he first came out talking about trapping and selling Molly, doing all that.”
Come to Montrose in Houston Texas and I will educate you on various individuals (gay and straight) that “are about trapping and selling Molly, doing all that.” It’s not just a certain demographic (just in case you are into alternative facts).

Makonnen probably got more cred than these suburban frauds. Ain’t no one trapping out the bando where they from. Makonnen acactually caught a body. Wonder how they feel about their boy Thug wearing dresses… oh wait Migos all wear girls jeans too.
All these guys look suspect him coming out the closet doesn’t shock anybody hell its all over tv radio and if you going to be in this field of entertainment and have any success more than likely you have been bent over and your jaw bone blown out once it got exposed all these tough talking tatted up busters I believe have been violated by the devil scum who run the industry for the crumbs they give them and then toss them out like yesterdays garbage wake up people !
That’s not clarifying what they said. That is totally backtracking and saying the opposite.
and it was obviously wrote by someone else…
Anybody else get the urge to throatfuck that lil f.aggot Quavo??
Their first hit Versace consisted of them repeating a gay dudes name over and over..
Fuck migos they bit lord infamous flow…but of course yall dont know thst name because yall mainstream fucks.
