T.I. threw fuel on the fire when he commented on DaBaby’s recent Rolling Loud Miami controversy and brought openly gay artist Lil Nas X into it. In attempt to defend his “freedom of speech” argument, the Hustle Gang boss further expounded on the topic in an Instagram Live video posted on Wednesday (July 28).
While making his case, Tip suggested rappers such as DaBaby are the ones who are being bullied — not the other way around.
“Everyone up in arms and upset about what DaBaby said,” he said. “Now, I understand people saying that they feel it’s insensitive. I think you guys have to understand that onstage is not the place that rappers go to be sensitive and soothe everybody’s feelings. It’s a place to go to have a good time.
“I thought we kind of let our hair down and disqualified the BS because if we ’posed to not trip if we see White people saying nigga singing along with the song, how is we held to such a high standard of morality?”
T.I. continued, “Just to be honest. So, it seemed like it was a safe place and it’s all done in fun. That’s what I thought. If that is the case, why do words cause such a visceral reaction that will lead to someone trying to attack, villainize, demonize, crucify, condemn.
“That shit is…Now you bullying. We all stood up on behalf of gays and lesbians and people in the gay community because we thought it was some bullshit for y’all to have to be bullied. But I don’t think any of us did that to feel like you would now have the authority to come and bully us.”
DaBaby has since apologized for his offensive remarks and miraculously addresses it in his new single and video for “Giving What It’s Supposed To Give,” although he says he wrote it before the controversy exploded.
“COINCIDENTALLY the video you were shooting till 4am the DAY OF @rollingloud touches on EVERY controversial topic trending in the headlines,” he wrote in part. “so you then go against the grain in the opposite direction of every scared person around you & stay true to yourself & DROP DAT BITCH in the height of the commotion & show the world once again that you CANT BE FUCKED WIT?”
Read DaBaby’s full post below.
Hahahaha. The gay community is bullying rappers who bring up sucking dick in parking lots and aids/HIV killing people in 2 weeks. The cops are bullying convicted felons. America is systematically racist, yet he has 50 million dollars and has been convicted of 3 felonies. He has his daughters hymen checked on by doctors. This guy is THE biggest fuck boy in hip hop by far.
Really easy to judge behind a key board.. let’s look in your David ass life quick… Wtf you got hiding cause you ain’t a celeb with all your business out there? Fucking fruitcakes…
David ass life? LOL. I’m married, have a career, good credit, I own my own business, 2 cars, 2 homes, a college education and zero felonies. I also speak 3 languages fluently. LOL. I’m not worried at all about dudes fucking dudes, girls fucking girls. If I had kids and they were gay or wanted to watch Lil Nas X perform naked I’d have zero problems with it. I’m guessing your life is a mess, idiot. It’s Ok. You won’t dig yourself out of your moms basement with all of your hypocritical bigotry and hate. LOL. You’ve lost. Take it like a man. An ignorant, closeted homosexual or bicurious bigoted man. LOL. Saying stupid shit like “I’m sick of all this gay shut being pushed on us” is the same as saying “I’m sick of all this bullshit n word black people shit being pushed on us, violence, promiscuity, drugs, crime, hate red of the police.” You’re obviously WAY too stupid to understand your hypocrisy. Look that word up dumb dumb. As far as keyboard warrior shit goes, I’ll happily tell anyone to their face that if they openly say anything negative about gay people they’ll lose their jobs and get crucified on social media. You wouldn’t bitch! YOU’RE the keyboard warrior dummy. I. An say this out loud all day. No one would dare say shit. Go to your shitty as Jon and call people fruitcakes. East has what happens. Hahahahahahaha!!
Wait… David ass life? LOL. I just realized you are clinically slow. Why have I wasted my time? I am not a celeb with my business out here? You think celebs are out here in the comment sections? Bwahahahahaha! You are barely functioning as a human you’re so stupid. I now realize I’ve wasted my time with someone who has the IQ of a four year old. How do you manage to type being so stupid? Please find the dicks you dream about. Please eat some fruitcake already. LOL. You’re just a sad, delusional, broken kid. I’m sorry your parents didn’t raise you right. It’s sad and embarrassing. I’m sure you’ll end up in prison and get that D you’re so worried about. Fruitcake. LOL.
Da baby did t really apologize though. LOL. Maybe just don’t talk about other sexual preferences, gender identities, raves or religions etc like any intelligent human would avoid doing. You reap what you sow.
Where’s Drake when you need him. the hiphop game needs a reset right now. from da baby to Nas x. save us Drake ( look, I just flip da switch on flip flip….. either hand is the upper hand) minus pusha Drake killed em that year!!
Ok Canadian batty boy. Settle down. You’re getting Anal lube all over the keyboard. Your fake Milli Vanilli clown ass culture vulture will drop some teeny bop bullshit he didn’t write for you to finger pop your booty hole to soon enough.
Of course a Drake hater responds with a sus reply.
yea dude been replying to comments that don’t promote fruitcake activity. basically a case of yall need to be open to fruitcake activities. lmao
Nah dumb dumb. You need to allow people their constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness fucktard. People can do whatever they want with their bodies. You’ve made it very clear that you secretly are into dudes. That’s fine. It’s like the little kid that bullies the girl he has a crush on. In your low IQ case, it’s gay men. Same with Da Baby. Go play with those ducks homie. Live your truth. Figure out if it’s for you or not. Stop projecting. LOL. Fruitcake. You should be OK with anything that doesn’t affect you. This obviously some does. In your feelings.
stop trolling. nobody like g@ys other than your fruitcake self. u not welcomed here. I better not see you in here again
Hahahaha. Idiot. Nobody likes gays. It’s not about liking them dummy. It’s about minding your own business and letting them do their own thing.you know, the constitution of this country and all idiot? You saw me here again, homophobe weirdo. What are you going to do about it bitch? LOL
Any real Hip-hop head is a Drake hater dummy. LOL. Drake is teeny bop pop music. Not hip-hop or rap. You closet homos are hilarious.
It’s ok to be gay bro, let it out. “Finger pop” lmao “anal lube”. Way past sus
It’s hilarious that homophobes find gay talk sus. LOL. Are you uncomfortable with words little boy? Are they going o hurt you? Hahahaha
how did we go from Get Rich die trying era music where everyone was internet thugs and keyboard warriors(the music had yall feeling tough lol) to this Nas x fruitcake type of music….. sway how???
I’m Guessing you never heard of Queen, Elton John, Judas Priest. It’s just that nowadays weirdo homophobic closeted homosexual cowards like yourself have the internet for anonymity. LOL. You wouldn’t ever publicly say shit about gay people or post it on social media because you would lose your job at Arby’s. Your weirdo mom wouldn’t kick you out though. She’s the reason you’re a moron. It’s OK. You’re into dudes. Move on already. Go play with a penis.
It’s like they’re playing “Dig a Hole” on repeat at this point…
Lol, the man who got busted with 15 army guns is crying about being bullied by gay people…
Let me tell you what T.I , Boosie, Tory lanes & the baby all have in common , that’s right they skipped breakfast the most important meal of the day not because it has nutritional value no that’s not why you have The breakfast, the breakfast is meant to stop you from becoming Scorned by the Twitter folk and the brunch eating fellas , for example “hey did the baby say something homophobic at rolling loud?” Noo he was eating granola couldn’t be him.
Man TI is such a little bitch … the cat is chaining bitches up against their will and he tries to talk morality lmfao the meanings of hypocrisy and self responsibility is definitely lost on “the culture”… all that money and success and the guy is still a loser
When did you see T.I. chain up anyone? Spreading false rumors is sick. Stick to the facts. Why can’t we all simply have opinions? I don’t care what you are doing and neither should you care what I’m doing. You called that man a BITCH why cause he is rich and your not or is it because he has a platform. HI HATERS !!!!!
@Bama46Boy Lmao he’s bitch because of the way he acts … you think because you have money you are immune to being a bitch…. Just listen to the dumb hypocritical bullshit he spouts out his ignorant mouth lol
Lots of fish in these comments. Live your life, sure, but you have fish emboldened by execs and they are pushing their lifestyle onto people who don’t want it. Make out with dudes and call yourself the devil then are mad when there is backlash? What kind of soft ass society is this? Ya got men in skirts now to get the most reactions, the game changed. Media got y’all head screwed up
People don’t want weed, alcohol, violence and promiscuity pushed on them either. Certain racist people would say “I’m sick of all this black shit being pushed on our kids. Hip hop. Skinny jeans.” We would be shutting on them in these comments too. You’re the same as they are idiot. The only backlash anyone was mad at is how stupid people like you are to not realize that was the entire point dummy. LOL. You low IQ idiots are hilarious.
Fish? LOL. Pushing lifestyles? Hahahaha. That’s like saying I’m sick of black people in hip hop pushing crime, drugs, promiscuity, adultery, violence etc at people thru music. Hahahaha. Dumb ass hypocrite. You can listen to Queen or Elton John all day. How fucking weak minded would you have to be for someone or something to CONVINCE you to be gay? You don’t have to buy it, listen to it or chime in the comment section weirdo. No one is pushing shit on anyone you weak minded idiot. You have zero cohesive arguments and a very low IQ. I’m guessing you can’t spell GED, let alone get one. Homosexuality and homosexual sex exists in EVERY species of mammal. Look it up dummy. People are pushing something found in nature, that has been a certain percentage of the population since the beginning of civilization in us? Hahahahaha. Wow. Really stupid. Congrats.
You’re sick in the head, seek out professional help. Replying to every comment here you don’t agree with, using different names but saying the same general childish shit. You’re desperate for respect and attention from the internet. You’re a sad case and emotionally unintelligent.
Yeah “Jodt.” Seems your like count would differ. LOL there’s at least 3 or 4 people on here smashing weirdo homophobes that dream of dick like yourself. Weirdo. I own my own business. Plenary of time to clown fuckboys between calls and meetings. LOL. This Mezcal tastes awesome BTW. Enjoy that Capri sun your mom out in the fridge with her WIC ass.
T.I mever been that respected hip hop figure but he real for that agree or not the last 6 years they been mad obsess with controlling everything from entertainement to media and even science research
Do you speak English? Was that code?
I’m super pissed I was gonna hold my phone up but then I checked real quick and by golly I had somehow gotten full blown aids and Leo and behold my Pu$$y didn’t smell like water after I got done blowing a bunch of dudes in the parking lot so when everyone else out there phone up at a concert I just had to stand there like an idiot watching it like some kinda 70’s Jane Fonda hippie. DAbaby should be ashamed of himself.
oh behave.
Best way to end bullying in general: boycott social media. Thats where it all happens. Aint none of these social justice warriors step to people face to face without the protection of their internet safe space. I say fuck em Delete all your social media accounts, and leave those fools by themselves in cyberspace.
I 100% agree.
There’s room for Da Baby, and there’s room for Lil Nas X. Why we gotta cancel anything we don’t like? Why hold rappers to a high moral standard?
No one got cancelled friend. Dude sis something stupid and it will chip away at his wallet a bit. Nick cannon talked shit about the J’s. This dummy talked shit about gay people. If he shuts drops it he’ll be OK. T.I. And Bossie aren’t helping.
Uh, pretty sure rappers took the first shot at the gay community T.I. As much as I love rap music, it’s lyrics have ran rampant with homphobia and misogyny for decades and you’re now getting upset that you’re being taken to task for it.
Hip Hop Is Hip Hop, You can’t Controlled à narrative Of an artiste, Hip Hop Is Freedom, Let them Be Free!!!
My point is you can’t have your cake and eat it. You can’t spend decades undermining homosexuals and women and then get angry when they hit back, or you get a Little Nas X or a WAP. It’s a double standard, T.I is an actual idiot who should not be allowed to speak on heavy topics.
It was the black community who made Little Richard, Luther , George Michael, and countless others stars. Should we talk about the racism in the Gay community?
LMAOOOOO, wtf does this post even mean? Who are these gay racists you’re referring to?
You guys are trying to infer blacks are homophobic, that’s what this post means. Should I talk about Neellie’s Sports Bar in DC? Or the lawsuit against the city of SF by black employees alleging discrimination against gay city managers? All you got it trolling and deflection.
Does your mom have big tits?
George Michael? The white guy from Britain that was in wham? Hahahahahaha
Black people made George Michael’s music hot (look at the R&B charts) when he left Wham. He had a big black fanbase, especially black women. If your under 30, you don’t know. This narrative that blacks people are homophobic or undermining LGBT community is BS.
George Michael has several number one billboard hits. Faith. I want your sex. LOL. The J’s run the music industry. They’re al white. You’re saying 11% of the populous in the 80’s made him a number 1 artist? Hahahahahahaha. This same weirdo white guy projecting his dreams of black dick keeps losing. It’s actually hilarious.
I quit listening to nearly all hip hop music since around 2017-2018 but what the fuck is going on with the hip hop industry nowdays? Why is everything so fruity and why does it seems the rap community is getting more gay by the day? In 10 years there won’t be anymore hip hop left lmao. Only pop-hop with flashy lights, neon pink outfits and cookie cutter auto tune filled lyrics. Shit’s a disgrace.
Wow. The same weirdo who is really into dudes keeps posting his strange gay fantasy in several different ways across several different articles. Just find some duck already. You’re a lame.
shut up h0mo your kind ain’t welcome around here. go to your Lil breeding h0mo sites where you prance around like girls and use them weirdo words like slay(the only time you should use slay is when you actually slay a dam dragon!)
LOL. Projecting your gay fantasies again. I’m sure you know ALL the gay sites. And you brought up slay and dragons for some reason. They spit fire and attack with their tails. Right up your alley weirdo. LOL. This dummy sits in his mom’s shithole apartment blaming gay people for being a fat, inbred minimu wage loser. Hahahaha. Keep projecting all of your gay shut buddy. This will help you find that dick you crave so badly.
it might save a few lives.
Cukold kimye has his breath smelling like ray j balls. Never turn a ho into a housewife …guess Kanye broke rules both women in his life ratchet Donda and Kim. Think Kanye a MAGA supporting bisexual. Why does he think he is such a genius ?
Wow. The amount of weirdo closeted gay dudes on here is astounding. It’s probably just one weird white kid in Wisconsin or some shit. Why does he think he is a genius? Ummmmm. 20+ Grammys. He’s sold over 21 million albums and started a company on his own the he owns 100% of that’s valued at over 2 billion dollars. Just that. You think your clever and have $.89 cents to your name, drive a Datsun and sleep on the couch at your moms apartment.
All this woke drama and crying over Da Baby makes me appreciate him that much more. These are all first world problems and just a bunch of soft p^ssies crying. Rappers can talk about selling drugs and murdering people all day but as soon as they say one sideways thing about these fruitcakes it’s like all hell broke loose.. GTFOH
Yeah. You’re a dummy bro. The second any hypocrite like yourself starts in with your low IQ ass, it’s too easy to destroy your weak rhetoric. LOL. You actually played yourself with your own argument stupid. No one is complaining about bitches shaking their asses in videos. Except for your closeted homo ass. Hahahaha. You’re the same weirdo trying to argue on all these posts that keeps losing. You would NEVER openly share your opinion. You know you’ve lost. Stop seeking attention dummy. Your life sucks and you’re a lonely person consumed with hate that has nothing better to do. Trump lost BTW. Sit down. Shut up.
So its cool to promote violence destroy the latin n african american communities its ok its ok to treat women as objects but not ok for em to pick on alphabet ppl. Get the f… Out of here only reason for auch ia cauae theres so many upper crust sexual pervs out there that in control aka the man(blanco) that speak against them cancel time. Americans are weak and dumb a.. Fuch realized such after so realizing how many ppl support socialist imaginary disney policies and how many ppl supported trump as well. Theres real problems out here like violence starvation lack of urban and rural development schools not preparing people for real world. Yet americans bicker over bs wouldnt know a real struggle if seen one. Ass backwards culture between wokeness cancel culture ect . we need to cancel the f… Media theyre dumbing down americans as well not trustworthy n the most biased shh out there never middle ground which what it takes to move foward called communication and compromise. Just cause dont agree with u dont mean hate u ect so stop all the ism phobia bs. We aint all ment to like eachother just coexist. America aint even christian forreal easier to say u some than live it.
Damn you trying to write a book?
Didn’t even notice the line
If they didn’t make it offensive I wouldn’t even know
And gay isn’t hiphop
I agree it’s gross that’s not what hip hop is about
Says two gay guys who are the same person, who hate gays, but somehow have time to post a gang of shit about something that doesn’t affect them that they think is wrong. Strange, right? LOL
Lesbians are cool but gay dudes in hip hop is ?
TI needs to sit tf down. And Baby needs to stop talking about it. They both just making it worse on some “we have a right to be ignorant” stance. This is a weird hill to die on. The right to use a music started to uplift an oppressed people to put down a group of oppressed people. Baby don’t give a shit about Hip Hop
F those ho mos. You can’t try to force a lifestyle that’s abnormal on the normal. They have the right to be criticized because it’s out if the norm. Oppressed in what way. They have access to resources like anyone else. I’ve never heard of this group being cut off from resources or economically held back like other groups. Also there is no such as a gay gene. It’s a mental disorder. I’m glad Da baby and others are criticizing this madness.
LOL. A lifestyle that’s abnormal? Hahahahaha. Every species of mammal engages in homosexual acts. Let that simmer. Homosexuality has been present since before the Greeks, romans and Mesopotamians. Basically before recorded modern civilization. LOL. You’re obviously a low functioning retard. Relax. The world isn’t what your inbred single mom on meth wants it to be. Trump lost. If you accept it, it hurts less.
This is a sign of the fall of the Roman empire. Rome was a homosexual society but it was on the low. When homosexuality became more prevalent and outwardly displayed by their political figures.Rome began to fall. An Italian historian called it a contagion of homosexuality and effemininty. This is what’s happening in this country now.
I call modern rap music today genocide music. Black people already rap about destructive lifestyle with no wisdom included in the music unlike artist in the past. Now the industry is pushing a lifestyle that leads to genocide. So in that sense its destruction on both sides. Also this sing song melodic rap sucks. Just become an rnb singer. By the way genocide music would be a hard album title. I would out the most ignorant rappers as my features.
If you can’t rap and you can’t sing then you are qualified to be a 2021 “artist”
Hip Hop Culture has been taken over by Leftists. They using our Music to push their Agenda and to indoctrinate the youth.
Please grab a dictionary and look up the word ‘leftist’.
Everyone in hip hop always were Democrats and leftists dumb dumb. You’re a moron. LOL. Maybe check out a Country music site.
everytime we as black men try to create boundaries, we are told emphatically that we don’t have the right to them. everybody love who you love and do what you do, but what does this shit have to do with hip hop ? why does lbgtq need to spread its message through hip hop ? i dont see any other genre of music being this much influenced and infiltrated by that community. and if we say anything about it were evil and ignorant ? that is bullying. at some point, were gonna have to come up with some new shit and let yall have this smh
You say “being infiltrated” like there’s some secret undercover operative trying to sneak f*gs into the Holy Temple of Hip Hop. GTFOHWTBS. Hiphop is music and culture, that’s it. And whether you like it or not, within that music and culture there are gay people. Therefore, whether you like it or not, there is a place for homosexuals in hip hop. You don’t need to support their music, there’s plenty of homos and allies who will, but it’s not your place to tell them they don’t belong because you not the gatekeeper to sh*t and you don’t get to decide where another man belongs. If there’s fans who buy it, and listeners who support, there’s a place for it, and you sound old and tired and basically like a hateful bigot trying to suggest otherwise.
He said “we as black men.” LOL. Definitely some white guy from Alaska or some bullshit. POC are surrounded by gay people. They do your moms hair. They work at the liquor store. They were locked up with you. Your P.O. They’re people. Ain’t no one punching shit on anyone. You pay attention to what you want to pay attention to. In your weirdo cosplay ass case, gay people. White boy.
Minorities need to stick together, the LBGTQ is a minority community, supported by the majority (of sane people at least). Hip-hop is a minority culture, supported by the majority. Hip-hop community listen up: you cant have the cake and eat it too. You cant talk about ”we need social justice for us” and then go and say ”why you mad we dont support yall” about the next minority group. If you bout social justice and acceptance when it benefits you then you better be bout it when it benefits the next minority group. We have no tolerance for hypocrisy in 2021
gtfoh. No sane person supports this ish!!!!
No we don’t. We don’t need you. Apparently it’s y’all trying to be apart of our culture not the other way around. Hip hop was better when it wasn’t mainstream and y’all don’t support us unless somebody dies on camera and even then y’all try to justify our deaths. No thank you, y’all can keep your support.
You are saying Y’all too much. LOL. Definitely some weirdo white guy talking about “we” in hip-hop. You OBVIOUSLY weren’t around back in the day. Chuck D, KRS, Rakim, Dre don’t agree with you dumbass. Sit down and shit up. You’re obviously that Lil pump generation. Wu Tang laughs at your weirdo bigot ass.
Love how the cliche response is to call everyone with a different opinion closeted. If they were closeted, they wouldn’t be arguing against your dumbass points, they’d agree with you. Rather than call someone an insult that technically hurts the community you’re trying so hard to defend, one of you instead make a valid point
*Farts*
“If they were closeted, they wouldn’t be arguing against your dumbass points, they’d agree with you”. Alot of closeted people are so ashamed they practice self hate. That dude who shot up that gay club in Orlando a few years back was closeted. Some of those pastors who went hard against gays and wound being caught up in same sex scandals were closeted
Yeah. It’s proven psychology. If I hate chocolate, and I’ll I do is talk shot about people who like chocolate. I go out of my way to keep talking about how wrong chocolate is. How they keep pushing chocolate on people. You’d probably think… this motherfucker wants to suck off some chocolate. You’re too stupid to form a coherent sentence, so we understand you don’t get it. It’s too obvious and simple.
All I hear is flatulence when T.I. opens his mouth to speak…
Promoting drugs – OKAY. Promoting guns and violance – OKAY. Objectying women – OKAY. Not giving a fuck about others’ sexual habits – OH SHIT YOU HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT. Btw I hate Lil Nas X. He’s a culture vulture. I hate DaBaby, too. He’s a talentless nobody. I hate TI as well. Overhyped, arrogant motherfucker with zero good songs. I, as a straight adult male, am not interested in what do you do in the bedroom.
Nice to see someone else who actually gives a fuck about freedom. Hats off. Salute.
Gays dont belong in hip hop.
*Farts*
But who tf are you? You’re nobody. And what you think don’t mean sh*t. So gays can be wherever they wanna be. Just cuz you’re a hateful mfer and like your hiphop f*g-free does not mean there aren’t gay people who love hiphop, and it doesn’t mean there aren’t heterosexual people who accept them, so your opinion is null and void, because it doesn’t reflect reality. Hiphop reflects reality. The reality is there’s homos everywhere, and they here to stay. So why wouldn’t there be gays in hiphop? Cuz YOU said so? You ain’t sh*t.
Maybe when the hip hop culture and the black community stop taking from the gay community, then just maybe THEY will get out of hip hop. Untill then, dont expect them to go anywhere.
The gays ain’t bullying nobody. But you got mfers like TI and Boosie who always feel the need to speak their opinion about the sexual preferences of other men. They claim it’s freedom of speech or whatever and that they should be entitled to it, but they only seem to say things that shame homosexuals and disapprove of them as people. AFAIC, Lil Nas X can do what he wants with other men in his videos because heterosexual artists do the same things in their videos. You shouldn’t shame one group and permit another. Rap used to be VERY homophobic and dudes like this are the remaining dinosaurs of a hateful era, they should be a d need to be told to stfu. Cuz Boosie and TI are acting like victims right now when they can’t get the upper hand but you know damn well if they were in a position of power or on the “winning side” they’d be doing whatever they could to shame, crucify, and get rid of homosexuals in hiphop. Now if you just hate f*gs and your anti-gay, go ahead and say it. That’s at least honest. You’re dead wrong, for your hate, snd for thinking YOU can decide how other people live their personal lives, and your views are antiquated, but at least you’re honest. But don’t front like you’re a victim cuz they ain’t buying your hate speech.
What he said. He said it well. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” That’s the declaration of independence bitches. If a bag full of ducks makes you happy, that’s not illegal, and it’s your right. You aren’t hurting anyone. Anybody caught up on it probably wants a bag of ducks of their own.
my god.
Jesus Christ, stop being so fucking sensitive… surprise! Being a piece of shit against the gay community doesn’t yield good results. Fuckin babies.
TI THE OSWALD BATES OF HIP HOP
