Timbaland recently received a whirlwind of backlash after the renowned producer shared a meme containing an image from a scene from Eddie Murphy’s Coming To America film.
The meme replaces the name Clay – which was actually used in the film – to Bruce, so it is relative to Bruce Jenner’s recent sex/name change to Caitlyn Jenner.
“His Momma named him Bruce. Imma call him Bruce” it reads.
In the caption, Timbaland wrote:
“This was a repost I thought was funny I’m not making fun of him I support him but stop it we can all laugh sometime dammmmm it’s just a dam repost someone sent to me !!!!!”
Many did not view Timbaland‘s repost in a laughing matter. Instead, he was accused of being insensitive toward Jenner and the transgender community. As headlines began to surface surrounding Timbaland’s Instagram post, Timbo took to Twitter to clear the air.
“boy some of the media outlets have so many fooled. let me explain this cause i see they are putting up their own headlines to deceive alot of you guys,” he wrote via Twitter. “this is what happen. i saw a meme post and repost it cause i seen the movie in the post and thought that part of the movie was one of the funniest parts. and somebody decide to take out clay which was said in the movie and put bruce. thats it i didnt make the meme that was posted or said publicly what the meme said. Man i find it funny you can take a something reposted and say “Timbaland said” in the headlines. But nevertheless that is the story but i doubt they will post this. Not interesting enough for them. now back to my lovely day. i just had to tell the story the correct way. now what u think after that is what u think. i already stated i have nothing against him or anybody who have made that decision. i said that right after he did the interview. publicly what the media need 2 post is some of the fresh, new talent i repost on my instagram page. thats what the world need to see, show them that.

jenner gonna rake in half a billion off y’all hypocritical morality……this is how gullible the masses are
It doesn’t seem real how every one is falling for and defending this confused man
this is not confusion it’s a well thought of plan
People aren’t even allowed to point out how weird and funny this is? Not everything needs to be empowering, it’s an old ex-athlete who mutilated his genitals and grew his hair out. We’re all allowed to think it’s odd. Cause it is.
Thank You!!!
It’s really fucked up to be livin’ in a society where shit gers forced down on you to the point where you MUST accept it or else. And although I don’t care what personal sexual preferred decisions a person decides, it becomes a problem to me when it gets glorified and forced down my consciousness as an alright or normal thing to go against the natural sexual design of humanity.
This gay shit gotta stop. It’s like the media and music is tryin to make this shit all trendy and acceptable. And if you resist accepting it in any way then you’re the one with the problem!? Fuck that. The world is fucked up and too damn weak to even realize it.
Goes to show you Amerikkka cares more about effeminizing males and pushing a gay agenda down your throat ,its more important then blacks dying. They calling this dude a hero gtfoh
Gay’s and Transgender people are the only minorities that matter in this country. Anybody that supports this stuff is a bigot. We have racism, homelessness, wars, etc to deal with. Stop pushing this crap down our throat.
If these homo-lovers really cared about “human rights” they woulnd’t let the other minorities suffer, for example black people and hispanics. They would actually fight to stop wars and homesless, instead of fighting for their right to marry a homo or get funding to change his body into a women.
Many are following a blind ideology instead of their instinct and reasoning. The media brainwashes people. Why on earth would you support mentally disturbed people to alter their face, body and hormones? Bruce Jenner wasn’t one of those natural born babies that had a male organ and a female organ, hermaphrodites. And even that is not natural, it is caused by man-made chemicals that affect babies in their womb and literally change them.
Bruce was born a man and brainwashed into thinking he’s a woman. I dont support this mentally ill stuff. You see how the media tries to shove this down our throat? so what? he turned into a woman why do you give him so much exposure??? What is your Agenda here?
You are not going to make the world think that Mentally ill people like Bruce Jenner are OK. IT’s not ok
You are so spot ON!
whoever been on this site at least 1 year knows I’ve been telling people about media. miss-representation is a great documentary and it’s crazy how the title fits in with this “news”.
Im glad he didn’t apologize. He made a joke. Just like Bruce Jenner is. A fucking joke. I’m 100% not with that shit. Its ab-fucking-normal. Dude used to be an American hero. Atleast he made 2 smoking hot daughters.
I lose respect for people who says thinks rather in post or raps. And because someone don’t share the view or get the artistry. They back track and apologize. Mean while Tom hanks sons on the net saying nigga, and whatever else he want too.
Have an opinion, and don’t apologize for it.
