Rap trio Migos think “the world is f**k*d up” for supporting fellow hip-hop artist iLoveMakonnen’s coming out.
iLoveMakonnen, best known for his 2014 hit single “Tuesday,” came out on Twitter in January.
And since y’all love breaking news, here’s some old news to break, I’m gay. And now I’ve told u about my life, maybe u can go life yoursā¤
ā American Makonnen (@iLoveMakonnen5D) January 20, 2017
While the 27-year-old rapper’s tweet received more than 29,000 favorites, Migos didn’t agree with the positivity. In a profile written byĀ journalist Jonah Weiner for Rolling Stone, Migos was asked about their opinion on iLoveMakonnen’s announcement.
“All are wildly different MCs, illustrating the ādiversityā that Quavo says is one of the things he most loves about Atlanta. And so Iām surprised by Migosā reaction when I mention iLoveMakonnen, the local MC who just came out as gay on Twitter,” Weiner writes.
āāDamn, Makonnen!ā Quavo bellows after an awkward interlude. I mention support I saw online for Makonnenās decision. āThey supported him?ā Quavo asks, raising an eyebrow. āThatās because the world is fucked up,ā says Offset. āThis world is not right,ā Takeoff says. āWe aināt saying itās nothing wrong with the gays,ā says Quavo. But he suggests that Makonnenās sexuality undermines his credibility, given the fact that āhe first came out talking about trapping and selling Molly, doing all that.ā He frowns. āThatās wack, bro,'” the story continues.
After the profile began circulating, Migos issued a statement via Twitter that they are supportive of iLoveMakonnen’s decision to come out.
