Waka Flocka has a lot of mess to clear up after receiving some major flak from the transgender community and supporters. On Friday, the rapper guested on "The Breakfast Club" of Power 105.1, according to a report from People.
All Hiphop notes that during the interview, the subject of Caitlyn Jenner's transformation came up, and Flocka has some hot statements to say.
"You are who you are when God made you not who you became after her did. That’s just how I feel. You’re rebuking God, Man," he said.
Flocka further notes that being transgender is just a "test" from God and a "trick" from the devil. He stated, "God ain’t put them feelings in you, that’s the devil playing tricks on your mind. That’s a test from God. If you can’t out-beat that one task and you believe that, then you believe that and you're going down that way.”
The report further notes that Flocka concluded the interview with some raunchy statements, saying that young guys "afraid" of being men and women afraid to take the role of a wife is "what's wrong with the world."
According to People, during the interview, co-host Charlamagne Tha God even made a remark against the rapper's comment, saying that "transgenders can be young girls, too." However, the 29-year-old rapper continued, "It's really evil, dog. Nothing against that. Evil is marketed. I ain't got nothing against anybody's preferences, but putting it on TV, that's crazy, man."
After the interview was aired, Flocka received a lot of negative reactions from people. He then went on Twitter to defend his stand. In one tweet, he said, "So now I'm #Homophobic because I don't agree with #CatlinJenner Smh."
In another tweet, the rapper wrote, "Real people respect real s*** not headlines #WakaFlockaFlame."
People noted that what Flocka said was surprising because in his music career, it can be remembered that he collaborated with Kanye West, Kim Kardashian's husband who has opposite opinions with Flocka.
In the premiere of Jenner's reality show, "I Am Cait," Kanye supported Jenner with some encouraging words. He said, "I think this is one of the strongest things that has happened in our, you know, existence as human beings that are so controlled by perception. You couldn't have been up against more. Like, your daughter is a supermodel, you’re a celebrity, you have every type of thing, and it was still like, 'F— everybody, this is who I am.'"
