In a recent interview with The Stashed, rapper A$AP Rocky kinda apologized for his demeanor when he introduced Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ live performance alongside gay NBA player Jason Collins at the August VMAs.
“I’m mad that my facial expressions was like that because I’m not homophobic at all, and that whole thing just came off real homophobic. I didn’t really notice it until I got home and saw it. I apologize to Jason for that, because people was laughing and s–t, and you know… I really don’t think that’s funny. I saw they were making all the memes and pictures and making fun of him. There’s people out there that think I was doing that to be funny, and truthfully I got gay people in my family. I don’t give a f–k if you gay or you not, I just found it odd that MTV wanted to stand me next to this n—a when they are talking about gay people, that’s all. You know what I’m saying?”
Okay….
The song “Same Love” featuring Mary Lambert supports marriage equality. Unfortunately, things got awkward when A$AP spoke: “The next artist is a good friend of mine and he stands up for everything he believes in as far as everybody being equal: color,” then he paused and pointed at Jason and said “homosexuality!”
SMH….
