Young Thug shared his thoughts on the gay community during an appearance on recent episode of a podcast called Perspektives with Bank. The Atlanta rapper found a way to tie his feelings about Gunna, a rapper signed to his YSL Records label, who took a plea deal in the high-profile racketeering case against Thug's label. Because of this, Gunna has been labeled a "rat" by other rappers and Thug felt betrayed by the rapper's decision to take the deal.
During Thug's most recent podcast appearance, he likened Gunna's actions to being gay. "I feel like once you break a rule from your manhood, once you rat or once you turn gay," the rapper said as he repeatedly stated that he doesn't have an issue with gay people and that he has queer employees. "If I look at you, if I meet you and you gay, itās like, āOkay.ā If I meet you and you portraying that you a man and youāre not gay ā I donāt got nothing against gay people. You know what Iām saying? If youāre portraying a certain thingā¦ā
Thug then goes on to continue saying, "I canāt look at you the same," and attempts to explain his thought process by saying that he takes issue with deception. āI hate that I even brought it up, because I donāt even want the LGTB, I donāt even want that community to even think Iām against them. Iām overly with yāall for it," he said.
The rapper tries to triple down on his explanation and said that if he were having a threesome with a guy and he came out as gay, he would be upset. "āIf I look at you like a man and we fucking bitches together, girls together, and we doing certain shit together, Iām looking at you in a man light,ā he continued. "Then I find out you gay, it aināt really nothing you can say to me. Iāmma just look at you like you broke a man code.ā
This is not the first time the rapper has made controversial comments about the queer community. Back in 2020, he deliberately misgendered Dwayne Wade's daughter, Zaya, in a since-deleted tweet and said, "All I wanna say to Dwayneās son is: āGod donāt make mistakes,'" adding, "But, hey, live your true self.ā
