It wasn’t too long ago that T.I. was talking about trying to keep himself out of unnecessary drama by distancing himself from media hot head Iggy Azalea. But it seems Tip didn’t follow his own advice because he dropped himself in hot water this week when he claimed he wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton or any woman to be president because they’re too emotional.
Tip made the comment during a recent interview with DJ Whoo Kid, saying that America isn’t ready for a female president.
“Not to be sexist but, I can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman,” he said. “Just because, every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But the president? It’s kinda like, I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally – they make very permanent, cemented decisions – and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke. [Other leaders] will not be able to negotiate the right kinds of foreign policy; the world ain’t ready yet. I think you might be able to the Lochness Monster elected before you could [get a woman].”
Tip then implied that controversial White House hopeful Donald Trump might be a better candidate than Clinton.
“He’s interesting and I feel he’s the best showman of them all. And I do feel that if he is sincerely concerned about the economy of America and the working public, he would be the best person to flip the money that we have […] But you know, his racist remarks and all of his off-color statements and all that s— it makes it impossible to be completely supportive of him. But just knowing what he’s done for business for himself, if he intends to do that for America, it would be beneficial. But I can’t cast no vote for him,” Tip said.
Not surprisingly, fans across the Internet were angry with Tip over his comments and chose to blast him online for shading Clinton and millions of women around the globe.
However, Tip hopped on Twitter yesterday and proceeded to apologize to his fans:
