“It’s stepping up,” Yoga replied. “When people want to shame Mister Cee, or they want to shame Eddie Murphy, or they want to shame Teddy Pendergrass, or they want to shame folk because of their association with folks, I just felt like, ‘Who else is gon’ be willing to put a target on their back?’”
Mister Cee was ran off Hot 97 in 2013 for allegedly paying transgender prostitutes for oral sex. Murphy was allegedly caught riding around with a transgender prostitute in 1997. And Pendergrass was paralyzed when he was involved in a car crash with an alleged transgender in 1982.
One critic said, “Eddie Murphy somewhere minding his business then boom Malik Yoba like Eddie Murphy like transwomen too don’t forget about him.”
“It’s definitely not Malik Yoba’s place to call out Eddie Murphy [and] his relations with people,” another Twitter user added.
“Why he throwing other people business out there?” a third wondered.
“Why [did] he tell Eddie Murphy tea like that?” asked another person. “I can’t.”
One Twitter user facetiously said that Janet Jackson tried to clue us into Yoba’s sexual preferences in the hit movie Why Did I Get Married? when she had a transgender pop out of a birthday cake.
