One would think that Mr. Green would have learned his lesson from our poor guy Tracy Morgan and his whole so-called “I’d stab my son if he were gay” stint (smh), but no, he just had to open his mouth and realized too little, too late the repercussions of his actions. Now The “F–k You” singer has taken it back to twitter again (he still hasn’t learned) and attempted to apologize twice by writing a half, semi-sorry explanation, in a way that still seemed as if he thought there was nothing wrong with what he said : “Apologies gay community! What was homophobic about that? I said I was guessing he [was] gay which is fine but its nice to [know] what u think of me.” To no surprise, shortly after he said that, he deleted the tweet. To make matters worse, reports confirm that the critic whom he thought was a man questioning his masculinity, was indeed a female—strike three, you’re out Green!
Anyway, continuing in the “sorry” footsteps of Tracy Morgan , The ATLien, Dungeon Family member then released a statement further explaining his rant. He continued on about being a liberal artist who is in no way a homophobe. (He says he actually works with gay people!) And as if he could afford to put his foot in his mouth any further, he goes on in his “official statement” to say that he had no clue what gender the critic was and that he was just being “outspoken” in the moment when he tweeted.
“I most certainly am not harboring any sort of negative feeling toward the gay community. I don’t have an opinion on people with different religious, sexual or political preferences. I’m one of the most liberal artists that I think you will ever meet, and I pride myself on that. Two of the remaining members that I have on my team on The Voice are proud and outspokenly gay. We just did a team performance of ‘Everyday People’ and I picked that song for us to do specifically to highlight how we can get along even though we’re so different.”
On that note, as the strings (violins) play, God bless the child who keeps on talking and can’t keep his mouth closed for his own…good!
