Last week, Offset got a lot of people angry when he used the word "queers" in his YFN Lucci's "Boss Life" verse. Now, his fiancรฉe, Cardi B, is defending him.
In a Periscope video, Cardi said: โIโm not going to let somebody call him โhomophobicโ when I know that heโs not. And Iโm saying this because I seen him around theseโฆaround gays, and he treats them with the same respect he treats everybody. He never acts uncomfortable and he just donโt care.โ
That's when she admitted that when she first heard his lyrics, Cardi called Offset and asked him why he would use the word "queers" in his verse, in the first place. The "Bodak Yellow" rapper said that her fiance had no idea that the word had a gay meaning. โIt has a different vocabulary on the dictionary,โ she said. โNow, thatโs a word that you guys say that itโs a bad word for gaysโI never even heard that word in the first place."
Cardi added: "Why donโt yโall educate people about it? A lot of people are not aware about whatโs wrong or right in the LGBT community. Why donโt we do things to educate instead of bashing and trying to label something that they not?" See video of the "Bartier Cardi" rapper speaking about this below.
After getting slammed for his lyrics, Offset later apologized. He said on IG: "When I wrote that I was thinking of words that could rhyme with the others (here, lear, solitaire, bear) and I saw this definition about her having a queer feeling she was being watched and it fit what I was thinking about a stalker creepy paparazzi situation... I'm sorry."
