Offset Apologizes To The LGBT Community For Homophobic “I Cannot Vibe With Queers” Lyric
Migos star Offset is feeling the heat after homophobic lyrics he rapped on a feature went viral.
Crystal clear for all to hear, the 26-year-old spat:
“I cannot vibe with queers”
See what we mean below…
Taking to Instagram stories, in a set of entries which have now been deleted, Offset wrote the following. The appalling spelling and grammar are all his:
“tryna make me out to b a homophobic… ima whole gangsta….I don’t even speak on sexuality…
the difinition ain’t even that…tryna make it about gays…I work with them all the time at events dealing with fashion, tv shows.
I wasn’t gone speak on it but i see too many dumb ass MF on here talking about shit they don’t kno..I’m not against nobody…your choice in life.
I have fans that love my music..I don’t descriminate & don’t speak on politics or sexuality. the actual meaning ima post it from google
I do not judge people..I been in front the real judge and they judged me and sentenced me. I’m here to bring people together with fun music. Culture 2 OTW.”
All of a sudden the shockingly poor spelling and grammar take a more professional turn and tone, leaving s wondering whether someone else intervened. It read:
“I apologise to anybody I offended by the world “queer”..
I was not referring to sexuality. I was referring to my reality of not hanging
around people that wanna post me and stalk me..sorry it was taken as the wrong content. only God can judge. I don’t.
I love all of my fans no matter race sexuality”
Bye.
The fact he attempts the age-old practice of trying to make this about how “out of context” people took his words makes the whole episode worse. And ultimately null and voids any such apology from the jump.
While his writing casts doubt over his intellect, we highly doubt he’s that mentally divorced from reality to not know how his words would be taken.
From where we’re sitting, he got taken to task for an offensive lyric on the cusp of an album release and is executing poor damage control.

Supermodel Tyler Sebago will take on the coveted role of red-carpet host at the 21st Annual South Bay Music Awards, at the iconic Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, California, on December 1, 2024. Sebago’s will interview an impressive lineup of legendary rock artists, including members from bands like Great White, Metallica, Dokken, Quiet Riot, KISS, and Autograph, as well as a range of multi-platinum award-winning songwriters and producers.
Sebago shared his excitement about the event: “I grew up listening to these bands, studying their artform, and appreciating the subtlety in their larger-than-life persona. It’s such an honor to be asked to delve into their lives and legendary careers, and I am thrilled to be invited to such a prestigious table.”
Since its inception in 2003, the South Bay Music Awards has grown from a simple idea written on a napkin to a major event celebrating independent music. The annual awards show has become a cornerstone of the music industry, offering independent artists a vital platform to showcase their talent and gain the recognition they deserve.
The 21st edition of the South Bay Music Awards will not only commemorate more than two decades of excellence in the industry but also pay tribute to the late Jack Russell, a founding member of Great White and GRAMMY Award® winner. The tribute will honor his lasting influence on the music world, with a special performance by a tribute band featuring notable musicians such as Sean McNabb (Producer’s Choice Bass Player of the Year), Roni Lee (Producer’s Choice Female Vocalist of the Year), and Ronny North (Producer’s Choice Guitarist of the Year). Russell’s contributions have sold nearly 20 million albums throughout his career, further cementing his legacy in rock history.
This year’s event will also showcase the theme “Bringing the Beach to the Sunset Strip,” combining the relaxed, laid-back vibe of California’s beaches with the energy of the famous Sunset Strip. With tickets selling fast, both General Admission and VIP passes are available for those looking to attend what promises to be a star-studded celebration of independent music.
