Rapper Tells Anti-Gay Haters to “Relax” After Doing Drag in Video
Lil Yachty isn't here for homophobes.
In his new “Oprah’s Bank Account” video, which features Drake and DaBaby, the 22-year-old rapper clowns around as a female talk show host named Boprah, rocking a wig, dresses, makeup, jewelry, and heels. It's a look!
But not everybody is getting the gag. Many people have expressed their disgust with Lil Yachty's Oprah drag in angry tweets filled with anti-gay slurs.
"I’m convinced lil yachty is gay... why would he dress like Oprah lost me," one fan tweeted.
"That n*gga lil yachty a whole fag for what he did," wrote another.
"It’s gay and he has a influence over young minds, he’s subjecting them tho that behavior thus normalizing it... that’s not cool," another Twitter user argued.
"In my opinion you don’t need to wear no dresses or wings to sell," tweeted another, adding, "how I’m suppose to take this."
"Bitch it’s just supposed to be entertaining... it ain’t even that deep, y’all N*gga’s so in denial with y’all masculinity shit like this bother y’all.. relax," Lil Yachty finally responded.
The Georgia-born artist also called out the ridiculousness of a white man who wrote, "You are Bi. Dressed up as a damn woman you done let the black community down."
Lil Yachty made headlines in 2017 when he wore a rainbow-colored grill and included a gay couple kissing on the cover of his album Teenage Emotions.
“If you have vitiligo or if you’re gay or whatever it is, embrace yourself,” he said, responding to critics. “Love yourself. Be happy, positive.”
