Cardi B DEFENDS Offset After Homophobic Lyric Controversy

More Celebrity News ►►
Cardi B is coming to her fiancée Offset’s defense after he rapped a homophobic lyric in a song he was featured on.
Uh oh… this is NOT good.
Migos rapper Offset was recently featured in the song “Boss Life” by YFN Lucci, and he quickly came under fire for being homophobic because of one particularly disturbing lyric that made us all scratch our heads.
In the song, Offset raps, QUOTE, “I cannot vibe with queers,” which pretty clearly seems like a homophobic slur, if you ask us. However, when the problematic lyric was brought to Offset’s attention on social media, he quickly apologized, but also explained that the use of the word “queer” was not being used with the intentions of being a homophobic slur at all. Yikes.
And even though it’s hard to believe how he, or anyone else can be so oblivious as to why that word choice is problematic, his fiancé Cardi B came to his defense this weekend, saying that some people just aren’t educated on which words are and aren’t okay to use.
Cardi went live on Periscope on Saturday night, explaining that despite what people have been saying, Offset is NOT homophobic. She said, QUOTE, “I’m not going to let somebody call him ‘homophobic’ when I know that he’s not. And I’m saying this because I seen him around these … around gays, and he treats them with the same respect he treats everybody.”
Also in the livestream, Cardi said that Offset was actually completely unaware that the word had any homophobic implications at all!
Regardless of whether or not Offset was truly aware of the words meaning remains unclear, but what is clear is Cardi’s message that instead of bashing people for using slurs, we should instead be educating them about why these words are bad, because some people were never taught why certain words are not okay to use.
Well, what do you guys think of Cardi B coming to Offset’s defense? Are you buying it that he really didn’t know that the lyric wasn’t appropriate?
