Rapper and music producer T-Pain slammed “homophobic idiots” on Twitter earlier this week, condemning people for misjudging his gay assistant.
The Grammy award-winner posted the remarks on his Twitter account on April 16, after seeing people looking at his assistant in a way that suggested to him “That guy wants my butt”.
He suggested that the kind of people who would believe that a gay man would harass them tended to be “fugly” and “not attractive” to straight women or gay men.
He said:-
Attention all homophobic idiots: if you’re not attractive to straight women, you’re probably not attractive to gay men. You can unclench now

T-Pain later posted a picture on Instagram “In the club with the gayest and best assistant for the stars to touch this earth.”
Earlier in April Snoop Lion, formerly known as Snoop Dog, said he didn’t know if being gay would ever be “acceptable” in the rap industry “because rap is so masculine.” Snoop also confirmed that he supports equal marriage, and said that he has “no issues with nobody”.
