AceShowbiz - Yung Joc has expressed remorse over his latest comment. Having faced criticism for saying he turned down $250,000 to perform at an LBGTQ+ event, the "It's Going Down" rapper issued a public apology to the community and clarified his previous remark.
While speaking on his radio show "Streetz Morning Takeover", the 43-year-old said, "I have friends of that community in real life." He added, "Now I have performed in front of a LGBTQ crowd but it was women, something that I basically said in the full interview that I was comfortable with so people are upset."
"My apologies to the community on that behalf by not saying in front of a lesbian crowd," the emcee, whose real name is Jasiel Amon Robinson, continued. "I said LGBTQ because I get condemned if I address you wrong."
Joc made his previous comment during a sit-down with Vlad TV. "Let's be clear... If you've never had a quarter of a million dollars, then this seems hard to believe. If you don't understand what a quarter of a million dollars really looks like in today's society, then, it would be hard for you to believe if you understand the foundation of not being bought," he said at the time.
"Ain't nobody ever gave me $250,000 for a show, ever in my career. Don't get me wrong, if somebody called me today, 'Yo, man. We'll give you a quarter-million'…Nah, I may not do it either," he further explained. "It's not that I have nothing against the LGBTQ people. But I just may not understand. I may not be in the know enough to feel comfortable enough to do this. Nah, because I don't want to start doing that. Maybe I don't want to be comfortable with this lifestyle. Is that OK?"
Young Joc concluded, "I may not be comfortable with this man rapping this song and this man is looking at me with lustful eyes with his nipples out and lipstick on rapping my lyrics to me."
