iLoveMakonnen Responds To Migos’ Gay Criticism – “They Shout Out Versace…He’s The Gayest”

iLoveMakonnen Talks Migos’ Gay Comments iLoveMakonnen is speaking out on the Migos’ apparent issue with all the support he’s received since stating the obvious coming out of the closet a few months ago . Makonnen sat down with The Fader and opened up on how he felt about the Migos’ comments. When asked about what Migos had to say about his coming out, Makonnen says their viewpoints clearly differ: [They said] some comments like, “World’s f*cked up.” My world, that I was living in, was f*cked up for me. That’s all I can say to clear those comments up like that. My world. The world itself is a beautiful place. It’s a natural habitat where people can live at. He also spoke on the Migos indicating that he couldn’t rap/sing about trappiness, since he’s gay and all. Apparently, gayness and drug merchandising don’t mix… If we look back at the track record, I thought it was “my friend Makonnen teaching me how to whip it.” I thought he was “my friend.” But you see how friends do in interviews. So it’s like, Oh well. With friends like these, who needs enemies. And now you gotta come back with some sorry a** excuse. Nah. That’s only cause you got the #1 record and you didn’t wanna f*ck it up. But overall, he doesn’t think that Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff have any problems with gay people…judging by their subject matter: Hell nah, they ain’t got no problem with gay people! They fuckin’ song is “Versace”! Like, the fuck! Nigga, [Gianni] Versace is the gayest nigga. They ain’t got issues with him, why they got issues with me? To be fair (we guess?), Migos seemed to be shouting out the BRAND moreso than Gianni Versace himself. But hey Makonnen, whatever you say. What do you think of Makonnen’s clapback? WENN

Sharon Osbourne Slams Justin Bieber: You’re Not Black!

Sharon Osbourne is featured in a new interview with The Daily Beast, going off on a number of topics and celebrities. But we have a feeling the opinion that will resonate most loudly with THG readers will Osbourne’s view of Justin Bieber, given the singer’s recent run of scandals and outrageous behavior. “I feel really bad for him,” Osbourne said of the 19-year old. “There’s this little kid with a huge dream, he’s cute, girls love him, and he wants to be a mean boy, and he’s about as mean as a f**kin’ kitten, and he’s trying to act out. “It’s like pissing in a bucket . It’s like, ‘Oh, we’re the bad boys!’ F**k off! You don’t know what bad is.” Sharon went on to label Justin as “lost” and concluded: “I think he doesn’t realize he’s white and not black, that’s a huge problem. And, at the point he’s at in his career, it’s so dangerous because we’ve seen it all before a million times. Where do you go when you’re a child entertainer and then you want to transition to be a man? Very few make it.” Let’s all hope The Biebs is among the minority in that case. Among Osbourne’s many other viewpoints: On the Anthony Wiener penis scandal: “I’d like to slap him. You’re a grown man with a great education, and you think, in this day and age, you can send pictures of your penis over the Internet and not get caught?” On Kanye West: “I have no time for him. He bores me. I said it on the show, he’s an average-looking man with an average talent, but he’s a great salesman. He should sell cars because they would f**kin’ fly out the door.” Osbourne is also a huge fan of Barbara Walters , labeling her an “amazing woman,” of Taylor Swift (she’s “brilliant”) and Justin Timberlake (“the best all-around”). Visit The Daily Beast now for the full Q&A with Osbourne and sound off: Do you think Justin Bieber will make it?

Liberal Radio Host Asks Christian Conservative: ‘How Many More Children Will Have to Die Before You Guys Back Off?’

Nationally syndicated liberal radio host Thom Hartmann is no Keith Olbermann — he’s not allergic to conservatives on his show. But that doesn’t mean he’s kind, or even fair. Focus on the Family has a new “True Tolerance” campaign focused on stopping school bullying — against everyone — but without programs that promote moral acceptance of homosexuality. FOTF’s Candi Cushman appeared on CNN this week to debate this, but Anderson Cooper wasn’t half as rough as Hartmann on Thursday afternoon. He mentioned that gay teens are much more likely to attempt suicide than straight teens and then just asked Cushman, point blank: “How many more children will have to die before you guys back off?” This, in itself, is a form of bullying. You must accept left-wing lesson plans formulated by Obama “safe schools” czar Kevin Jennings and his group GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) or you favor gay teen suicide. Like a typical liberal, Hartmann wants the liberal, secular worldview on sexuality taught because it’s based on “science” and the opposing conservative view is infected by religion, which must not be allowed to inform a viewpoint anywhere in a public school. He lectured Cushman: The reason why I don’t want your viewpoints promoted in school is, a) they’re not based in science, they’re based in religion, and I believe in a separation of church and state, and b) taken to the extreme, maybe not yours but many of the people in your movement, what they do is they cause more kids to commit suicide…I think that you and the work that you’re doing and the people who you’re associated with are creating an environment that is killing our children.  Hartmann has provided yet another example of how liberal talk radio is not a reasonable or civil space to discuss and debate issues. It’s far too often a forum for mudslinging of the most vicious kind.
