Rapper Lil B sent out a rather distasteful tweet about the transgender community that he quickly regretted, leading him to admit that he is 'transphobic.'
"I might start saying I'm trans and I'm a woman so I can be in the girls Lockerroom with the ladies!!!!" he wrote in the original tweet. "No homo I'm still growin."
After receiving a ton of criticism for the tweet, The Based God, as he calls himself, decided to apologize, according to MTV News.
"Ok well I already got enough backlash so I feel bad now and I apologize to all humans and I see that everyone goes thru struggles," he tweeted. "I got love for the gays! I got love for humans want to attract more good people and women that love me! Not men turned women L"
He then realized his original tweet had offended the trans community, not just the gay community, in more ways than just the way he thought, and, again, quickly continued on after one fan took the time to explain to him that there was a difference between the two. He revealed that he is still growing, but will always have respect for humans.
"It's all about learning and accepting and being comfortable with self I think I'm insecure," he said. "I love everyone who loves and finds themselves and being gay is being brave! Just live ur life I'm not the judge. Literally."
He then went on to admit that he is transphobic. As someone who was just confused about the whole thing, it took a lot for him to admit and apologize for all of this.
"I need help to learn to accept I'm scared because I'm not comfortable with my self I love u I love born girls," he said. "I wanna say I love you and apologize for that transphobic comment I made today and shows how immature and insensitive I am."
