Waka Flocka Flame Defends Caitlyn Jenner Comments (TWEETS)

Waka Flocka Flame is standing by his comments about Caitlyn Jenner.

During on interview on Power 105.1's "The Breakfast Club," the 29-year-old Atlanta-based rapper, born Juaquin James Malphurs, made a few enemies after he made some controversial statements regarding the reality star's lifestyle and the transgender community.

Although, part of Flocka's rant was based on religion, saying that the transgender community is being tricked by the devil - the rapper also shared concern over the influence that the transgender community has on children.

"You know what the world is today, man? Women are afraid to be a wife and young males are afraid to be men," he explained to the show's hosts. "It's like it's not cool, they're not marketing that. They don't market families and husbands and wives no more. They're marketing young girls [and] transgenders. They're marketing evil, man. I ain't got nothing against anybody's preferences, but putting it on TV, that's crazy, man."

"[I am not] saying nothing against, like, a Bruce Jenner," he continued. "You are who you are when God made you, not who you became after he did. That's how I just feel. You rebuking God. God ain't put those feelings in you, that's the devil playing tricks on your mind. That's a test from God."

Many critics stamped the rapper's interview as heavily transphobic. After his comments made headlines, Flocka took to his Twitter to defend his comments, telling fans that he is not homophobic, just a concerned father.

"So now I'm homophobic because I don't agree with #CatlinJenner smh," he tweeted. "Real people respect real s--t not headlines #WackFlockaFlame."

A day later, Flocka continued to defend himself via Twitter, writing, "I have nothing against transgender people. I simply feel we need to be careful what our children see as 'sensationalized.' Children's brains are a constant development to adulthood. And they pay attention to everything whether we want to accept it or not. I'm A Father Now So I Look At Life A Lot Differently."

The rapper also re-tweeted over dozen tweets of fans who supported his comments on Jenner. Flocka blasted the media over-sailing his story to make money but said he was standing by his previous comments.

"I'm not homophobic I have nothing against the gay community. I'm still standing on what I said. I'm not a fan of transgenders marketed like a superhero. I was wrong for using the word #evil I apologize for that and every person I offended #wrongchoiceofwords #Wakaforprez," he added.
