The social media backlash for rapper T.I. starts in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..
The rapper is speaking out on his thought on the 2016 Presidential race and what he is saying might rub some folks the wrong way. During an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, T.I. shared his thoughts on Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and why he doesn’t think she would be good as the potential 45th President.
“Not to be sexist but, I can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman,” he said. “Just because, every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But the president? It’s kinda like, I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally – they make very permanent, cemented decisions – and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke. [Other leaders] will not be able to negotiate the right kinds of foreign policy; the world ain’t ready yet. I think you might be able to the Lochness Monster elected before you could [get a woman].”
He also says that Donald Trump would however be a good candidate based on his background in business but says that his racist commentary is hard to see past.
“He’s interesting and I feel is the best showman of them all. And I do feel that if he is sincerely concerned about the economy of America and the working public, he would be the best person to flip the money that we have […] But you know, his racist remarks and all of his off-color statements and all that s**t it makes it impossible to be completely supportive of him. But just knowing what he’s done for business for himself, if he intends to do that for America, it would be beneficial. But I can’t cash no vote for him.”
Update: Following his less than smart statement, TIP took to Twitter to apologize to all he offended.
