Perspektives with Bank
Young Thug says he doesn’t trust people putting on a facade … especially men who come out as gay after they’ve already struck up a friendship.
The rapper made the controversial comments on the “Perspektives with Bank” podcast … equating informing the cops about someone with coming out as gay after first claiming to be straight.

It’s a convoluted argument … but, essentially, Thug says if you present yourself one way — a straight man in this case — and later come out, then he’s not rocking with you anymore.
YT says he doesn’t care if he meets a gay man, and they tell him they’re gay … it’s changing Thug’s perception by coming out that he’s just not comfortable with.
Thug tries to say multiple times he isn’t homophobic … adding he hopes members of the LGBTQ+ community know he’s on their side, and claiming he’s got employees who are gay, so he can’t be homophobic.

However, a few times he does seem to make a distinction between being gay and being a man. For instance, he says, “If I look at you like a man, and we f***ing bitches together — girls together — and we doing certain s***, and I look at you in a man light and then I find out you gay there ain’t really nothing you can say to me.”
It seems Thug’s trying to make a point about false appearances … but, quite frankly, it’s coming off homophobic here — no matter how much Thug tries to say he’s an ally.
We’ve reached out to Young Thug to try and clarify his comments here … so far, no word back.
