T-Pain Speaks On Frank Ocean, Hip-Hop Homophobia

T-Pain addresses a previous comparison he made concerning Ray J after seeing his sex tape with Kim Kardashian, which led into a conversation about people being homophobic. The “Up Down” rapper believes that “if you aren’t gay, then gay things shouldn’t bother you.”

The conversation then turns to T-Pain’s gay assistant, which the rapper says has made other people uncomfortable to approach him in the club or any time they are together. He believes that there is so much homophobia in hip-hop that it stops people from working with talented artists like Frank Ocean, which T-Pain says is “terrible, because they need Frank Ocean on the song.” The Florida native adds that he doesn’t work with anyone who’s homophobic in the business and who cut others off over the way they want to live their lives.

From Vlad TV:

T-Pain elaborates on why he said he wouldn’t buy Kanye West a gift after the birth of his daughter, explaining that when he was working on “808’s & Heartbreak,” Kanye penned a diss track aimed at specifically at him. To make matters worse, he reveals that the “Mercy” rapper got the entire studio to join in on the song while T-Pain sat in agony.

The “Up Down” rapper also shares his thoughts on Kanye’s line of Confederate flag clothing that was sold during his “Yeezus” tour, explaining that he’s not too worked up over it. Being from Florida, T-Pain claims that he wore Confederate shirts when he was younger because they were cheaper, adding that he’s from a younger generation that wasn’t concerned with the meaning of the flag.
