Migos has been on top of the world since the turn of the year.
After laying claim to their first chart-topping single with ‘Bad & Boujee,’ the success of the viral tune helped boost its parent album – ‘Culture’ – to the top of the Billboard 200 (where it can be found this week). But, as many-an-act can tell you, there’s no high that can’t come to a swift end thanks to a PR disaster. And, if the recent Twitter response to some controversial comments made by the Atlantan trio is any indication, they could be headed in that negative direction.
That’s right, after Rolling Stone magazine highlighted the rappers’ newfound success, the ‘Fight Night’ emcees took time to weigh in on singer/rapper ILoveMakonnen‘s recent decision to come out the closet:
“Damn Makonnen!” said Quavo, seemingly surprised at the support his “Whip It (Remix)” co-star received. “They supported him?” Offset, another group member, added: “That’s because the world is fucked up.” Takeoff, the third group member, chimed in: “This world is not right.
“We ain’t saying it’s nothing wrong with the gays,” says Quavo. But he suggests that Makonnen’s sexuality undermines his credibility, given the fact that “he first came out talking about trapping and selling Molly, doing all that.”
He frowns. “That’s wack, bro.”
” – Rolling Stone, 2017
Needless to say, this didn’t sit well with many-a-Migos supporter. Read the response inside and get into the group’s apology for the hoopla:
Migos: Makonnen being gay is “fucked up”

After the ruckus, Migos took to Twitter to apologize:
Your thoughts?
Migos is wack as hell…and their best known song is Versace, who is a gay fashion ICON, known all over the WORLD…Migos is LOCAL as a STATE FAIR…just roll over the few physicals they sold with a MACK TRUCK and call it a day lol
What’s wrong with being local? Hip hop isn’t that popular outside of America and Migos has hits for DAYS here. Stay mad!!!
Girl Please i bet one or two of them are at least bi or gay themselves thats why they they made such a big fake fuss about this sexuality issue.. Trying to keep people from knowing theyr secrets lives. Hmmmm
Having the number one album in the country isn’t local
Many albums go #1 in the United States and people still don’t know who they are…I know you was being cute, but let’s keep it real…Keri Hilson is local as the STATE FAIR TOO lol
lol how Miss Keri Baby gonna get dragged to filth outta left field in this comment section HAHAHA
I guess that would make Keri Hilson local then.
Does your fave know anything about having a #1 Billboard 200 album???
Who are these girls again, all I know is that they sing bad and bougie… The end, we don’t need to know about y’all personal sexcapades with one another behind scenes, its so cliche now
Good for you f**. They have SEVERAL urban hits so stay pressed.
Hits don’t mean the music is good.
Why is him being gay such a big deal.
It’s disgusting that, why.
your mom not aborting you when she had the chance was equally disgusting- still, a big deal was not made….
Homosexuality is abhorrent and depraved. Anyone who engages in or in any way supports it is vile, degenerate and non-human. This includes you, apparently. Give me your address and I’ll mail you a razor blade, a pen and a blank note to, you know…
Am I supposed to know who any of these clowns are? This is like reading some foreign language.
Lol I know right? I just realized that Migos is three people…I thought quavo was a solo artist? I don’t know…oh and I’ve never heard that song called ‘tuesday’ by that mak guy, I listen to real music.
Their song is dumb, generic and played out. Who cares what these southern bumpkin, hood rats think about the gays.
Fauk that, who is that last dude in the tweet screenshot “jamzLdn”?
I don’t know ANY of these people…
We ain’t learned to write proper English. We only apologized because we wanna stay popular. We’re from the hood, so we automatically assume there couldn’t be any gays selling drugs. We’re peddling stereotypes. ? ??
This is why I don’t f*ck with Trap or Hiphop like that. I really want to like it but BS like this & not to mention the sexism and homophobia. I just Can’t have that type of negativity in my life. #GirlBye
its funny people can talk sh” bout blacks all day but some1 doesn’t agree with the gay lifestyle their all of a sudden shunned, esp in the entertainment field. At the end of the day straight ppl get your own stuff like the gays do cause all I see is them tryna blacklist ppl for their opinion not the real bigots who sign their checks every week and yall who buy all them gay racist fashion designers stuff ur continuing your oppression and disenfranchisement because that money you give to them only puts them in better positions to control your destiny.
Wow, do they really feel that it’s impossible for him to be gay and trapping or do they just wish he would have come out before they ever collaborated with him… hmmm? Lol smh…
These kids be stupid AF nowadays. What does any of that have to do with sexuality? Don’t they know some of the hardest dudes taking it up the ass… they know.
No real man engages in homosexual activity. Any man “taking it up the ass” never learned to be a man and instead is trying to emulate being a woman.
Ok but what IS being a woman? I’m giving you a fair chance at explaining yourself.
i could introduce you to a lot of Real Men who are gay, supportave, strong, courageous, etc. u must not be very social
You are a disgusting person and a disgrace to the human race! Being gay is not a choice and doesn’t have any effect on a persons worth! Have some respect!
When will they learn it’s not the black gays u need to be looking at sideways ??
Who are they
