Addressing the matter, the 48-year-old said:
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)“There is something about Black men and the homosexual conversation that is a mess. The phobia, as it relates to Black men, is the elephant in the room. For a Black man (somehow) the worst thing is to be called gay. The first thing someone is going to allude to when trying to assassinate your character….they going (to call you) ‘gay’ first.”

Continuing, the singer added:

Responding to the host’s suggestion that homosexuality is omnipresent and is somehow even “trendy” today, Tank pushed back with:
