Lil B Says He’s Transphobic And Needs “Help To Learn To Accept”

“I’m scared because I’m not comfortable with myself”

July 27, 2015

Once the backlash started rolling in, however, he slowly backed away.

Lil B has always presented himself as a beacon of positivity—but there is one topic that he's still learning not to be judgmental about: trans issues. In a string of tweets tonight, Lil B openly discussed his transphobia and expressed how he wants to be more accepting. His monologue began with the provocative comment, "I might start saying I'm trans and I'm a woman so I can be in the girls Locker room with the ladies !!!!!! No homo I'm still growin'."

When a follower called him out for referring to transitioning as "new science"—a word that's been derogatively used by other hip-hop artists like Timbaland, Snoop Dogg, and Chris Brown in reference to Caitlyn Jenner—Lil B was grateful for the correction.

He concluded by preaching learning, acceptance, and self-confidence.
