Migos Rapper Offset Defends Himself, Apologizes for Anti-Gay Lyric

Rapper Offset of the Atlanta rap trio Migos took to Instagram Thursday to defend himself soon after he was accused of rapping a lyric deemed anti-gay.

Offset appears on "Boss Life," a song by Atlanta rapper YFN Lucci, where he raps the lyric: "Pinky ring crystal clear, 40k spent on a private Lear/60k solitaire/I cannot vibe with queers." Twitter was quick to call out Offset, who came under fire with his Migo mates Quavo and Takeoff last year for a Rolling Stone interview over remarks about a fellow rapper coming out as gay.

On Instagram, Offset posted a screen shot of the Google definition of the word "queer," writing, "I didn't write the line about gay people.

Read his full response below:

I have said before since these issues before that I got love for all people. My passion for fashion has lead me to a lot of gay people around me who I have mad respect for and we are very cool so I'm not in a place where I'm hating like that. When I wrote that I was thinking of words that could rhyme with the others (here, lear, solitaire, bear) and I saw this definition about her having a queer feeling she was being watched and it fit what I was thinking about a stalker creepy paparazzi situation. To me that "queer" I don't mean someone who's gay. I mean lame people who film you, post it and stalk you. Lingo that means strange or odd.

I'm offended I offended anybody.
