Migos rapper Offset – fiancé of Cardi B – took to social media on Thursday to deny that he’s homophobic.
The accusation came after Offset rapped on “Boss Life,” a track from YFN Lucci: “I do not vibe with queers / I got the heart of a bear / I bust ‘em down by the pair.”
In an Instagram post in which he shared a screen shot of the dictionary definition of “queer,” Offset explained: “I didn’t write the line about gay people. I have said before since these issues before that I got love for all people.”

The rap star added: “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.”
Offset insisted he simply needed a word that rhymed. “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,” he wrote. “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.”
Still, Offset apologized and said he is “offended I offended anybody.”
