BlocBoy JB Thinks PlayStation Is ‘For The Gays’ And Fans Aren’t Happy With Him

You’d think after so many rappers have put their feet in their mouths on Instagram, they’d learn to self-edit, if not hire social media managers to handle their fan interactions. Doing so would certainly have helped Memphis rapper BlocBoy JB, who incurred a backlash from fans over his opinion on the upcoming next-generation video game consoles during a recent live stream on Instagram. When he was apparently asked about which console he preferred, he offered some controversial — and let’s face it, offensive — reasoning for choosing the new Xbox over the PlayStation 5.

“If you really look into it, PlayStation, they got pride colors so PlayStation supposed to be for the gays and Xbox supposed to be for the street n****s,” he rationalized. “Not saying that the gays can’t play the Xbox but I’m just saying, Xbox for the gangster n****s. That’s my calculations.”
While it’s likely he was trying to make a joke, fans quickly reversed his “calculations” on him, turning him into the butt of the joke — which we’re sure he enjoyed. They pointed out how illogical his conclusion was by noting that many of the games on both systems fall under stereotypically masculine pursuits like combat, sports, and various combinations of the two. As one fan put it, “@BlocBoy_JB thinks I’m gay because I play violent manly video games on my manly Playstation when I’m gay for many other reasons outside of that.” Check out some of the responses below.

Blocboy said Xbox was for the heteros and PS5 was for the lgbt and now look. Sounds like the gays won this round.

Gareth Dunlop evokes a soulful hit in the new single “Small Talk”
Gareth Dunlop’s new video “Small Talk” captures the art of conversational fumbles with both wit and warmth. Dunlop has never shied away from the uncomfortable; he digs into the unfiltered reality of those painfully relatable moments when you blurt out something awkward, only to cringe and regret it immediately internally. It’s a self-deprecating anthem for anyone who’s walked away from a conversation thinking, Did I really say that? With a blend of self-awareness and humor, “Small Talk” reveals the artist’s vulnerability, showing that even seasoned performers can be socially clumsy.
The video amplifies Dunlop’s charm, adding a layer of visual comedy to his storytelling. You’ll find yourself smiling at the little quirks and nodding in solidarity as he navigates awkward exchanges with an endearing sincerity. His delivery is reminiscent of influences like Van Morrison and Foy Vance, heartfelt yet tinged with a knowing grin. The understated, acoustic-driven arrangement allows his smooth, soulful vocals to take center stage, letting each lyric resonate.
“Small Talk” is a universal truth wrapped in melody. Dunlop’s honest confession about failing at “gentle conversation” becomes a charming anthem for those who’ve shared the same experience and ever overthought a casual chat. “Small Talk” reminds us that it’s okay not to have all the right words sometimes. With its relatable theme and infectious melody, “Small Talk” is a testament to Dunlop’s ability to find beauty in life’s imperfections. Here’s to the brave souls who face each awkward moment with grace or a good sense of humor.
