Lil Nas X Slams Dave East For Homophobic Comments About His Nicki Minaj Costume

Lil Nas X stirred up a storm over the weekend after revealing his Halloween costume. After years of being a rumored Barb, he embraced his fandom for Nicki Minaj with an extremely detailed recreation of her “Superbass” outfit, down to the curves. Lil Nas X received praise for the outfit from many people while also facing some ridicule and backlash from people including 50 Cent. 

For some reason, Dave East chimed in on the matter a day too late. On Nov. 1st, Dave East took to Instagram where he shared a photo of Lil Nas X’s costume, writing, “And y’all was mad at me about this n***a.” In the following post, he simply wrote, “Bati mon bun up!” “Batty man” is  homophobic slur in Jamaican Patois. “I gotta move to Jamaica,” East added in a following post before dragging Popcaan into the mess he created. “@popcaanmusic on my wayyyyy chubble.”

Lil Nas X fired back at Dave East almost immediately. The “Old Town Road” rapper called out Dave East for not only being homophobic but for also “butchering” Patois.

“it’s “batty man” n***as can’t even be homophobic the proper way smh butchering the hell out of the patois,” Lil Nas X said in response.

No word from Dave East yet but this is surely not the first time Lil Nas X was forced to respond to the Harlem rapper. Following the meteoric success of “Old Town Road,” Dave East took to Instagram where he deemed the single, “wack.”

“I honestly have gotten this question so many times, it’s like, I have the No. 1 song in the country,” he explained. “I do not give a fuck about what Dave East is saying.”

Suge Knight Calls Out Kanye West Over Offensive Comments on Carter Twins

HonkMagazine

Suge Knight is known for speaking his mind, and in a recent interview on a show called Art of Dialogue, he shared strong opinions about Kanye West’s recent behavior. Kanye, who is often in the spotlight for his controversial actions, made headlines after insulting Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s children in a tweet. Suge found this particularly unacceptable. “I need to talk to Kanye,” Suge said, clearly upset. “We should never disrespect anyone’s kids.” He was disturbed by Kanye calling the Carter twins a hurtful name, emphasizing that this kind of behavior is unacceptable in both hip-hop and society in general.

“You don’t talk about Jay and Beyoncé’s kids and call them names. That’s crossing the line.” For Suge Knight, this isn’t just about one tweet, it’s about a larger issue. He feels that such hurtful comments not only impact the people involved but also reflect poorly on hip-hop and Black culture as a whole. “I expect more from people in hip-hop and our community,” he stated. “We’ve come a long way, and we should stand up for each other, especially when it comes to protecting kids and those who are vulnerable.”

This isn’t the first time Kanye has faced backlash for his controversial remarks, but Suge clarifies that calling out children is where he draws the line. “That’s not funny to me, not at all,” he remarked, suggesting that there should be real consequences for Kanye’s words. “He needs an old-fashioned lesson.” Suge Knight’s comments remind us that, regardless of how famous an artist is, there are still moral limits that shouldn’t be crossed, especially when it comes to children. His call for accountability sends a strong message to Kanye West and anyone else who might think it’s acceptable to attack innocent kids in the hip-hop world.
