Yung Joc has said that he can’t be enticed to perform for an LGBTQ+ crowd — even if that performance includes a $250,000 price tag.
“Let’s be clear,” the Atlanta rapper said on VladTV on Monday (October 16). “If you’ve never had a quarter of a million dollars, then this seems hard to believe. If you don’t understand what a quarter of a million dollars really looks like in today’s society, then, it would be hard for you to believe if you understand the foundation of not being bought.”

He continued: “Ain’t nobody ever gave me $250,000 for a show, ever in my career. Don’t get me wrong, if somebody called me today, ‘Yo, man. We’ll give you a quarter-million’…Nah, I may not do it either. It’s not that I have nothing against the LGBTQ people. But I just may not understand. I may not be in the know enough to feel comfortable enough to do this. Nah, because I don’t want to start doing that. Maybe I don’t want to be comfortable with this lifestyle. Is that OK?”
“I may not be comfortable rapping this song, and this man is looking at me with lustful eyes with his nipples out. With lipstick on rapping my lyrics to me,” he concluded.
Yung Joc’s comments sparked a backlash on social media, with many not approving of the “It’s Going Down” rapper’s comments.
“Aside from the fact that lust is the last thing on anyone’s mind while looking at yung joc, let’s also talk about how nobody is paying $250k for a performance from him either,” wrote one user on Twitter.
“Why does yung joc think we’d care that he wouldn’t do a booking for a LGBTQ event? You can skip the “hetero” ones too and you still wouldn’t be missed sir,” wrote another.
In other Yung Joc news, he previously sat down with VladTV to impart some words of wisdom on the newly-pregnant Sexyy Red, whom he believes is promoting the “hoe spirit.”
“She’s not trying to pretend to be something she’s not,” he said. “I think she’s comfortable in her truth. But I think she has to be careful with being exploited.”

He continued: “I’m seeing the way she presents herself, and it’s not that she don’t know better. It’s what she’s comfortable with doing. I’m not knocking Sexyy Red. I don’t want nobody to think I’m knocking her. I just think she should be a little more sensible when it comes to the censorship because these babies be listening to this shit, you know what I’m saying? Gotta check those hoe spirits.”
