Rapper doesn't want your "faggot money"

Thu 13 Nov 2008 In: International News

A rapper who is best-known for collaborating with Eminem says he doesn't want any gay people to buy his new album. Homo hatred: Trick Trick Trick Trick believes society's acceptance of its LGBT citizens is wrong, and his new album The Villain contains strongly homophobic lyrics. He told Allhiphop.com: "I'ma go on the record right now with this. Homosexuals are probably not gonna like this album. I don't want your faggot money any goddamn way. I don't like it [homosexuality]. Carry that shit somewhere else." "It's just that every time that you turn on the TV, that sissy shit is on," he ranted. "And they act like its fucking okay. The world is changing for the worst when s**t like that happens. And I address that issue. I address it hard as hell." The new album features appearances from Eminem, Ice Cube, Kid Rock, Proof, Esham, Guilty Simpson and Royce Da 5'9. Ben Summerskill, chief executive of UK LGBT equality group Stonewall, is angered by Trick Trick's statements. "It's only three months since an 18-year old, Michael Causer, was murdered in a homophobic attack in Liverpool," he told NME magazine. "This is exactly the sort of sentiment that inspired his killer. Thankfully, once the new offence of incitement to homophobic hatred is enacted, anyone who sells or distributes this sort of material will be subject to prosecution."
