Because being closeted shows a sign of being insecure or scared of coming out to the word, and unfortunately, people use that weakness as an insult.

She should come from a different direction then, loiiiike I'm all here for a classy drag but involving a sensitive situation like being closeted is just offensive to so many people. Being closeted should never be an acceptable drag. What if she had said that to someone who was actually closeted?

I just think her statement was problematic, that's all.

I don't condone his homophobic remarks either but he has a career.
Ashanti is still trying to get her career out of park.
She shouldn't be saying stuff like that.

in terms of careers neither have room to be getting any negative press.

but lets not act like ashanti is a new artist, who doesnt have any grammys, that doesn't have hit singles, and isn't working at all. she was a regular on Army wives and just did a movie for lifetime. her career isn't only based on music .....

Oh please. Clearly you're not familiar with her comment after the Madonna MTV lesbian kiss. It's called media training and knowing who's buying your albums

lol, gays say homophobic remarks all the time. Big deal. And that wasn't homophobic, either.

No one is disagreeing with you. Her statement is very problematic, very insensitive, and just an awful statement to make. It's just not homophobic, that's all.

What did she say?

[ToxDuris]

How is this NOT homophobic?!

She's basically calling him gay and using that as an insult.
The only people that care for her are gay guys, she's done.

I wouldn't say her tweet is homophobic; It's just insensitive. It's also an ignorant comment to make seeing as it is societies fault that Gays/Bis/Les don't feel comfortable enough to be proud of who they are.

Allegedly she said "God would never let me kiss a woman" -- I say allegedly because I'm still not sure if that quote is real or not, nor am I familiar with it's source.

I suppose I agree with this, but after making a small list of ways it's offensive, it seems to land on homophobic territory, or at least manages to be just as bad as a homophobic comment would be

damn, such bad timing for ashanti......now her single will flop and she will never get to release braveheart....her single was gonna flop either way but this just guarantees that no one will support her anymore..

[ymcmb]

i guess ashanti is hopping on to controversy trend. she has to get those dollars somehow

[BGKC]

She's basically calling everyone who's in the closet a flop. She also assumed he was gay because he's aware of her single, as if a straight man wouldn't notice she was still making music (which is probably true) either way, she's a has-been.

[YeezusCxnt]

Well she doesn't have a career to worry about so I guess she can say what ever she likes
