“Homophobic and sad and will be miserable their whole lives.”
One fan commented Cudi’s tweet by writing: “I’m sorry it got to you, Cudi. I’m sad you think it’s a diss.”
The artist responded with:“It’s more the [ignorance], I’m not insulted. It’s just sad to see people so lame, it’s sad someone, a man, can’t show joy without there being some conversation about their [sexuality]. People been callin’ me gay for years, it is what it is, it just never reached this level of fckery until now.”

Cudi ended his Twitter discussion by replying to a fan thanking the artist for being someone that brings joy.
When I was a lil boy, my dad was super militant. He never liked us playin around most of the time. He was very strict. Its almost like being silly was a sign of weakness to him. I vowed when I was young to never let anyone, not even my father, dim my light 🙏🏾💕 https://t.co/8jaj276OX7
